I’m a Chicken Hawk! (anyone remember Foghorn Leghorn?)

by @ Thursday, August 31st, 2006. Filed under general

One of my MCS friends pointed me at this… Cracked me right up… MONTPELIER, Vt. – A middle school that censored the anti-drug, anti-Bush message on a student’s T-shirt violated the boy’s right to free speech, an appeals court ruled Wednesday. The shirt bore images of cocaine and a martini glass — in addition to […]

Perl script to defrost a.k.a "warm" an AD or ADAM cache…

by @ Wednesday, August 30th, 2006. Filed under tech

I seem to field a lot of questions on this though I am far from the expert here. However, here is my take on it… Warming the cache is not limited to x64 with giant DITs, it just happens to be something people like to force up front with x64 with large DITS because the […]

Someone donate a TV Remote Control to the AFA…[1]

by @ Monday, August 28th, 2006. Filed under rants

…so they can change the channel… The latest from my friends at the AFA below… They want you to contact CBS and pull programming. I find it funny that instead of telling their concerned members to avoid the channel they instead tell them to contact CBS and try and force them to change. You know […]

Sex slave mourns death of captor…

by @ Monday, August 28th, 2006. Filed under general

This is an odd and sad story…  The girl held for eight years as a sex slave in a tiny underground dungeon said yesterday that she was sorry her kidnapper had killed himself. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/new… Rating 3.00 out of 5

Cancer Killer

by @ Monday, August 28th, 2006. Filed under general

This is pretty cool news… A synthetic molecule that triggers cancer cells to commit suicide was effective in mouse cancer models, scientists said. They hope the finding will herald in new drugs that can activate this mechanism that causes cancer cells to hasten their own death. http://www.foodconsumer.org/777/8/Synthetic_compound_triggers_cancer_cell_suicide_.shtml Rating 3.00 out of 5

MS The Office

by @ Monday, August 28th, 2006. Filed under humour

Do you like “The Office”? UK or US? I like them both. I think the boss, David, from the UK version is much funnier than the boss, Michael, in the US version. But I like Dwight from the US version more than Gareth from the UK version who are playing the same type of brown nosing […]

Livewriter bug #1

by @ Monday, August 28th, 2006. Filed under tech

I appear to be a bug magnet. Using the product just a few days and bam… Ok so you will notice on my blog site I have an entry for interesting changes in E12. At the bottom of it I had a web link to the EHLO blog with the info… Only the link didn’t […]

Interesting changes in Exchange 12 (aka Exchange 2007)

by @ Sunday, August 27th, 2006. Filed under tech

The EHLO blog folks posted an interesting blog entry on some upcoming changes for E-12 that change how you provision users and also changes to the recipient policy mechanism (the RUS dies) and hurray, it looks like they might have gotten a clue with the property sets and put the Exchange attributes into Exchange specific […]

LiveWriter

by @ Sunday, August 27th, 2006. Filed under tech

I have to say this tool is pretty cool and it certainly makes blogging easier. I am loving it, great job Microsoft. 🙂 Things that could use work, not in any particular order. 🙂 Use F7 instead of shift-F7 to spell check. On a seemingly regular basis the display will jump around. I would like Font […]
