Coping

February 23rd, 2007 | by audit |

Well so far I’ve been coping if that’s what you want to call it. I know that my body picked a hell of a time to have issues with the new DST changes coming into effect on March 11th this year. I have god only knows how many client computers to make sure they get patched but an Exchange server that just isn’t that happy with me so I know that next weekend starting at midnight Friday night, I better have my meds and plenty of sleep before I come in for a long weekend.

The good part is my Blackberry has been working out great for me, so good that my CEO came up to me yesterday and asked how it was working with our network and what it would take for him to get one on our network. Well that’s simple, I just purchase another license for the BES Express server and activate his BB on the BES server and let things sync away. He said that he’ll be getting with me over the next couple weeks so I imagine that he’s going to be getting his hands on a new BB. I told him to stay away from the Pearl blackberry’s because IMHO, they are more for personal type usage then professional. Plus I don’t like the size of them but that’s just me. I remember when he was thinking about upgrading to a Treo because my boss and myself had one but we couldn’t sync EVERYTHING from outlook at the time, now there’s a new version of Versamail that allows that but my boss hates it and it crashes his Treo more often then before.

On that note, Marc from Chattermail has stopped development on Chattermail because he accepted a position with Palm. So I’m glad that I got away from Palm when I did because Chatteremail was the best thing I had on my Treo. I’m also thinking about dumping all but 2 e-mail address’s that I have to cut back. Right now I have over 200 e-mail address’s in one way, shape, or form and only actively use 3 of them. So I guess that will cut back on a lot of SPAM that I get although my filters catch better then 95% of them.

Well looking at the clock I see that it’s time for me to take a 5 minute break before I dig into the servers and start reading Microsofts KB articles about the Outlook patches that I’ll be installing all week.
