IT Muse-ings: May 2008

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 27, 2008. I signed up for the Beta of a program/system called Evernote (www.evernote .com). Evernote is basically a virtual clipboard. Here’s how their site explains it:. 8220;Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at anytime, from anywhere.”. I’m loving it so far. Links to this post. I’m currently working on Spam filtering… again. Well It turns out t...

IT Muse-ings: Can you hear me now?

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008/08/can-you-hear-me-now.html

Friday, August 15, 2008. Can you hear me now? It’s that time again. Another contract is up; and it’s time to start digging for “the best deal.”. I switched from Verizon to TelePacific for phone services a few years back. We got better rates, and just as (or more? Important, much better service. Even the monthly invoicing was better – all in one envelope. Happy days! Is there something out there that will blow traditional services out of the water? So the hunt begins.

IT Muse-ings: September 2008

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 28, 2008. Three cheers for the Helpdesk! I’ll begin by saying that our helpdesk system rocks! At this moment, we have only 16 total requests in queue, and most of those requests are project related. Our system has allowed us to stop being fire fighters all of the time; and become a proactive IT team. 8221; “Excuse me; where is the restroom? 8221; “Do you know where I can find Pastor Bob? 8221; “Can you tell me when Mom’s study starts? Another reason for our success is a person that I hi...

IT Muse-ings: Everything Internet

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008/06/everything-internet.html

Thursday, June 19, 2008. I've got a new computer sitting on my desk. So far; there's minimal software installed on it. My old computer had roughly 60 or so apps installed! I found myself needing to make a flowchart, but hadn't re-installed Visio. I did a search and found an online flowchart program (free beta from flowchart.com). It's working for my needs. Then a thought occurred to me. How much of my job can I do by using apps on the Internet? Better yet - How much can I do online. for FREE?

IT Muse-ings: August 2008

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Blast From the Past. About two years ago; we started using Katharion as a third-party email filter; and up until now there’s been no problems. In fact; things were so great I turned off our local spam filter. For the past week or so; we’ve been blasted by an influx of malware laden email. I contacted the helpful folks at Katharion and they said that they were working on it. Links to this post. Monday, August 25, 2008. Why I don’t Twitter. Links to this post. Church a few years b...

IT Muse-ings: How would you like that?

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-would-you-like-that.html

Friday, August 22, 2008. How would you like that? I was visiting Saddleback. Church a few years back; and Eric Busby said something that stuck with me. I'm sure he didn't come up with it, and I don't know who did, but it's fantastic:. Good - Fast - Cheap. Good Fast = Expensive. Good Cheap = Slow. Fast Cheap = Inferior. I'm sure you've seen this before; but it has saved my skin more than once, so it's worth repeating. August 22, 2008 at 1:23 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blast From the Past.

IT Muse-ings: January 2009

http://itmuseings.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 30, 2009. What have we done? Back in the "heyday" of Information Technology, I.T. was seen as the Golden Grail of business. Projects were funded without hesitation, a good salary was a given, and grand songs were composed for the "computer guy" hero. We have grown out of touch with people and made them our arch nemesis - the "user.". Them - along side them - will. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

IT Muse-ings: What have we done?

Friday, January 30, 2009. What have we done? Back in the "heyday" of Information Technology, I.T. was seen as the Golden Grail of business. Projects were funded without hesitation, a good salary was a given, and grand songs were composed for the "computer guy" hero. We have grown out of touch with people and made them our arch nemesis - the "user.". Them - along side them - will. Seven months of non-bloggage? You better have something to say when you get back from vacation! July 22, 2009 at 6:45 PM.
