Vista doesn't like change

Per Jake again:

Truman, Jake A [1:01 PM]:
windows vista is idiotic. "the network settings saved, do not match the network" SO GIVE AN OPTION TO CHANGE THEM DUH! i mean seriously....who wrote that error message and thought "oh yeah...this is helpful...this is a great idea....because vista's settings should never have to change...you should have to change the settings on the whole network! YEAH!"
it's an ordeal to change them, should you decide to do them. why not just give the option to change?! WHY?! WHY!?


How true that is. It is much simpler to change the network settings on the router than it is to change the settings on Wireless Zero configuration.

IE Vs. Firefox & a death in the family

Firefox is not your friend, it is not faster nor more secure. It uses more resources than IE contrary to popular belief.

Now on to other news, I know some of you *may* use Firefox, and there are some of you who are on an Apple, unfortunately my site is designed to work with IE as that's all we have at Charter when I do the majority of my editing etc.. And it's all I use at home as Firefox still isn't compatible with Vista.

I know I have those "Download Firefox" buttons on here, but those are "sponsored" links.

Here is a good read for some of the truths about those commonly held Myths about FireFox

Now on to the sad news of the day, for those of you who read this site, you most likely know Andy Falin from the lead team at Charter Communications... He passed away this morning. The following is the email Dave Wilson sent on to us:

"Team:



Many of us have either worked with or sat near Andy Falin from the lead team. Andy passed away this morning at his home. Andy was sick for the last few days and was having problems breathing this morning before he left for work. EMS did all they could but could not revive him.



I know many of you who were on my HSD team worked with Andy closely. We will have a grief counselor on site this week in HR. Brian, Tom, Schaun, and I are here for anyone who wants to speak as well.



Please keep Andy and his family in your thoughts tonight. I’m sorry I have to do this through email."


Andy Falin, Lead @ Charter Communications Louisville KY HSI support center

Honestly I don't have anything to say, I never really knew him, I had good leadchats with him, but I never knew what he looked like or what he was all about. As much as it may make me seem like a horrible person, I don't have any sympathy or empathy for him or his family because I was not personally involved with them in any way. I do send my condolences though because I know how it is to lose a loved one and I wish only the best for those closest to him.

I have a new supervisor again, Amy Masters. She was my supervisor before Carlos Ramos, who was my super before my current one, Tom King. I had Tom King for a supervisor for only 1 week.
