Misc. Ramblings

I spent most of the time I have for a post this morning trying to respond to a comment left by fellow Daynoter Phil Hough. Unfortunately, my response got bounced. Several times. From two different email servers (pair.com and gmail.com).

So I took a look at the email address Phil left in his comment and compared it to what he has on his site and noticed it was different. Hence, I decided to respond to the address on his site rather than the one he left on the comment and that seems to have gone through (at least it hasn't come back at the time of this writing). Crossing fingers that it went through.

Sorry Phil if it doesn't but I tried.

In any case, all I have time for are a couple of links:

"Vista" is what the next version of Microsoft's operating system will be called. It used to be codenamed "Longhorn" but now you can call it Vista. You can visit the Windows Vista site here. But I'm not sure if the 2006 ship date will be met and, if so, what features will ship when it does. While I'm sure there will be a lot of changes under the hood, I've heard that there won't be much that you won't be able to get in Windows XP. But all of that is just speculation and we will have to see what happens.

As a follow-up to my latest post on Wal*Mart's anti-union tactics, I got an email from the Deputy Director of Communications of an outfit called American Rights at Work. She tells me they've created a website www.walmartworkersrights.org that details what she says is "the retail giant's unfair practices in the workplace and a platform for activists to communicate their opposition to Wal-Mart's anti-union behavior."

I don't know who she is nor who pays for the site but with that disclaimer, feel free to check it out.

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone - Aloha!
