Booting from USB Stick
Posted on August 25, 2008, by Todd, under Uncategorized.
As you know from my last post, I was working last week on updating my Windows XP images. I just saw a great post from Michael Kleef’s Blog on how to boot from USB. This is handy if you have some XP images but don’t have an environment where you can boot from the network, which for me would be some of the small branch libraries I work in.

On vacation this week cranking this out on the blackberry in my tent out at the lake. I've managed to not think about work too often. We spent a few days touring and camping for a few now! but I'll be back home on the weekend. I plan to study and clean up a little around the house.

Trick or Treat!

This is no trick and most likely not a treat for partners. Microsoft is making partners who subscribe to the Microsoft action pack take a Microsoft E-Learning course and pass its corresponding assessment test.

Do You Know What Server You Are Connected To?
Posted on October 30, 2006, by Todd, under Uncategorized.
I have half a dozen servers in our server room, a small number compared to some places I’ve seen. Sometimes when I am working on a few, switching back and forth, I have to stop and think what server I am connected to. I knew there was tools out there that would tell you what the server name is and put it on the desktop. I found one today for free from the SysInternal guys. The program is called Bginfo and it is located here.

I was having a problem up in one of the remote branches. They use Satellite to connect up to the Internet and then terminal session to use the main application. Problem was we kept getting booted out of the terminal session when connected via the satellite. I’d set them up on dial up and away they go. I knew something had to be not quite right here, the dish is 512k, the phone line is 56k. I know dish has latency issues, but this was more of a freeze right up then just delay.
