Frontier Airlines

by @ Sunday, September 18th, 2005. Filed under general

I was forced to use Frontier Airlines this last week. I had never heard of them let alone used them. Unfortunately I had to be somewhere fast and all of my normal airline choices couldn’t get me there because they were booked up. So I had to go with Frontier, I am sure someone in […]

Parachute drop and Exchange Server Side Rules

by @ Sunday, September 18th, 2005. Filed under tech

I was the victim of a parachute drop this week. What is a parachute drop? It is where there is a problem somewhere and your boss calls you and says, you need to be on the next plane to “insert name of city in the world here that you weren’t planning on being at tomorrow”. […]

Converting octetstring GUID values to GUID strings using vbscript

PLEASE SEE POST – http://blog.joeware.net/2008/05/03/1230/ Just a quick one here.

by @ Thursday, September 8th, 2005. Filed under tech

Of course lots of folks are talking about the events in Louisiana and I have started hearing some a fairly common startling comments… “How come the military isn’t involved?
