Say what you really know…

by @ Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011. Filed under quotes

Just because something is unexplained does not mean that it is paranormal, supernatural, extraterrestrial or conspiratorial. Before you say something is out of this world, first make sure that it is not in this world, for science is grounded in naturalism, not supernaturalism, paranormalism, or any other unnecessarily complicated explanations.    – Houdini’s Principal Rating […]

New developer environment for joeware…

by @ Friday, March 18th, 2011. Filed under tech

I finally moved my software dev machine from Vista to Windows 7. Specifically a Windows 7 SP1 x64 (Intel Core i5) laptop. All source code has been moved to the new machine and the old Vista laptop will be put into a box for a few months before I attempt to reload it with Windows […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day–AKA Carbon Monoxide Detector Day

by @ Thursday, March 17th, 2011. Filed under general

Buy a new one, replace an old one. Test all of them but realize that the testing doesn’t test the ability to detect CO, just the ability to sound an alert. Once again… CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS EXPIRE. BUY NEW ONES BEFORE THE OLD ONES EXPIRE. Rating 3.00 out of 5

Moral Responsibility…

by @ Tuesday, March 15th, 2011. Filed under quotes

Don’t let yourself be victimized by the age you live in. It’s not the times that will bring us down, any more than it’s society. When you put the blame on society, you end up turning to society for the solution. There’s a tendency today to absolve individuals of moral responsibility and treat them as […]

Adding sAMAccountName and sAMAccountType to ADAM/ADLDS directories

by @ Friday, March 4th, 2011. Filed under tech

First and foremost… ADAM rocks. 🙂 With that being said… I regularly like to pull users and groups from AD and stuff them into ADAM. In general the normal ADAM schema is sufficient but for users and groups from an ADAM standpoint, ADAM is a positive step away from the SAM DB and as part […]

AdFind V01.44.00 and AdMod V01.15.00 released

by @ Thursday, March 3rd, 2011. Filed under tech

As mentioned previously, AdFind V01.43.00 had some issues with non-Microsoft LDAP directories due to a check I added to detect if paging was available[1]. I mistakenly assumed that RootDSE’s would all return the supportedControl attribute by default. I fixed that. 🙂 In the meanwhile I took the time to work on a few other things […]

AT&T iPhone better for media, Verizon better for calls…

by @ Monday, February 28th, 2011. Filed under general

In my review of the Verizon iPhone, I found that its call quality and reliability were superior to that of the AT&T iPhone’s. However, data transfers were significantly slower than AT&T’s, making the AT&T iPhone better for media consumption (watching Netflix, downloading apps, etc.) while the Verizon iPhone is superior for phone calls   http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/02/consumer-reports-verizon/ […]
