In Recovery
August 30th, 2004 |
Had surgery late last week and lost more blood than expected. Thankfully, no transfusion. Considering I have low blood pressure, I’m very tired. The pain is not bad - it’s the tiredness that got me. Thanks for all your well wishes. Update: I did neglect to mention the surgery reason. Trust me — not something you [...]

Return to Original Graffiti
August 25th, 2004 |
When I received the Tungsten T3, I was instantly happy with it except for one thing — the Graffiti. I had to unlearn years’ worth of the original Graffiti to use the T3. To date, I still can’t remember how to do punctuation. If I had the T3 first, then the Grafitti is great for [...]

Stop, Thief!
August 20th, 2004 |
It’s a sad state when another elementary school Web site steals bandwidth from yours by linking to the image instead of downloading it and putting on its own server. The school can have the image. I don’t care. Ah, so I had to teach them a lesson, hence the screen shot. Only the black font is [...]

Crisis Management
August 20th, 2004 |
The Internet may have opened worlds for businesses and consumers, but it has also created a public relations nightmare for businesses. Forums, opinion Web sites, blogs, and anything that is publishable can smear a company’s name in moments. Remember, “Yours Is a Very Bad Hotel” presentation that described one customer’s bad experience with a hotel chain? [...]

Tech Relationship Advice
August 19th, 2004 |
IT pros talk about “those end users” all the time, much like athletes talk about their opponents in the locker room after a game. But IT pros also talk about “their own,” often because of their — ahem — “unusual” ways of handling end user calls. VoIP (Voice over IP) technology is gaining popularity for obvious [...]
