Tech chatting

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kevin has the latest episode of his In The Trenches podcast up on his site. I quite enjoyed being part of the Tech Chat with Kevin, Kevin Mazur and Eric Maynard, chatting about the difficulties of dealing with dissimilar systems on your network. Eric put his show prep notes on his site, and I have some further thoughts on the frustrations of proving the cost-effectiveness of standardization when the only cost management sees is your time, which they’re already paying for, but those thoughts haven’t quite finished percolating in the coffee maker that is my brain. Hopefuly they will and I’ll post some more about it tomorrow. In the mean time, what do you have to say about it?

    I haven’t blogged about the new anti-spam law in Virginia because I didn’t really think there was anything new to add to what’s already been written. But this morning, as I listened to the local radio station WWCD, I heard something worth blogging about it. As they were discussing the news story, the morning DJ…

    I was paying my cable bill just now and I noticed that the insert this month was for something called Time Warner Cable Home Networking, where Time Warner will install a wireless network for you, all for the low price of $14.95 per month, plus possible equipment and installation fees. When I took a look…

    Finally a day without fires to put out, maybe I can get caught up on the tech happenings around the ‘net this week: Windows 2000 SP3 is available. As Josh says in his pointer to it, there’s not much info on exactly what it does, so I’ll be following my normal “wait and let someone…
