Thank you to everyone who participated in our drawing for Cavs tickets.
The last few weeks have been jam packed with meetings and appointments with new prospective clients thanks to you!
I love the Cavs and they are certainly on a roll this year. I would argue that ANY seat at the Q is a good seat – but these are the best seats I’ve ever sat in. They aren’t exactly ON the floor (just 1 row back from the floor), but you will have all of the amenities of floor seats and be just below eye level with the players.
We moved into our new offices on Feburary 1st. Using Photosynth, I offer you a 3D view of my new workspace. Enjoy!
Looking for an easy way to connect with readers on your website? I was – then I found Google Talk: Chatback.
Do you have a blog, online profile, or some other personal web page? Would you like to communicate more with your visitors? Today we’re launching a new Google Talk feature that lets visitors to your web site chat with you. We call it “chatback” because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it’s a real instant message session.
To use chatback, you must have a Google Talk account … but your visitors don’t have to! They don’t even need to have an email address, or to have ever used instant messaging.
This solution works for me because I am the only person at my company that a website visitor would need to chat with. This may not work if you have a “team” of people who you want your visitors to connect with.
Of course, being a free tool, bells and whistles are eliminated – such as gathering (even the most basic)information about the chatter. But its benefit lies within its simplicity.
If you want to try this out for yourself – visit my personal website and start a chat with me!
Enjoy!
This afternoon I was able to successfully upgrade my Lenovo ThinkPad T60 to Windows 7 Beta (build 7000).
The upgrade took forever (about 2 hours). This was contrary to my experience installing a clean copy of Windows 7 on a virtual machine.
My ThinkPad T60 is my production laptop. I use it about 30% of the time during any given week – mostly at when I am away from the office.
So far, all of my applications that I had installed previously are working. All of the drivers I had installed previously are also working (no red X’s in device manager).
I decided to do an in-place upgrade to save me the trouble of downloading and installing drivers. I may try a clean install in the coming weeks if I feel that my system is acting up because of the upgrade.
For the record – I never recommend doing an in place upgrade of an OS – clean installs are the way to go. But I am making an exception here simply because things like driver compatibility with a beta is sketchy at best. If there were published Windows 7 drivers – I would have gone directly to a clean install.
As I have more time to play with this I’ll keep you updated.
