One of my minor hobbies is tracking the bizarre things that Google co-founders Page and Brin do. My favorite so far was when Eric Schmidt had to referee a fight between the two... over whether they would be putting hammocks or beds in the Google corporate jet (I wonder if he had to settle a "PS3 vs. Wii" arguement too). Today, Larry Page enter Dan "DaVinci Code" Brown territory, with accusations that "white space" tests were deliberately rigged. I can only laugh. J.Ja Read More »

Today I set about installing Exchange 2007 in our organization. As a little bit of background, we had initially had a windows 2003 SBS Server in place, which means that our Active Directory had the Exchange changes made to it. When we moved off of that system, I manually uninstalled Exchange before wiping the server, but in my ignorance I did not remove Exchange from Active Directory. Today, I found a way to do that, despite errors from trying "update /removeOrg" in the Exchange SP2 system. Read More »

If you have an ISA Server between a client and a Polycom VTC unit (video teleconference), you may have some problems using some features in the Web-based administration system. For example, the dropdowns in the "Directory" may be blank. After some time on the phone with Polycom today, we found a fix. Read More »

I started off as the proud new owner of a brand new Sony VGN-FW140E notebook with the latest processor and chipset, but happiness turned to severe disappointment as the flaws rolled in one after another. The notebook looks deceptively sleek and cool when it's actually quite bulky with a 16.4" LCD display, but that's not one of the many reasons it failed. Read More »

Via Dailytech, you can now get an OCZ 32GB SATA II Solid State drive now only $99 after rebate! It has some impressive performance specs on throughput and IO speeds. While the random write IOPS metric isn't as impressive, it still beats the pants off normal hard drives. Read More »

A number of years ago, I ordered something from Newegg, at the suggestion of a friend. I found their Web site to be a joy to use, their prices excellent, their customer service good, and their order process to be painless and fast. Over the last few months, not only has Newegg dropped the ball on me a number of times, but I'm now forced to reconsider them as a vendor completely. (continued) Read More »

As a follow up to the past problems I've been having with the XFX nForce 630i model MG-630i-7159, I upgraded the BIOS on the recommendation of Adrian. It was a good recommendation and I should have remembered to try updating the BIOS to see if these problems went away, but unfortunately I have to report that it didn't work. Not only did it not work, I had to jump through a lot of hoops to install the BIOS update which is a procedure I would NEVER expect any normal person to put up with. Read More »
