TECHNOLOGY: FEEDBLITZ has its uses

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

A fellow blogger was surprised when his blog wasn’t updated as he thought it was. Feedblitz sent me his summary and when I clicked to read it, there was nada there. I pinged him and he was surprised. I explained to him how I use feedblitz to (1) confirm that I posted stuff and (2) as a back up and recovery mechanism, in that all blog posts are echoed in my email. Weather he adopts the strategy , or “outsources” checking up on him to me, who knows?

XPfails – luggable – Reinstall, reboot, try again and again

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

XPfails – luggable – Outlook Lookout fails – Reminder left hanging

Wednesday, January 10, 2007

Outlook gives me a reminder. Good. I click dismiss. Outlook transforms into LookOut and leaves a zero reminder hanging out. Eventually the performance degrades to unacceptable. Reboot. Argh!

Not having a very good day today. It appears that RU moves the game time for TV. We have tickets that say 2PM. It’s being played at noon. That really aggravates me!
