if you ever get me started on “24kgold connectors” you know how much I hate magnolia hi-fi and all the sales people there how they push monster and higher grade connectors.

Here is a podcast that is a full hour of how to cable your AV equipment

 

 

I just found out that quick basic is public domain. I learned to program with qbasic way back in grade school. Time to dig up some of my old programs, but I couldnt afford the version with the compiler.

Something to check out, info stolen from wikipedia

Perhaps the most notable new feature of Windows Server 2008 is a new variation of installation called Server Core. Server Core is a significantly scaled-back installation where no Windows Explorer shell is installed, and all configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command line interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console. Server Core also does not include the .NET Framework, Internet Explorer or many other features not related to core server features. A Server Core machine can be configured for several basic roles: Domain controller/Active Directory Domain Services, ADLDS (ADAM), DNS Server, DHCP Server, file server, print server, Windows Media Server, Terminal Services Easy Print, TS Remote Programs, and TS Gateway, IIS 7 web server and Windows Server Virtualization virtual server. This last role is projected to be available at most 180 days after release of Windows Server 2008.

I always seem to loose these KB’s when I’m building a dev server and need to backup or transfer or export the MS-SQL accounts. Here is the kb for sql 7.x and sql 2005

the wedding day is planed for 6–6–08 at pickering barn

a while back in a post i did about pass-the-hash I posted about a tool msvctl a tool that truesec built to pass the hash like the SMB hack. They said they would never release it, haha looks like its up on the truesec tools page.

here is a page with all the command line options that you can run with outlook.exe I found some handy commands. Like all the clean commands.

I ran across a fun post for a way to disable the reply to all, and forward ability with emails. How many times have you forward out something like “server will be down” and you get 3 reply all’s “looks like kelly is actually working today”, “haha yea kelly must have called the nerd herd”

use VBA to disable the reply to all and forward

Prevent Reply to all and forward with custom form

here is a copy of scotts post (just as a local copy)

 

Here's "How to easily disable Reply To All and Forward in Outlook": Go Tools|Macro|Macros... In the next dialog, type something like NoReplyAll and click Create. At this point, even when running Vista 64, you'll be magically transported back to 1996, completely with owner-draw non-standard gray toolbars and other bits of gray that will leak in from the past. Add these lines to your new subroutine: ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Actions("Reply to All").Enabled = False ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Actions("Forward").Enabled = False Then close this window. At this point you've got a macro that prevents Replying to All and Forwarding (at least within Outlook world. This won't prevent folks running other mail systems from Replying to All, but we're mostly focused on internal work with this tip.) Now, open up a new Outlook Message and right click at the VERY top (assuming Outlook 2007). Click More Commands...now from this dialog select "Macros" from the dropdown, select your new Macro and click Add>>. If you like, click on your Macro on the right and select the Modify button and pick a nice icon for it and a Display Name. I used a "halting hand" icon: Click OK and look at your Quick Access Toolbar...you've got a nice little icon there. Now, CLICK that button then send an email to yourself or a coworker...

the following video games I'm excited for, you see all the nerds waiting for Halo3? well that game is nothing as to the hours of play time that I will get from the following, sorry katie.

seems like the media loves me, my prior stunt of asking my dear Katie to marry me got me into the seattle times, and no all the facts arnt correct before you all comment back. – story as follows.

Rolling party – Seattle Times 10–20–2007

Katie Uhlenkott thought she was the party planner. Her boyfriend, Kelly Keeton, of Kirkland, had casually suggested they go roller skating soon. Wouldn't it be fun, he said, to invite friends and make it a party.

Uhlenkott, of Kent, decided to turn it into a surprise 26th birthday party for Keeton at Skate King in Bellevue.

When Kelly's mother got the call, she played along.

"Kelly invited us a couple of weeks before Katie even planned her surprise party," said Betty Keeton of Snoqualmie. "He planted the idea and let her think she was organizing the party."

When the couple arrived at Skate King, the emcee invited them to the center of the rink. There, in front of about 30 friends and relatives, Uhlenkott realized she'd been set up. That's when Keeton proposed.

The couple plan to marry next year.
