Wednesday

The figurative hump of the week. And what occupied the growing HTTP today?

• Began the day at my township office, bidding to get their web maintenance and IT services contract. I can provide a better level of service and customer service than their current provider. We'll see, hopefully soon


• Then did the RAM upgrade that had been postponed for parts delivery. The client has a Dell Optiplex GX1, which is now a fairly sprightly machine. However, there was a tense moment when I forgot that Dell cases often have an intrusion detection switch enabled. I remembered that the reset is in the BIOS, but no key press that I tried got me to the BIOS setup screen. The trick is to do nothing, and the setup will prompt on its own. They're happy campers now, and they'll get a few more years from their PC.


• And lastly, I was given responsibility for the Michigan part of a non-profit organization's web site. That's pretty huge. Yes, OK, it doesn't technically pay anything, but it could lead to other things.

So thats that for a Wednesday. Things are picking up pretty well.
