LOL…  I just have to say this was quite an amusing post, and well to the point of trying to get people to send their errors/usage info to Microsoft. Unfortunately I do know a lot of people who are really scared of sending information about themselves, no matter how innocent it is, to anyone at some big company in "corporate…

Well, after a repair install and replacing the driver files to no avail, we just backed up all the data and put Vista on that box. Now off to Alan’s LAN party…  hehehe

Ever had one of those days where you updated a RAID driver for your brand new D975XBX board and rebooted to find a nice blue screen waiting for you…?  Well, I did. Not on my machine, thank goodness, but on a dear friend of mine’s box. Gotta love it when Intel updates you into oblivion.  hehehe  Still working on it…

I stumbled upon this thing today. If it works as advertised it should be a great little tool to help unclog all those $400 dell junk boxes. Web Site for the PC De-Crapifier

Nate, Skip, Brian, Alan, Tim and I went to the roadshow today. It was a long long day (4am-11pm from home to there and back again). I won a pair of Intel Xeon 5050 cpu’s!  We also picked up a lot of other useful information and swag. gotta love tradeshows.  🙂

Looks like mozy was trying to backup my registry file while onecare tried to scan it and poof…  windows couldn’t access it when i logged in……

Well, after a little while running Vista I’ve had a weird thing happen. My user profile fails to load on a fairly new install… Luckily I do most of my work in a VPC image or I’d have been rebuilding my stuff for a week. As it is I’m not sure exactly what the cause is but the event log…

well, due to the crummy weather we skipped the last meeting of dotnetusers…  we wanted to come… honest…  anyway, we’ll be at some of the association’s meetings in future anyway. hope it was a good send off…

I just got some new gadgets yesterday…  A Wacom Graphire 6×8 Bluetooth pen tablet and a Bluetooth USB adapter. A little while ago I also got a Digital Persona fingerprint reader… I’m having fun playing with Illustrator for lack of anything better to do on a Saturday night. We also hired Alan a little while ago. Things are getting interesting…

LOL…  well, don’t quit your day jobs guys, but this was good for a chuckle anyway…  Link to Interface Technical Training :: DLL Hell Song Page
