Weekends

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I probably won’t be posting much the next couple of days. The in-laws are coming up for a visit, which is cool. I actually get along pretty well with them. With it being a 3-day weekend I’m still hoping to get some geek stuff done for myself on Monday. Mostly I need to get the laptop hooked into the home network and get some software updates. I haven’t been traveling so it hasn’t been needed, and it’s fallen behind. Not that I’m planning any traveling in the near future, but you never know when the ‘net connection is going to crap out at work again, so having an up-to-date laptop is never a bad emergency plan.

    As a bit of a follow up to last night’s Gnomedex comments, let me say this. I do think it’s the attendees that make a conference great.

    While I remain busy finishing up some work projects, I figured I’d drop a line and let you all know what to expect to see around here while I’m gone. First there’ll be Gnomedex reports, and pictures. I won’t be doing the real-time blogging that others will be doing, mostly because I can’t pay attention…

    Community Groups Short on Tech -an interesting article because so many of these excuses are what I hear at my work. While not a “community group” we are a not-for-profit, so our budgetary constraints are a bit tighter than most businesses, and our vision and tech expertise is a little bit less as well. That…

    There’s an inherent flaw in using Google’s “pages like this” function. Some blogs can appear to be alike one day because they both discuss a certain topic, but may generally have very little to do with one another. This is especially true when you get a group of people talking about going to Gnomedex, because…

    I’m home from work today. I am not feeling very well, although sleeping in until 11 AM seems to have helped some. Maybe I just need a day to shut down and rest? Who knows! Anyway, I’m behind in updating and blog-reading, so more to come later, maybe! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
