Update of stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Thanks for all the suggestions on a new name. Turns out that rather than just go with one of those suggestions, I’m leaning toward combining two of them and thusly, giving away two PC World subscriptions, assuming that Toby, who left one of those suggestions, will take the time to send me an email so I can reach him!

More info on the plans when I find time to come up with a new logo and do some actual work!

Speaking of time, as most of you know, I’ve been much busier doing consulting work for my old job than I had ever anticipated and it has really, really limited the amount of time I have to work on stuff I want to do. One of the things I haven’t had time to do is write for the 2guys2cities site. I just sent off an email to the site owners about that fact, and letting them now that at least for now, I was going to have to stop. I know they are looking for writer’s willing to make a certain commitment to having content and I am just not able to live up to that commitment right now. The door is still open to doing some writing on there in the future, which I was glad to hear, but I need to focus my energy on other things right now.

I’m really looking forward to only having one job again. March can’t come fast enough.

    Hey, there’s a new patch, I think, that fixes the Yahoo “problem”. I’ve been away all day so I don’t know the details but I know I couldn’t connect to Yahoo yesterday, I went and looked for an update today, installed it, and now I can connect to Yahoo. Where have I been all day?…

    Not sure if it’s related to the blaster worm or not, but email to this domain is not being delivered right now, and hasn’t been since at least sometime this afternoon. I don’t know if it’ll bounce eventually or get to me eventually, but if you’re awaiting a response from me, don’t hold your breath….

    I’ve had some time now to digest some things that have been going around the blog world and I have some thoughts: I’m glad that Elcomsoft was found not guilty but given the facts of the case I’m not too sure that this is really the death knell for the DMCA. The problem is that…

  • Empathy as a Trainer

    Make sure you are exercising those empathy muscles. They’ll help you understand where everyone is trying to go, and they’ll help you care enough to want to help them get there. That’s learning and development in a nutshell to me.

    Jeffrey Randow was kind enough to leave a comment pointing to a little bit of extra info on the firewall settings since the firewall in XP SP2 will be enabled by default. I’ll have to take a close look at the firewall before I deploy this thing out to the few machines that have XP…

  • Another busy morning

    Yes, yet another morning filled with answering virus questions, hooking things up, looking up details, tracking down failures, etc. (aka yet another day in IT!) But I just wanted to take a moment and share DNS Report, especially the mail test. It comes in handy when you don’t get direct access to your ISP’s mail…
