Information about joeware mixed with wild and crazy opinions...
Taking my simple white background away… even temporarily isn’t nice… I don’t appear to be alone in that thought.
From what I understand, it will be back to normal shortly.

This is from http://bink.nu/news/windows-7-media-center-updates-for-tuner-issues.aspx
Update 1
An update is available for Windows Media Center in Windows 7. This update fixes a deadlock issue that occurs when you use a TV tuner in Windows Media Center. When this issue occurs, you may experience one of the following symptoms:
- You receive an error message that resembles the following when there is no apparent tuner conflict: Tuner Conflict
- You receive an error message that resembles the following when there are available tuners: No tuner available to satisfy the current request
- The Windows Media Center Receiver Service (Ehrecvr.exe) stops responding and you have to restart the computer to recover this service.
Notes
- This issue may occur if you change channels fast and frequently (also known as "channel surfing"), in Windows Media Center.
- These symptoms may be caused by other issues that are not related to this update. For example, you may receive similar symptoms when you try to query current state of a TV tuner or of a malfunctioning hardware device.
An update to the TV tuner functionality in Windows Media Center is available for Windows 7
Update 2
On a computer that is running Windows 7, you use Windows Media Center together with an analog TV tuner to watch live analog TV. In this situation, you receive intermittent Low Bit Rate overlay messages in Windows Media Center.
Windows Media Center monitors the incoming bit rate of live TV. Without this monitoring, the bit rate drops very low when the analog TV input is weak or does not have a signal. This causes a black screen or a static screen to be displayed. With this monitoring, Windows Media Center displays an overlay message to indicate a possible issue with the incoming bit rate when the analog TV input is weak or does not have a signal.
However, the method that is used to monitor the incoming bit rate on analog signals is too sensitive. This may cause a false detection of a low bit rate.Note Many regions have switched over to digital broadcasting. There are hardware configurations in digital broadcasts to convert the digital signal to an analog signal. These configurations can include set top boxes and digital to analog-switch-boxes.

A generous way to say thank you would be to purchase this house for me and pay up the taxes and utility costs for the next 50 years… Oh yeah, the salary for the full staff that would be needed to maintain the place would also need to be supplied. 🙂

Apologies for the blog being down. Seems someone at my ISP made some DNS changes. I am unsure yet if I was warned in advance. But you can be sure to read more here soon as I learned something else as well that doesn’t thrill me.

The world’s smallest horse was born in late April on a farm in New Hampshire. Weighing in at 6 pounds at birth, Einstein appears to have beaten the previous record holder by three whole pounds.
I started going through some old books my grandmother gave me and an old very weathered / yellowed piece of paper fell out of one of them with the following joke…
A priest wanted to raise money for his church, and being told there was money in horse racing, decided to purchase a horse to enter in the races. However, at the local auction, the price of horses was so steep that he ended up with a donkey instead. He figured that since he bought it, he might as well enter it in the races anyway.
To his surprise, the donkey placed third in his first race. The next day the racing sheet carried the head-lines
"Priest’s Ass Shows"
The priest was pleased with the donkey and entered it in another race. This time, the donkey won. The next day, the racing sheet read
"Priest’s Ass Out Front"
The Bishop was very upset with this kind of publicity, so he ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in any more races. The paper read
"Bishop Scratches Priest’s Ass"
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the priest to get rid of the donkey. The priest gave the donkey to a nun at a nearby convent and the headlines read
"Nun Has Best Ass In Town"
The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey. She sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read
"Nun Peddles Ass For Ten Bucks"
The Bishop felt a heart attack was coming for sure, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day
the headlines read:"Nun Announces Her Ass Is Wild And Free!"
The Bishop was buried the next day.
Too all my friends out at TEC 2010 in Los Angeles, sorry I am not there, hope you have an awesome time! 🙂
Let me know what cool things come up. Also make sure to harass Dean properly since I won’t be there to do it.
Hi to Christine and Stella and Gil… Doesn’t feel like spring not seeing you guys.

I moved a little faster than I expected, the new version of AdFind, V01.42.00, is now up on the website.

If you are one of the few people who received a beta copy of V01.42.00 you will want to update ASAP as the beta version will expire on May 1.

I have uploaded a new version of lg.exe to the free tools section of the website. http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/lg/
The updates include:
Why the –sidsout switch you ask? Because I have wanted it for some time. Say you migrated some users from Domain1 to Domain2 and maintained their SID in SIDHistory. Then you move the servers over and the servers are using the SIDs from Domain1. Eventually you will want to get rid of the SIDHistory values so in order to do that you have to clean up the old SID references. So now with LG, you can dump the SIDs of all of the security principals in all of the local groups on the members and see if the old domain SID is present in any of the SIDs and if so, clean it up.
I will be releasing a new version of AdFind and AdMod any day now. Just have to take the time up to update the web pages, etc.
