New site for helpdeskers

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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.

    Anyone ever used PocketFeed? I’m looking for something that’ll do RSS on my new PocketPC but I also recognize that since I don’t have a WiFi card for it, I’ll be syncing it on the laptop for all the RSS feeds. It might be just as easy to run Amphetadesk on the laptop and copy…

  • Batch renaming?

    I find myself in need of a tool that I’ve never really needed before. It seems that our newest addition to the digital camera collection we have going starts it’s file naming process over from 1 whenever you put in a new SD card. So if you’re on a trip or out somewhere taking lots…

  • ISP to impose bandwidth quotas?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Right now broadband ISP’s are just looking at the idea and while, from a business standpoint, it does sort of make some sense, it will be bad news down the line. I understand that some broadband networks are being negatively affected by file-swapping. That’s to be expected from a technical standpoint. The problem is, however,…

  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.
