Catching the domain spam…

Date July 21, 2008

I host a domain for a friend at work, trusoldiers.net. I think I’ve been hosting it for nearly 3 years now. I recently got an interesting email regarding trusoldiers.com, so asked him about it…

Pasta Carbonara

Date July 20, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve had this dish. My mum found it in a book titled “The Cost Conscious Cook Book” (I cannot find it on Amazon, otherwise I’d link to it). It’s a really simple dish, but rather tasty…

Things to wreck your weekend…

Date July 14, 2008

I’ve discovered that there are always lots of random things that can wreck a good weekend… For example, getting alarms, and emails at 0700 on a Sunday morning reporting possible power issues, then more alarms at 0900 confirming a power outage.

Handy Dandy Photography Videos

Date June 26, 2008

If you’re new to lighting, studio or not, Strobist rocks. Recently I’ve discovered a new resource. ProPhotoLife is another blog that has a lot of studio based walk throughs, giving examples of setups, lighting guides, and all kinds of cool stuff. The nifty thing is how he’s doing some of it. See if you can spot what he’s using for light stands in some of the videos.

Scripting Dial-In removal

Date June 25, 2008

For an upcoming project, we started moving an external vendor off of a Microsoft PPTP VPN tunnel (per user client), to a fixed VPN tunnel using IPSEC, and handled at the gateway. During this migration, it was decided to remove access to the PPTP tunnel to ensure the vendor was using the proper tunnel. This required changing the setting for 20 users…

Veritas DLO, and TASKPANE errors

Date June 19, 2008

We deployed Veritas’ DLO for a manager a few months ago after a laptop rebuild. Mostly because he spent several hours a week making regular backups of his documents folder. A pointless exercise when we have the software to handle backups for him.

Tracking things I want to write about…

Date June 18, 2008

So, I mentioned in my post Blah that I had a few things to write about. Unfortunately I’ve been so busy, they keep slipping my mind (as also mentioned). So I figured the best way to remember what to write about, is to start a post, write a quick subject, and paste any related links, just as a “post-it” so to speak. So I quickly documented several posts, and queued them up for when I have a few minutes to post them… Simple, and effective.

Blah

Date June 18, 2008

I’ve been awful about actually posting something on here. It’s not that I’ve not had stuff to post, as I have some MS Office stuff I wanted to document, and some other bits and pieces too, I’ve just been… swamped. I’ll see what I can get scribbled out. I should probably jot down somewhere want I want to write about, I keep thinking of stuff, and they get bumped out of my head by “stuff”.

They’re good…

Date May 12, 2008

No, they’re bad… Now they’re good again…

I am of course talking about eggs. And now I turn you over to Lewis Black.

Rise and Fall of procrastination

Date April 29, 2008

I’ve been stuck in a rut again, not sure why.
