Websites/Databases etc.

Why is it that I never notice how a database or website is so handy except when it's not working right? Ipage is finally working better again. It was up and down for awhile and driving me nuts. Titlesource acting up is even more devastating on my work flow. Since I order quite a bit it feels like I live on this websites/databases.

Lately work's email has been a challenge. Something got infected or something and the spam has gotten out of hand. I deleted over 100 messages on Monday. Today I only had around 4o, so that is some improvement. The email and IM have been going up and down like a yoyo while they've been fixing it. Hopefully it too will stabilize soon at least for awhile.

It's a short week and I've actually had time off the desk. Now if I could just get all that snow shovelled, life would be good.

Titlesource

I've been hearing through the grapvine that BT's Titlesource is starting to drive everyone crazy. Oh joy. It's supposed to be BT's fault, so who knows if if it will ever get fixed. The speed here at RV has been an issue also with our terminals, especially the public ones. The login times and off are so slow and people get impatient, so you spend alot of time rebooting computers.

B&T Titlesource

I may be going crazy, but at least our computer services knows that there truely is a problem with this database. I sent out an email and asked other selectors to send problems to Nicole and Chuck. B&T say they will work on it. We'll see.

Baker & Taylor is driving me nuts

Baker and Taylor's ordering website(Titlesource) is driving me nuts. It likes to lock up my computer. Then I have to retype in my last order assuming I can get re-logged into it. It did this yesterday and is doing it again today. ARGH! It's been over 20 minutes and it still has not let me back on.
