This blog does have a deep end :-)

Last year, before a major surgery, I sat down and wrote eighteen things that I had learned with the idea of posting it on my blog. I just found the piece of paper last week. Here’s what I wrote: Time does not heal all wounds, or doesn’t heal them in a timely manner. Just let it Continue reading

VPN and Vista woes, and some Office ramblings…

I’m getting the world’s weirdest errors with VPN and Vista. Something about it not being able to negotiate the security policies. I even tried running it as XP. My works IS department says they can’t help me because they don’t support Vista. Surely one of my five readers has an idea???? I really don’t want Continue reading

Trying out Vista

I’m trying out Vista now, I’m enjoying it thus far, but I know that I’m not using it to it’s full capacity yet. I had expected it to be a lot more difficult than it has been thus far. My brother, in setting up Firefox, set it with three tabs as the home page: Photomatt, Continue reading

More congratulations for Automattic and others…

Ok, just catching up to the Crunchies – I know, I know, it’s a week late. Many congratulations to Automattic and Toni Schneider for the Crunchies that they won! I believe they deserve every accolade that the world wants to give them, but I might be biased…(then again, maybe not) I was not surprised to Continue reading

Day 13 – nothing going on, but no time to do it in

I feel like I’ve been running ragged all day, but have gotten very little done. Truthfully, I’ve gotten a lot done. I went to work @ my Saturday job. Then I went to the coffee shop twice, stopped by Jade’s work, picked up a friend @ the house, and ate lunch. After that, it was Continue reading

Day 12 – Blatant misuse of a whiteboard

So I wrote this on my work white board, took a picture with my BB and promptly forgot about it. Everyone was asking me how Matt’s birthday was, and I was wondering how they knew…so much for trying to transcend the ditzy blonde stereotype… Continue reading
