I actually meant to blog this awhile ago, but I have a question. Is there some level of geekdom that’s passed when your wife sends you an email, in which she has a small list of chores that require your attention and she ends with the instruction to make sure you add said list to your Wiki?
If there isn’t, I think there should be.

It’s one of the areas of working in IT, specifically on the helpdesk, that no one ever prepares you for. They don’t cover it in the tech magazines, they don’t talk about it on tech podcasts, and you don’t hear much about it when you’re training for your career, but at some point, you will…
in 2004-2005, when I was looking for a job, I heard from a number of IT consulting companies, and unfortunately, most of them turned out to be companies I would never work for. Between the ones that lied to me about jobs, or lied about my qualifications to companies, to the one’s who called my house…
From Scripting News, Dave’s followup to a post about suddenly getting 1000’s of copies of the same message: “Postscript: I hadn’t opened any of the emails, I just did, and saw that he’s marching through all four-letter combinations of email addresses at one of the domains I own. I turned off email forwarding, hopefully that…
Looks like I’ll be doing some research on the latest batch of MS patches rolled out yesterday. Whee fun! OK so it’s not the most exciting part of my job, by far, but I’d rather read the technical details of these to see where we might be vulnerable than deal with the mess after someone…
So I got here this morning, and our internet connection was still down. The nice folks at the phone company did get it working just before 9AM, approximately 20 hours or so after they did something to cause the problem to begin with. Now everyone can get back to online shopping, online banking, sending personal…

If your chore-wiki was online I could just add things myself. Wait, your chore-wiki is never going online now, is it?
Hmm… can we get that chore-wiki email posted?

lol – underthethumbgeekdom?
the funny thing is that I was thinking of something similar to that this morning so that Kristen and I would both know what needed doing, rather than both of us paying the same bill!
At the beginning of this year I added a wiki to our family site to maintain a couple of ‘shopping’ lists(grocery, dept store, home improvement).
It’s been working really well as opposed to our old pen & paper lists that always got lost or weren’t updated.
Best part is, it’s a wiki, my wife needed a mere 10 seconds of training on how to add to/modify the lists.
I can’t put it online, the Wiki has much more than my to-do list, it has private information about my workplace, my former workplace, a volunteer organization, etc. I don’t think you’d want me putting that online dear. Besides, it’s on my thumb drive so I can access it even when I don’t have internet access. 🙂
Now if I could figure out a way to share my Outlook calendar with my wife, that would be nice.
you used to be able to post your free/busy info to a website and as long as you/angela had the url configured in outlook you’d both be able to see the information.
The real solution of course is for Outlook to be ical compliant and make it easy to export the data so you could import it into the mozilla calendar application.
I don’t know what level it is, but you should definitely get a gold star.
credit must be given to the Mrs. for knowing what a wiki is.
If I said ‘i’ll add that to my wiki’ I would just get my face slapped.
