As mentioned in passing previously I installed Vista on my HP AMD 64 bit Laptop, build 5308 (yes I know it is out of date, I am downloading 5342 as I write this) and it was slow slow slow slow.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?

Today I was looking over someone else’s code being used to set an Access Control Entry (ACE) on an Access Control List (ACL) in a Security Descriptor (SD). The main issue I ran into is that they didn’t understand the core basics of what you are setting on the ACEs. I started wondering, hmmm how […]

As I spin down from yet another meaningless hectic month I have come to the conclusion that this simple country red-neck hick boy[1] has had enough. As much fun as it is to run around with your hair on fire and having no time to spend on exactly what you want to spend it on […]

… spend them by bringing in Dean Wells to teach you and/or your staff. I must state up front that Dean is a good friend of mine but that just means I know how bright he is and how well he can present info. Don’t take my word for it though, go look at anyone […]
