Well I have just set up my blog here at TechRepublic. I haven't done any blogging yet, so we will just have to see how it goes :)

Well it's been 11 days since I started this blog, and this is on my second post.  That's not very good.  It's not that nothing has been going on, there has been (ok, so maybe not earth shattering stuff, but my stuff none the less).  It just that I am having a hard time getting into the blog mode. 

BTW - I just saw that MS came out with Visual Studio Express Beta 2 downloads.  I might download it, but having to clean my system of Beta 1 dosen't sound like a fun task to me . . . the price of progress?

Well another day in the life a small company system administrator.  Our phone vendor came out today to finish the installation of a new cabinet and voice mail system.  Of course it required re-setting the system so some of the work need to be done after hours.  I stayed late to make sure any questions could be answered, but guess what?  The vendor did not have a key piece of software requried to do the system upgrade.  I wouldn't have been upset if this wasn't the third time they we not able to complete the upgrade.  I don't get paid for overtime, so this was taking my time.  The worst part of it is the software the tech did not have was WS FTP!  I polietly suggested that the tech go back to their office and do a test upgrade on their cabinet before retruning :)
