28 hours without any sleep and still counting.... Thousands of pissed off users. Not a great day in my world. I suppose I should be content that everything that I was responsible for worked fine but I hate being associated with a project that fails so...

I must admit that I listen to Fox News on the radio a fair bit if only to get a good laugh. I'm always left wondering if people like O'Reilly and (insa-)Hannity actually believe what they are saying or just know that Rush Limbaugh got rich being an inflammatory...

Warning, rant time! I went back to Kansas over the weekend to see my family (hadn't been back in 5-6 months) and one of the things I needed to squeeze in was fixing my dad's computer that I built for him a while back. He thought the new hard drive was...

Just saw this post ... I spent 9 months down in Oz and it has to be one of the deadliest placest on the planet. You'd hear stories all the time of people getting killed by saltwater crocs, sharks, jellyfish, etc. On the land, not much safer. I may have...

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Creative Labs Zen Vision:M . I haven't gotten to use it much yet but it seems great so far. The video is really crisp and the colors are vibrant. I went to Circuit City to buy it but the price buying it at the...

Wow! I never expected this . I've kind of been following what has been going on with their discussions on redefining what is and isn't a planet. But, it seemed that just about every option that they were considering was going to increase the number of...

It isn't much of a surprise but apparently WinFS is pretty much being scrapped . You can just read through all of the comments to see how I feel. It has been years since this was promised to us and I think it is one of the truly innovative things that...

This is total crap . Once again they give themselves a raise...and somehow they find a way to justify keeping the minimum wage where it is. During my time in other countries it was interesting to see how they handled the minimum wage. Both Australia and...

I don't game as much as I did 10 years ago but every once in a while I catch the gaming bug. I was hooked on World of Warcraft for a while but eventually got bored once I had a couple of alts up to level 60.. Recently, I've been going old-school for my...

I've been working on a directory cleanup project to prepare for a metadirectory implementation for the last few months. What a pain in the a$$... Cleaning up AD and the LDAP directory used for external authentication has been a breeze because we can just...

Those cheap bastards! I filled out some stupid survey a while back on their site that promised a free USB drive. I guess there must've been some size-1 font legal disclaimers that I didn't see because I just got the following in my e-mail: Thank you for...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5012638.stm At only US$6 billion, this is a bargain. I'd love to see them throw ten times as much money at something like this. Maybe we could take that $5.9 billion worth of subsidies that our government is giving...

I ran across a nice forum/article on the art of plagiarism in blogging. I *hate* copy/paste blogs. I don't even mind if people have large contents of material pasted in their blog as long as they at least have some useful comments to make on the subject...

I've had nothing but problems since moving to the latest beta. I had issues with the older beta versions but nothing as bad as this. My browser hangs all the time and a bunch of websites (most notibly gmail) act really, really weird--to the point where...

More lessons learned from my account cleanup efforts... Here is a function you can use to do bitwise comparisons. This is a function I am using in MSAccess for a couple of things to help write queries against AD. Function SQL_And(Num1 As Long, Num2 As...

I'm doing some account cleanup in a number of directories to prepare for a metadirectory implementation. AD has been as painful as anything to work with. Here's some code that you can use to convert the UTC time that AD likes to use to something a bit...

Interesting article on ferroelectric based storage . I'm sure this will be another one of those things like holographic memory that I remember reading about 10 years ago that was supposed to accomplish the pretty much the same thing.... but it will certainly...

Well, my Jayhawks managed to let me down again. I'm almost longing for the heartache of all of those Final Four losses (as brutal as they were). Getting booted out of the tourney in the first round 2 years in a row sucks. Especially since they just blew...

I'm a bit slow on this one but I just found out Isaac Hayes is leaving South Park. Apparently he got pissed off that they made fun of Scientology. I guess it was ok when they made fun of Muslims, Christians, Mormons, and every other belief on the planet...

I've moved a number of my old blogposts and articles from my old blog on myITforum and I am already getting a ton of hits. I checked the referrals and most of them are coming from google searches (no real surprise there). I must say that I was surprised...

Well, I didn't think it would happen after their 3-4 start but my KU Jayhawks are in the Top 25 for the first time this year. They have rattled off 7 straght wins (including a fantastic come-from-behind win against Oklahoma) and are 14-2 after their rough...

I found this article on Betanews about IM integration with Gmail but I haven't been able to actually find the download yet. It sounds like it will operate 100% via the web so nothing to install locally. It almost sounds like this adds Google Talk functionality...

We've run into a few applications that wouldn't install properly via SMS if a non-admin was logged onto the system when the package got deployed. If an administrator was logged on or if no one was logged on at all everything worked great. This seemed...
