Still Learning How To Blog

I attempted to trackback to an article on another blog, but somehow did not enter the URL correctly, and users that clicked on the link simply saw a mis-directed message. Not being one to give up easily, I will give it another try tomorrow.

Was I ever happy to see the computers in our learning center replaced with Dell computers this afternoon. Now we have Internet access on six computers, instead of just one. The speed of the computers is fantastic, my new page with the photographs from our last dinner loaded within fifthteen seconds. This is true T-1 speed. DSL will take over seventy-five seconds to load, and cable will load in about sixty seconds. Dialup will, well I would suggest taking a walk around the block while it downloads the images.

Our new pressroom manager will not be announced for another one to two weeks, and this was from the horses mouth. I would apply for the position myself, but I'm over qualified, we generally fill this position with people with no printing press skills or experience.

My crew members and myself had a chat with our vp of production this afternoon, and somehow the conversation turned to double speak. What do I mean by double speak? When a company tells share holders why a CEO left the company, such as "He left to spend more time with his family", and what it really means, he was fired. Well today we experienced problems with color registration, we were testing neutral feed blankets. What this really means, they cost less than the regular printing blankets we normally use.

The Tribune stock dropped again, this marks seven straight days of losses.

And lastly, the passports for my children and grandson have arrived. David and JoAnna's passports are good for five years, and Nathan's passport is good for ten years. All we need now are shorts and tank tops, way too hot and humid to wear pants and shirts in Cozumel.

Good Night Everyone,
Eddie
