Thursday Threesome
We were talking about how things get done here at the Back Porch and thought we'd include everyone in the discussion: ::A geek in the family::
A geek-- Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? ...the six year old? ...or someone from outside? ...and how about in your web space? No, we're not looking for techs; we're just curious .
Me, and Scott, about equally, except when it comes to hardware. He's a lot better with hardware issues than I am. My 'web space' is not used any more, discounting this journal and the photo blog, which are maintained by their respective sites. I also do some of the tech support at work.
in the-- computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? ...and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it's more than a casual question.
I used a Windows 98 desktop, and a Windows XP home laptop. Both run Internet Explorer 6. The desktop also has Mozilla Firefox, in yet another attempt to get into one of the browsers everyone says I'm supposed to like. I didn't like it. I just haven't gotten around to uninstalling it again yet.
Family-- Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? ...and how about your 'off line' friends? ...or do you supply a little bit of separation there?
Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! Hi, Scott! Hi, Jenn and Rob and Becky and.... Augh. Hi, everyone. :P Yes, my friends (online and off) and family read my LJ. Not all of them, certainly, but enough to count, I think. :) Whether they care - well, they reply to my posts, so I assume so.
