Information about joeware mixed with wild and crazy opinions...
A friend sent this link to me… Could be useful if you are doing web dev work…

In a previous blog entry (http://blog.joeware.net/2009/12/05/1826/) I mentioned a need for some software for the Storm Chasers… A person (name withheld to protect the guilty) sent me a nice informative email on some of this stuff and I wanted to share parts of it… Note I did ask for permission first…
“Most chasers and spotters, including myself, use a product called GRLevel3 (http://grlevelx.com/grlevel3/) which is a Windows-based NEXRAD radar client. It pulls super-clear radar images in real-time from anywhere in the USA. Along with that, we also use a product from the SpotterNetwork (http://www.spotternetwork.org/feeds.php) which aggregates the real-time location information on trained spotters and chasers, all part of the network, which then populates this data into the GRLEvel3 product. Since it also includes spotter callsigns, we’re able to identify each other and where we’re at in real-time. The SpotterNetwork also includes feeds for Google Earth that could easily be pulled in, but does not have flexible radar information. The only limitation that I see would be being able to relay information about washed out roads and bridges, damage from tornadoes, etc.”
I was also told to check out a website called http://www.stormreportmap.com which aggregates hail, wind and tornado reports from spotters, EMS services, and others — in real time. I am a geek, while this isn’t my area of expertise or even a hobby area, it is still terribly cool to me…
Enjoy!

I regularly get asked about people adding CNAMEs to DNS to set up an alias for a Windows machine. Like maybe the machine name is server123site5 and they want to call it oldserver1. They do that and all of a sudden when they try to use it the connection attempt results in a “duplicate name exists on the network” error.
Not going to spend the time explaining why this happens other than it is a name validation in the SMB 1.0 handshake but the solution is to use either the DisableStrictNameChecking or OptionalNames registry keys under HKLM\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281308/en-us for more info.
Note that Windows 2008 and newer Server OSes and Windows Vista and newer Client OSes can use SMB 2.0 which doesn’t have this issue.

I haven’t tried this but think I will start recommending it to any and everyone that says their PC is taking forever to start up. Every time I look at those machines they tend to have a bazillion apps that start on logon.

I wonder how much we pay to see our own feeds? I think some military supplier owes us some cash back…

Funny article. I actually find my iPhone to be the most useful phone I have had. But then I mostly use it for the apps. I rarely talk to anyone on the phone (I used 2 minutes on it last month) and I don’t text at all. Period. None. Mostly it is used for Google Maps, weather, web surfing when trying to locate a store or product I am looking for, and the timer/alarm/stop watch functionality.
In 1944 the Battle of the Bulge began… Bloodiest set battles of World War II for American Forces but the end was in sight for the Nazi war machine.
Ten years ago today, Windows 2000 and hence Active Directory were released to manufacturing!!!
Today Active Directory is the de facto LDAP directory and the de facto Kerberos implementation… I.E. There are more AD LDAP directories and more AD Kerberos environments out there than any other LDAP directory and Kerberos implementations.
