A few days ago I said I was "back in the saddle" in terms of blogging - well..maybe. I got a nice hot rock of an issue presented to me at end of day on Thursday right before I left to come home, and I've been working on it (and two other things) throughout the day today. Most of today was spent jumping from conference call to conference call (I spent 468 minutes on the phone today. Yes, really, 468 minutes. Less than enjoyable..)
Although, the four hours of drive time home on Thursday night was some time to think and clear my head. :-)
Anyway, this issue is fairly sticky one, and i just decided to call it a day a few minutes ago as I'm tapped out. Next week looks to be a bigger hill to climb than this one (but, hey, I've got my runnin' shoes on!), so I'll give it a go to be extra-diligent at posting regularly.
Update: After much due diligence on Friday and Saturday, our team has reassessed our issue - not as bad as we initially thought :-) That said, I put away the work stuff at 5pm on Saturday and decided to let the brain rest. It is now Sunday at 6pm -- It's been a good 24 hours of rest. I feel so much better. Note to self: don't forget to rest now and then.

I've been getting some questions as to my whereabouts (and that of The Mobile Minute). Answer: I'm right here [CLE], and TMM will be published on a non-regular basis for the next two weeks (ok, let's get a little reality here - it probably won't be published at all, and I'll likely have FeedDemon showing three four-digits worth of unread blogs).
I've been spending quite a bit of time with work (current project is migration of an enterprise application from NT4 to Win2k3 - and we're right around cutover time), and all else except family is falling by the wayside (even then, I'm guilty of doing more work than family when I'm home on the weekends). Frankly, I'm just too bloody tired to do anything else. I will give kudos to my wife for her tolerance; however, I sense her patience wearing thin (I wondered how many years it would take her to get to this point).
Anyway, that's the scoop, folks. I'm off to bed; I'm feeling a bit flu-like (lack of sleep is a real bitch). Tomorrow is another day. Peace.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/Articles/Dispatches/P75086.asp $41 billion.

Vodafone looked ready to land AT&T Wireless with a bid of $14 per share, but Cingular’s board met at 1 a.m. ET and decided to go with a $15 per share all-cash bid, CNBC’s David Faber said. But many will be wondering if Cingular paid too much, considering that $13 was thought to be a good price.
Interesting.
update: Thanks to Michael, I now have the correct amount listed (million, billion - what's a few dollars amongst friends <g>)

Fiddler v0.9.0.2 is out (despite what the web page says).
I've only been using the tool for about two weeks now, but I find it quite handy. I'll usually pop open this before I go to something like Ethereal

Avowed Windows Mobile basher, Russell Beattie “fondles” (his word) a Windows Mobile 2003 powered Smartphone - and likes (for the most part)
“. . . And speaking of the other OSes, let me tell you that I finally got to fondle a Windows Mobile Smartphone for a few minutes the other day and it was surprisingly good. Actually, it was amazingly good. Compelling, easy to use, quick menus, all the functionality that I would expect (and more). As someone who (regretfully) uses Windows on a daily basis, I was completely at home with the UI and icons, etc. Seeing the Internet Explorer icon was obviously where I would browse the web. The MSN Messenger icon showed me I could chat, the File manager was clean, the back button worked intelligently and clearly, the home screen with the organized PIM info was incredibly useful. . . .
. . . Of course, all the "little" things about that OS are bad like battery life, reliability, etc. (It is a Microsoft product after all). But the kernel of usability is there and now it's just refinements. We all know what happens when Microsoft's products go 3.0. If I thought it would help to go to rooftop and ring a bell so that Symbian and its partners would do more to ward off the coming doom of Microsoft's Mobile OS, I would, because if things don't change quick in the Symbian world they're going to have real competition sooner than later . . ”

The Exchange team blogs about the orgins of the M: drive. A bit *huge chunk* of mail geek humor in their blog title “You Had Me at EHLO” (here for a tiny bit more insight)
They also talk about the Offline Address Book (OAB)

update: KC Lemson informs me (check the comments for this post) that I was a too conservative with my assessment of the amount of mail geek humor in “You Had Me at EHLO”. She's right.. Thanks, KC.
