Well the HP laptop I ordered was not supposed to be built and shipped until next week but I just read a notification that it was shipped this morning (EST). Not sure where it is coming from but it has 5-7 days to get here which means I will probably have it in my hands […]
I have been thinking a lot about what my next house should look like as well as where it should be, etc… My main requirements are lots of space, I can’t actually see (nor hear) a neighbor, high speed / broadband (preferably 4Mbs+), natural gas (but also have wood burning capability), “on the grid” (but […]

Avoid Household Mortgage (HSBC). I think the company is composed entirely of idiots. I have had issue after issue with them and they are really stupid issues. The loan will be payed off in the next three months so I thought I would make sure I write up a rant about them before I forgot. […]
On a listserv I am a member of recently someone asked about the app that could be used to convert applications into services. I realized that this is probably good for all sorts of people to read because many don’t understand it. Here is an adjusted form of the note. Question: I need an app […]
If you have old computers and users laying about your AD and you haven’t found it yet, there is a tool on my website that I built with the input from many bright folks from the activedir.org list. The tool will look for old users or computers and allow you to do several actions to […]
