Wednesday's comic
Oct. 21st, 2020 08:20 pmI was so mad about this. Doubly so as my boss wouldn't actually show me the complaint, just give me his summation of it.
There had been no making fun of people. No laughing at people writing the change. Just me showing my coworker the problem and saying how it had to be fixed.
I ended up hacking my boss' computer to get a copy of that email...

Connection problems
Nov. 26th, 2014 05:49 pmAbout 4:30 our internet died.
Don't know why.
I can still connected through my phone, but can't even get to the ISP's website. So, I think the problem is there, not somewhere in the wire between here and there.
The sad thing is I was good and worked on work all day, even with the new World Of Warcraft expansion only a few feet away from my work laptop.
Then, just after I said "9 hours is enough for today" and logged on, total connection loss.
I hope they fix it before Monday. Hopefully before Friday.
But, it is a big holiday here in the US...

Jun. 12th, 2013 06:34 pmI apparently walk faster than email. In the process of moving us to our new building at work, we have to deal with a month of very slow internet.
I found out how slow this morning when I emailed a note to one of the folks who worked for me.
I then walked over to his desk to discuss it. I had been there for more than a minute when it arrived.
So, I walk about 4 times faster than email…
(OK, I’ll grant you the email went to Switzerland and back and I only walked the 15 feet. But, still!)

Connection problems
May. 11th, 2013 12:04 pmWhen we got home from work yesterday the Internet was down.
But it was game night, so we went to that and didn't fix it.
Today we found it was our Airport router.
So, I took it to the Apple store at the crowded mall 20 miles from us.
I walked in and explained the problem.
"You really should have made an appointment," the man said.
"I would have, but this is broken," I said holding up my Airport.
He laughed and patted me on the back.
"We'll done, sir," he said.
Now my wife and I are having lunch at our favorite Indian restaurant, then back for my appointment.

12,000,000,000 isn’t enough?
Sep. 18th, 2012 02:02 pmMy first computer had 512,000 of memory, and was considered pretty good at
the time.
A year later I updated it to 1,024,000 memory, which was amazing. There
were magazine articles out at the time saying “here’s what to do with all
that memory.”
So, when my new designer came to me and told me that twelve thousand times
more wasn’t enough to open his files, I was a bit surprised.
Twelve billion isn’t enough?
But, we are dealing with files that are very large. Let’s face it, I’ve
got apps on my iPad that are bigger on their own than all the floppy disks
I owned in 1986 put together.
So, I doubled his memory and he tells me it is much better now.
That’s good, but I still boggle at how far computers have come in terms of
adding zeroes, but still run slow.
