Meeting Frustration
Lesson for the day: Meetings without agendas are a waste of time. Right now, I am working on projects for half a dozen different departments within the county, and all of them want more time, and none of them have any technical knowledge. This has made my life difficult, and…

iPhone 4: Should I Really Get One?
I was just thinking about the life of minimalism that I would love to live, and also my hatred of phones. I am definitely a fan of having what basically is a computer in my pocket, especially one that is connected to the Internet, but do I really need to…

Passwords, Passwords and More Passwords
One of the most frustrating things at my work is the number of passwords. We have a manager in place to help us find the right passwords for the right things, but if someone forgets to update the password in the right spot, then confusion ensues. It has definitely already…
