My very first “school computer incident” was so innocent by comparison for most people. I was maybe 11 and I was learning about batch files and I made one named win.bat that printed “hello”. Well I’m sure most folks know what happened next

Mannnnn the nostalgia. I loved programs like this and Sub7c my favorite was DivineIntervention 3 I just liked the interface and thought the name was cool lol. I’d love to see what all the devs of these things are up to today. Pri$m, if you’

We send multiple billions of emails a year, and text messages, and push messages, and outbound ivr messages, and two way chat messages, and print messages, and in some cases fax messages lol. Our outbound volume is extreme and luckily only

It’s the same where I am. We’re a fortune 4 and the number of people who create jobs for their friends is outrageous.

I don’t know how many folks really know how much money is spent by big (and medium and small) companies on sending email but I can tell you it is considerable. My last job was a small retailer and we spent maybe 2m a year just on platform c

I feel like this is one of those “the media creating a story where there isn’t one” situations. Not in terms of apples new changes - there’s definitely a story there and many people are upset about it. But I’d wager it’s a minority. And I s

I’m glad that people are trying to figure out any technical flaws in the system as best they can, but if I’m being honest I do trust Apple’s engineers to have built something that is solid from a technical stand point. Am I correct in that

I very much enjoy when one of my colleagues gets a win and I’ll be their biggest cheerleader. Hey check out what Dave did man this is super cool. Hey did you see what Sally did it’s awesome we’re gonna do a roadshow on this one. But the rea

For work things I often have to enter a code from one or another app that expires every few seconds. I've always wondered how exactly that works. Where might I go to find out about that? Is it as straight forward as googling "how

I do know some companies pay to occasionally phish their own employees. I think (hope) it’s mainly used for training. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there are teams dedicated to this sort of effort. Would it be illegal?

This reminds me of that movie where the criminal boss gets arrested and as he’s being taken to prison a large crowd of reports gather as he’s a big deal crime boss. He turns to the cameras and says he’ll give anyone who gets him out of pris

My bug fixes almost always start out with “why the F did I do that?????” And then a long series of “oh…” before I finally get to the “ah hah!” Which is a moment I still enjoy after all these years. But fixing someone else’s code I’m more li

I spent several minutes trying to get my AirPods to connect to my phone today instead of my iPad. Ended up being late for a call because of it. Happens a few times a week. More than irritating. First world problem, to be sure. But still the

I love London but man I feel bad for the folks who live there in the city. Same for NYC. It’s like the ultimate goal is to coat every surface in ads. Drive out the people who can afford to leave. Then force everyone else to work three or mo

Has anyone ever uses Salesforce marketing cloud? You can build emails drag and drop. And the code it creates is…ok. You can even use the UI to do fairly ok dynamic content. You can build data tables with the UI. It’s…ok. You can do very sim

Wanna know the sad thing? When I was…12 or so… I thought all those cool icons were awesome. So I _only_ installed programs that had them…and all those little “desktop buddies” I had maybe five of them. Innocent days gone bye.
