Link-baiting Aside

I’d like to take a moment to say Thank You to Kent Newsome for a link here to my blog.  His post Link-Giving: An Alternative for the Rest of Us mirrors a bit of what I’m thinking on a lot of the A-List link-baiting issues.  Personally I’m not interested in doing stupid human tricks for a cheap link from any of the A-List blogger’s.  However, a link simply because someone reads my blog/feed means much more.  It means that I’ve provided some kind of value, and that is all I’m trying to do here anyway.

Patch Tuesday – May 2007

I am really not going to miss the monthly patch cycle for thousands of computers.  Instead, I only have 5 systems (myself) that automatically update themselves.  By the way, don’t forget to reboot next week folks.

Blogging Outdoors

Finally, after a summer of construction, a difficult and disappointing winter we are able to sit outside on the patio.  It’s sunny, quiet and really relaxing.  So I’m just blogging a quick aside while sitting at our patio set we picked up last fall and just listening to… nothing!

Didn’t use my “mobile kit” at Connections

Did you know that I didn’t actually use my “mobile kit” when I was at Connections last week?  It was much too productive to simply pull out my sleeping laptop and jump on the available WiFi or T-Mobile EDGE service.  This fact really makes me think harder about what my next mobile computer should be.  A traditional laptop/convertible/tablet becomes a stronger option than it was two weeks ago.  More thoughts on this later.

Elevated SPAM Levels

This past week I’ve seen an increase in the amount of comment spam I’ve been receiving.  There have even been some attempts to get them moderated or accepted as trackback comments.  Ugh!  Not real bad yet, but getting close.

Lots of news today

I’ve been finding a lot of interesting stories and content today.  There have been a number of links I’ve bookmarked that will be posted a little later.  Several fun and interesting tidbits at the Connections conference here in Orlando as well that I hope to post on today or tonight.
