Never fails

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, you say something nice about a service, lots of other people start talking about it, and they start having problems. As useful as I think Twitter can be, currently the Gtalk IM function is completely unreliable, which means using my blackberry to send updates and get notifications doesn’t really work. I have to be logged in to the website to see or post updates, and the website is obviously suffering through some growing pains and has a tendency to be very slow every once in awhile.

As cool as your service might be, if it doesn’t work consistently I’m eventually going to quit using it. C’mon Twitter, get your act together.

    Linked – Yahoo says half a billion accounts breached by nation-sponsored hackers

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Given the wide range of personal information exposed, the possibility of attackers obtaining plaintext passwords is only one of the major concerns stemming from the breach. Yahoo users should be wary of communications that may use some of the compromised data to trick them into clicking on links, divulging information, or taking other actions. Glad…

  • Light Bulb Moments

    Today was a very good day. I had two training sessions scheduled, back to back, covering two very different topics. One was supposed to be a class, but turned into one attendee, on working with transcripts in Summation. The second one was a scheduled one-on-one training session on using an RSS reader. In both sessions…

  • Revue Newsletter Option

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    What I have been experimenting with, and which might interest some of you, is the new email newsletter tool that Twitter has made available, called Revue. It’s a little more hands-on than the current newsletter, so while I plan to send it out every Friday, I can’t swear to you that will always happen. On the other hand, I get to add some more stuff to this newsletter because it’s more hands-on. So I can pull in some links from other sources, drop in some text, etc. In essence, I’ll be experimenting with it, but you can expect that the goal will remain the goal I’ve always had with my blog, writing, and sharing interesting things that might help you out with technology, work, etc. 

    You can subscribe, and take a peek at some of my recent experimental issues over at my Revue profile. I hope you’ll consider subscribing, and sharing with your friends if you find it useful!

    Failure to Communicate

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    This is a bit of a follow-up to a post a few days ago about whether having an open ticketing system would help with the communications between techs and the users they support. As I mentioned there, and talked more about in the comments, when you have systemic failure to communicate, it’s much more than…

    Linked – Top 7 Tips: How Any Employee Can Help Guard Against Cyber-Attacks

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As pledged last week, in my piece on cryptolockers, today I am running a code of best practice to guard against email-related cyber-attacks. The bulk of cyber-defence, in terms of software and server monitoring, is the responsibility of a business’ IT department or service provider. However, there are measures that the individual employee can, and…
