New site for helpdeskers

Ian Landsman gave me a head’s up this afternoon to a new site he’s created, helpdesktalk.com. In his words:

HelpDeskTalk.com is a new site dedicated to the help desk community. I created this site because there’s simply a lack of help desk focused forums available. The best we currently have are IT forums that will occasionally have a help desk topic or two. This forum is a place to call our own and I hope will serve as a great resource for our community over the coming years.

I think it’s a great idea. It’s brand new, so there’s not much discussion going on yet, but I definitely plan on being involved in it, and maybe trying to get my coworkers involved as well.

    Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like if you’re going to make a major media announcement about the new look of your homepage you should make something truly different. The new beta Yahoo page just moves things around. (Probably so that the banner ads show up mid-page instead of at the top where they…

    Per Dianna’s request, in the comments, here are my first impressions of IntraVnews: First off, I’m running it with Outlook 2003, on an older type laptop running Windows 2000, with only 128MB of RAM, so YMMV. But, I’ve found that with about 80 channels subscribed, it doesn’t run as slow as I was afraid it…

    Yeah I’ve only got these 3 days to get through before I head off to Gnomedex Thursday morning. I can tell you, mentally, I’m already gone. *L* Not that I won’t do my job well and make sure all of my loose ends are tied up before I head out for what will be 12…

    Doppler 2.0 RC1 is out. I downloaded it this morning and checked for the bug that I had to work around in 1.1.1 involving using space savers by date, and sure enough it’s fixed. And that’s not even the best part about it. It also supports multi-threaded downloads, resume downloads, and comes with a light…

    I said earlier that I was reserving judgement on the new Lockergnome layouts and things until after I’ve used them for awhile, and I intend to do just that. However, one thing that is irritating me (And today, everything is irritating me, so maybe it’s just my mood.) is that the RSS feed for the…

    Maddy left a comment asking about what I found most useful in preparing for the A+ exams. Here go a few thoughts: First, as I’ve told you before, I read two books. I would recommend reading at least one book covering the current versions of the exams, even if you’ve been working with PC’s for…

  1. Very interesting Mike. Thanks for the link. I’ll be bookmarking this one too, and hopefully contribute something meaningful to the conversation.

  2. Thanks guys! Your support is greatly appreciated. As Mike notes, things are light right now (hey I just turned it live this morning!). Forum sites are really hard to get started so this early support is really important.

  3. I think this is the guy who writes some helpdesk software – it looked pretty impressive when I saw the screenshots so hopefully it will be a good resource and not just a plug for his software 🙂
    I’ll be keeping an eye on it too.
