Vista thoughts.

by @ Monday, April 10th, 2006. Filed under tech

As mentioned in passing previously I installed Vista on my HP AMD 64 bit Laptop, build 5308 (yes I know it is out of date, I am downloading 5342 as I write this) and it was slow slow slow slow. In fact, I thought the darn thing had hung on me when I didn’t see […]

Virtual Server 2003 R2 Upgrade

by @ Monday, April 10th, 2006. Filed under tech

Questions to Microsoft:  1. When I upgraded Virtual Server 2003 to Virtual Server 2003 R2 why did I have to upgrade the Virtual Machine additions individually on each and every single guest? Shouldn’t it have been enough to say, upgrade all of these for me?  2. Why did it take two reboots?   Rating 3.00 […]

More on intelligent design or maybe not.

by @ Monday, April 10th, 2006. Filed under general

By resurrecting a protein that disappeared 450 million years ago, a trio of University of Oregon researchers have shown how evolution could have produced the amazingly complex biological systems that some have claimed are evidence of “intelligent design.” The research, published today in Science magazine, provides an evolutionary path for the intricate “lock-and-key” relationship between […]

No….

by @ Monday, April 10th, 2006. Filed under rants

I haven’t written anything too inflamatory for a bit so possibly this will be. We shall see. 🙂 Those who know me know I have a special affinity for Ford. My first car was a 1971 Ford Mustang with a 351 Cleveland (yes it makes a difference) big block, my next car was a 1972 […]

Insomnia…

by @ Monday, April 10th, 2006. Filed under general

Who needs sleep? Personally I think I do but getting my body to cooperate at times can be a bit of a trick. I don’t tend to need a lot of sleep, never really have. 4-6 hours usually seems to be enough with some catch up times occasionally where I go into an 8-10 hour […]

This has got to make a person feel good…

by @ Friday, April 7th, 2006. Filed under general

http://www.gilsblog.com/index.cfm?commentID=66 It appears I have an “uncompromising take it or leave it personality”. Who would have thunk it. 🙂 I admit, I do have strong opinions and they tend to come through pretty clear, if I think a certain way or have a certain feeling about something I am not the greatest at hiding that […]

Blog upgraded…

by @ Thursday, April 6th, 2006. Filed under updates

I upgraded the blog software this evening. It would have gone perfectly but I dorked it up. 🙂 Long story short, I wanted to use a parallel install upgrade method and when I did that I totally spaced on one of the directory levels required. It is something that I have only encountered with this […]

Barenaked Ladies…

…are good. Just something happy making about their music (what did YOU think I was talking about?) We’ve got these chains that hang around our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath…. Lyrics like that and it is still a fun song. 🙂 Go Canada, Eh! Rating 3.00 […]

Hurray! Or maybe not.

Apple unveils software to run Windows XP… Hurray… oh wait… Isn’t that called dual boot and hasn’t that been available for like YEARS and YEARS and YEARS now? What’s different? Oh yeah… Apple actually runs on Intel now. Very impressive. Umm no. Not sure where the excitement is there, Apple can now do what people […]

Print this and insert into Chapter 26

by @ Tuesday, April 4th, 2006. Filed under tech

While working on an ACL coding issue I realized that there was some info that I had intended to put into chapter 26 of Active Directory Third Edition that I seem to have spaced on and forgot to add (that or I spaced when looking for it). It involves special options for reading/writing the Security […]
