Posts Tagged ‘Miscellaneous’Windows7 Boots to Black?November 11, 2008 /
 1 CommentI recently took the plunge and decided to load Windows7 (pre-beta 6801) on my laptop. While I have been very satisfied with the performance and how stable it appears to be, it is not without its quirks. The other day I restarted my machine, and before it got to the splash screen where it normally does the “ta-da” and displays the Windows Logo (immediately before ctrl+alt+delete screen) all I got was a black screen and a mouse. I tried all sorts of keystrokes and mouse movements, but I could not get the computer to respond. I tried “sleeping” the computer and [...] read more
Downloading Team Explorer 2005/2008September 17, 2008 /
No CommentWhile at Microsoft today, I was talking with a fellow developer who was complaining that they couldn’t download Team Explorer 2005 from MSDN, even as a VSTS subscriber. They wanted v2005 because, although they had Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2008, they were still using Visual Studio 2005. As it turns out, this isn’t this isn’t quite true. If you download Team Foundation Server 2005 (either Trial or Workgroup editions), there is a TFC directory on the ISO file for the Team Explorer install. However, there is a better solution and it doesn’t even require logging on to MSDN. It turns out [...] read more
Turning Off IE Enhanced Security from the Command LineSeptember 12, 2008 /
1 CommentFor the most part I have much of the install for Windows 2008 operating system and programs automated (unattended). However, one thing that I found a little more difficult to find was a command line way to turn off IE’s Enhanced Security (manually turned off from Server Manager -> Configure IE ESC. I found an unattended method and created a batch file: :: Backup registry keys REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{A509B1A7-37EF-4b3f-8CFC-4F3A74704073}” /v “IsInstalled” /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
IntroductionAugust 7, 2007 /
No CommentGreetings and welcome to my BLOG. I have been meaning to begin BLOGging for several months now. Well, actually going on a year I suppose. I guess I felt that I really didn’t have anything too terribly important to say. Not that I think that now, but that I have recently run across a few items that I found interesting. I guess I just needed something to get me started. Hopefully, I will have something that will benefit someone, somewhere. A Little History
Skrbl – The Ultimate in Real Time Electronic WhiteboardingApril 10, 2007 /
3 CommentsI came across this some time ago and immediately took a fancy. Tonight I needed it again for some collaboration and again I was amazed. The figure below is my real-time collaboration with Prashant tonight.
Multiple users can “collaborate” by posting and editing content in real time onto the whiteboard. What is most incredible about it is the fact that there is no install – none! Nada… it appears to use Java Script entirely. The difference between collaborating with this versus collaborating with Word is amazing. With MS Word, read more
CoolMonOctober 11, 2006 /
4 CommentsCheck out CoolMon as a replacement for BGInfo from sysinternals. The difference being that CoolMon updates dynamically. For example, you can watch the CPU change within the CoolMon window on the desktop.
FolderShare Synchronization with Existing FoldersOctober 6, 2006 /
2 CommentsFolderShare is a fantastic way to keep files synchronized between computers. At times, however, I wanted to start using FolderShare for folders that already existed on both computers and possibly have conflicting changes. What happens in this scenario? To find out I created folders on each computer with the following files: Computer A Computer A only.txt conflict.txt same.txt The content in conflict.txt was different on each computer. Turning on FolderShare to synchronize these two folders produced the following result: Computer A Computer A only.txt Computer B only.txt conflict.txt conflict-<AccountName> on <ComputerName>.txt same.txt <AccountName> and <ComputerName> correspond to the FolderShare account name and the computer [...] read more
Using CallWave for Cell Phone Call Notification and Voice Mail via EmailOctober 1, 2006 /
2 CommentsFor a couple months now I have been using CallWave Mobile and really liking it. Following the instructions, I changed my cell phone to forward all calls destined for voice mail to instead go to CallWave. CallWave then became my voice mail and forwarded all messages into my email for me to listen to. I maintained the option to call into CallWave to retrieve my messages, but also had them configured to arrive via email. In addition, with CallWave I installed an application onto my computer so that when someone called my cell phone, a notification appeared on my computer. Using Google as Your Domains Email Server (with No More Send on Behalf Of)September 29, 2006 /
8 CommentsThere are several reviews (ITNews, CRN, and TechWeb) of Microsoft’s Office Live Basics versus Google Apps for Your Domain. My key problem with Microsoft Office Live Basics was the requirement to switch my domain to Melbourne IT as the registrar and to switch my DNS server, perhaps in a way that I had less control. (The restriction to 5 emails addresses or $30 per month were not exactly appealing either.) However, switching to Google Apps was far less invasive. I could just change my MX record and immediately be up and live with GMail Web [...] read more
VMWare Workstation 5.5 will Run Virtual PC/Server MachinesAugust 19, 2005 /
No CommentCurrently in beta, VMWare Workstation 5.5 makes upgrading from Virtual PC/Server even easier: “You can now directly open third-party virtual machines, including Microsoft VPC and Virtual Server, without first converting them. From the Open dialog in both Workstation and Player interfaces, you can select the appropriate file type to open third party virtual machines. Any changes you make to the virtual machine are then saved in VMware format.” Furthermore, Workstation 5.5 supports both 64-bit host and 64-bit guest operating systems. Sweet! UPDATE – September 3, 2005 For access to [...] read more
