The long lost story of Squeaky Lobster finally revealed…

by @ Thursday, June 15th, 2006. Filed under tech

Do you know what the Squeaky Lobster registry key is? If not, you won’t find this story as interesting as those who do but it is still an awfully funny look into coding decisions. To the developer with the cunning alias of “Andrew Goodsell”, I feel for you dude and completely understand. And actually, I […]

~Eric’s big DIT

by @ Thursday, June 15th, 2006. Filed under tech

BrettSH was heard saying “Eric is only about 5’10” and you cannot even see him when he turns sideways but is running around with one of the biggest DITs in the universe…. Where does he keep it? Does size really matter? How much of that DIT is the product of fluff and how much is hard […]

Tranformed View

by @ Sunday, June 11th, 2006. Filed under general

Still cleaning… I got through a couple of more sort drawers and found just masses of stuff that I shouldn’t be keeping such as an old broken linksys wireless cable router (I had dreams of tearing it apart and trying to fix it sometime…), old Borland Framework posters I never hung up, more IDE cables […]

Memberof Updated – V02.03.00

by @ Sunday, June 11th, 2006. Filed under updates

I was contacted about a bug in MemberOf. Stupid mistake on my part really… If a user/computer was in a member of a group that was locked down via permissions from the person running the tool they would have the opportunity to experience MemberOf hanging and eventually crashing. Again very stupid mistake. This is now […]

Robert Scoble leaving Microsoft?

by @ Sunday, June 11th, 2006. Filed under general

Word on the street is that Robert Scoble, renowned blogger, is leaving Microsoft. This is sort of confirmed by Robert on his blog in that he says he is upset about what some of the people are saying especially in regards to Microsoft about it. I am not certain this event is deserving of all […]

That’s a spicey meatball…

by @ Friday, June 9th, 2006. Filed under tech

~Eric wrote up a nice blog entry on a huge ADAM DIT file he created (~2 TB) and the errors that pop up when you run out of Distinguished Name Tags (DNTS). If you have even the slightest clue what I am talking about check it out at http://blogs.technet.com/efleis/archive/2006/06/08/434255.aspx     Rating 3.00 out of […]

PackRat-itis

by @ Friday, June 9th, 2006. Filed under general

I seem to have developed packrat-itis somewhere along the line. I think this is something that has been brewing for years. As I got bigger places to live and more and more hard drive space I just accumulated things. You can read that as I had places to tuck things out of the way so […]

Triumph of the Nerds… where are they now?

by @ Friday, June 9th, 2006. Filed under tech

I just recently watched Triumph of the Nerds by Robert X. Cringely again. That is such a good show if you are into the history of the computer revolution and how we got here and it is accessible to anyone, not just gear heads. Sure there are little problems with it here and there where […]

Capturing VHS Video to MPG or WMV

by @ Friday, June 9th, 2006. Filed under tech

So what do you use to capture VHS Videos? I picked up a DVD Express and it just completely sucks. I got it to work long enough to capture two 20 minute home videos. Pretty worthless. It seems that my Media Center with Hauppage cards can capture as well but I don’t get any audio […]

The Apprentice Wrapup

by @ Friday, June 9th, 2006. Filed under general

I am a little late on this one but congrats to Sean.  I don’t really think Lee had a chance, as was said often, he was a politician, not a business person. Maybe Trump would want politicians but he seems to like people who get work done versus people who talk about getting work done. He […]
