Ctrl+Alt+Del
I work in IT Support, yes, I have endless stories about user "naivete"
A very common one is the Ctrl-Alt-Del...I wouldn't even know where to start, so I'm just going to share a couple of true stories...
1. Don't admit that you know how to do something when you don't:
1. Don't admit that you know how to do something when you don't:
Me: Do you know how to do CAD? (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
User: Yes
Me: Go ahead and do it
User: Do what?
Me: CAD
User: How do you do that?
2. User just received a new monitor because the current monitor is too dark. User called us to install new monitor:
Me: Let's go ahead and do CAD
User: Where? On the new monitor or the old monitor?
User: Yes
Me: Go ahead and do it
User: Do what?
Me: CAD
User: How do you do that?

What else can I say?
I like Flickr, but sometimes....
I like Flickr, it is a pretty cool service, unlimited storage and affordable even if you pay for it, although the free account they give you has some pretty nasty limitations. My pro account just expired this weekend and seems like I'm going to be forced to shell those $25/yr if I want to see all my pictures (with the free account you can only see your most recent 200 pictures...arghh).
On the other hand, it seems like they are against embedding slideshows in a website. With Picasa I just click a button and it will embed a slideshow or give me the code to embed the slideshow in this blog or website, not the same with Flickr, nada.
With Flickr you can only blog one picture at a time, however, there are several websites out there where you can enter the URL for your photo set and it will generate a code for you to copy and paste into your website/blog and "voila" you have a slideshow from Flickr.
This seems to work for everyone except for me. I have an idea that it might have something to do with the fact that I used to use Yahoo Photos and then my pictures were moved to Flickr.
I like Picasa a lot better but it has limited storage which grows very slow and the paid option doesn't compare to the paid option from Flickr.
So, here I am trying to figure out which site to use once and for all, not an easy choice if you cherish your pictures and want to have them online and don't like to pay a yearly fee and both sites has pros and cons :-
When is the World Wide Web going to evolve and truly become free for all? Probably never...
So, if you click the link below you can access the pictures I was talking about on my previous post. As I was only able to post one, I chose one of my favorite one from that set, by the way, if you are not a pro photographer and don't know how to use your digital camera very well (like me) you will find it hard to take pictures like these under the same circumstances.

Volume Skateboard Comp - Rochester, MN
Thanks to my friend Scott Shull and Volume I was able to be part of a skateboard competition they sponsored in Rochester, MN. It was really cool to see the kids perform their tricks and make the effort to win the comp.
I also tried to be a photographer and with my not-so-pro digital camera was able to get some cool pictures. I'm trying to embed the slideshow to this post but in case it doesn't work here the Link

Up North
Our weekend up north was awesome, fun and re-energizing, we really enjoyed and it was a lot of fun. The highlight of the trip was the bed and breakfast we stayed on, it is called Mountain Meadows and I can't explain how great it was to stay there.
Mountain Meadows is a cabin in a 60 acres property in the middle of the wilderness in South Gillies. Its owner, Margaret Walsh, it's an awesome christian lady who has lived all of her life in the wilderness. Sometimes you just wonder how she manages to do it all, she is amazing and with cool stories to tell; I would definitely recommend this place anytime.
While in Canada we also went to some other attractions nearby and we visited Thunder Bay, if we would have known better we would have stayed the whole time at the b+b, nothing really interesting in Thunder Bay nor the attractions around.
Margaret has a wild black bear that comes every night for her to feed him/her. She's also visited by a moose, timber wolves, deers, etc... We'll definitely go back if we have the chance to go up north again.
We also had the chance to spend sometime in Gooseberry Falls, Duluth and Grand Marais; awesome places to visit and hang out, of course, the drive along Lake Superior is just a treat in the fall season.
