Ok, so today was at Starbucks, and wanted to move on down the road, so I wanted to hibernate. To no avail, no option to hibernate my laptop in the shutdown area. Just sleep, shutdown, restart.
After 10 minutes of F’n around, I figured it out. Turn off “Allow Hybrid Sleep” in the advanced power settings [...]

Since I am getting my Internet today, this probably isn’t such a big deal, but for the past few days I have been “borrowing” the coffee shop’s wifi below my apt. Comes on in the morning, shuts off at night. But, there are like 20 wifi points in the list to connect to. I hate [...]

I just got my new laptop, and I am installing Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Ran into a snag, that took me a little bit to find the answer.
First, SQL Server 2005 setup is just ghetto. There are two setups, “server” and “tools” and sometimes it just doesn’t work right. Anyways, only SQL [...]

So, tonight I was cleaning up my hard drive, and windows.old folder from the Vista upgrade was sitting there, 25 GB. So I decide to delete, and it removes everything but one file. The file won’t delete because it says the path is too long. I cant rename it or move it because the path [...]

I just installed Microsoft Vista Ultimate. This is my first post from Vista! Its pretty sweet so far, the glass theme is nice, I’m just getting everything installed, adding music to my library, etc. Housekeeping :)
I installed IIS, so I’ll have to check that out as well. Hopefully everything I use works. What a great [...]

So, a while back I installed Microsoft Vista Beta2 on my Dell machine. Seems that it must have overwritten the master boot record (MBR). I wanted to revert back to Windows XP Media Center Edition that came on my box, so I fired it up, and hit F12 to goto the boot selection. Where is [...]

Well, tonight I took the plunge and installed Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 on my Dell PC at home. I am liking it so far. Alot of security alerts. Its always nice to start digging into the new technology as soon as you can. I have tried a few programs and found they don’t work, [...]
