Welcome to The blog of whall

Come on in and stay a while… laugh a little. Maybe even think. Read more...

Hi, This is Wayne. This is my site, my stuff, my blog, blahblahblah. The site itself is powered by WordPress and the Scary Little theme. I thought it was cool, and I still do.

This reminds me of the first time I heard of the MS Exchange site.

Back in 2002, a co-worker of mine said “Wayne, you gotta go to this link! I’m learning SO MUCH!” and then AIM’ed me http://msexchange.com.  It pops up on my screen and look.  I look again.  Then I yelled back “look, Jack, there ain’t NO way I’m going to ‘em’ sexchange dot com!

He hadn’t even thought of the URL that way.  We had a great laugh over that one.

MS Exchange means Microsoft Exchange – one of the most popular corporate email systems on the planet.  And I did learn that the site was a great resource to help with our Exchange infrastructure.

Remind me sometime to tell you my whitehouse dot com story…

And lo, the people did comment thus:

      Avitable – maybe not that link, but yes, I’ve heard of most of those companies. Some are great / brilliant and others are simply unfortunate. Kind of like the homeless.

    That is so scary but what scares me more is that you found it. I mean what were you looking for that you came across that?

    Awww, Shiny beat me to it.
    I was gonna say that since I’m such a pen enthusiast, and reasonably interested in having my own private island someday, I LOVE “penisland.com”….

Want to comment?

Hey, we all want to share our voice. And I particularly love comments, especially if you took the time to read my blog entry. I'll take the time to read your comment, I swear! But due to spammers, robots, and the fact that I want my blog to be PG rated, I need to approve the comments. This should be same day, but please don't get mad if it takes me a while to approve the comment.
