My 40GB iPod doesn't do too well with my jogging. It seems to only last 30 to 40 minutes, and then just stops playing. I've got to plug it in and reset it once I get back home.
However, I just got a 6GB iPod Mini about a week ago, and I haven't had that problem. I don't know if it's because it's still new, or if it bounces around less because of its reduced weight.
Either way, I've also got a little 1GB Sony Network Walkman which I just take to the gym as my backup, in case my Mini eventually starts to fail on me.
Rich G.? Works with Brian and Milan and those guys up in Salem? That's the only Rich springing to mind.
The TSS job title is used for the local techs for each county. They go as high as a level 5. As far as I know, there's only one level 5 in the state (Jim in Multnomah).
No, I mean TSS. Technical Support Specialist. I'm pretty much "everything support" right at the moment. I'm the only tech for my county, as well as the next one over. So I handle networking, user training, all application installation and support. Everything. Phones, copiers, printers... My TCA has a habit of saying "If it plugs into the wall, it's your responsiblity."
Yeah, I AM one of the techs. I'm a TSS 4. So as far as what I'm personally responsible for, there's no open source. Microsoft, CourtSmart, Laserfiche, IBM, Lotus, McAfee... the list goes on and on.
But if some of the techs in Salem get to play around with open source, good for them. I kind of envy their ability to experiment. There's only so much I can do locally while still sticking with what Salem says to use.
Unfortunately, not all government agencies in Oregon are following along. I work for the Oregon Judicial Department, and there's not a drop of open source in use that I know of. It's pretty much all Microsoft, Lotus, and Corel.
What's even worse is that there's a lot of alternatives in use between counties. For audio recordings in the court, most counties use either FTR or CourtSmart. My court uses Office products, even though the "official" standard is the Corel suite. It makes it difficult at times when working with other counties.
I think it'd be great if we went with Linux and Open Office, but that'll never happen.
Yup. I went to one of those. *Lots* of shut-ins. I lived in the dorms for the first 2 years, and there were some rooms where the smell was just unbelievable...

It's even funnier because you screwed up "swepad"

For some reason I read that as "scratch 'n sniff".
Everyone knows that the most effective treatment for Parkinson's is a 90 lb. lead hat. (with apologies to lil' Jimmy...)
What makes them think Longhorn will be out before then?
Yup. I went to one of those. *Lots* of shut-ins. I lived in the dorms for the first 2 years, and there were some rooms where the smell was just unbelievable...
