Tuesday, January 2, 2007

Argh! Some very good, some very bad. I think I’m going to edit. The typos, misspellings, and bad grammar is just terrible. What was I looking at. Argh. Months are tougher now. More content.

This sometimes feels like a nag, but it has been able to keep my interest for 2006. So, hence, in 2007, I recommend it to you. Take their daily email, and let me know what you think next January.


XPfails – luggable – OUTLOOK

Tuesday, January 2, 2007

Outlook, aka LookOut, takes an error in a reminder. It hangs up. Eventually performance goes to zero. And MSWORD locks up. Arghhh! Reboot required. Lost time ~30 minutes to close up and restart. And, about 2 hours running at reduced throughput. Arghh!


WRITING: Blog2book update

Tuesday, January 2, 2007

Did May. Extra time required because WordPress was missing a lot of the month. But “belt and suspenders”, I had backup. ;-)
