bye, bye physical keyboard, Hello virtual on my Torch 9860

2012-01-31T13:41:00.000-05:00

Time for a change, dropped my 9810 from 2 meters (about 7 feet) off the ground and the screen smashed. So the only choice for me is BlackBerry for Push email and network access to my LAN built in with BES. There is no substitute, I love security and can be with out it. Too many trojans and malware present on other platforms. I have to think about my future and BlackBerry does it well if not the best of any mobile platform out there. Maybe tehre are some apps that are not on it, who cares when I have a PlayBook to do the rest of it. Soon Android apps will come to PlayBook and I will more apps than I will ever need. The native apps work so much better, time will tell next month when OS 2 is released.

This will be fun to get used to, I will miss being on the slider. I miss my Bold 9700 days too. Either way its going to be a fun filled day.

Excel 2003 crashes when copy/paste in Windows 7 32 bit Dell E6410

2010-12-02T12:34:00.000-05:00

Copy a cell would crash Excel 2003 and some times when pasting it would crash too.

Found the problem with Excel 2003, it is related to bluetooth though, o_0

then I went in ==> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins
and there was an entry for BtOfficeAddin.BtOfficeintergration.1
And change the LoadBehavior key from 3 to 0 and all is working well now.

Why my train avatar was chosen

2010-05-05T13:58:00.001-04:00

Funny you should ask.

When I joined up on a forum a few years ago and I wanted an avatar that was unique and reflected something that means a bit to me. I have a video game that I have enjoyed for over 10 years now and have enjoyed countless hours with friends and family with it. In one part of the gamethere is a train going by. So I choose that for an avatar and never decided on anything else since many notice it on other forums.

My dad has been into trains long before I was born and I used to get into trouble alot for touching them. I do own a G scale set (1/24 scale) now that my dad gave to me. My 5 year old son and I enjoy take out the set on rainy days and the layout is about 12 x 17 feet going around the edge or the area rug in my living room.

Been a while since my last post. Summer was fun. Fall was good. Now winter is here.
The snow thrower is running. Kids getting big. House has many repairs done due to hail storm. Bought a new truck since the frame on the old one has rotted out. Made the upgrade to windows 7 and still trying to get a few programs to work. Been splitting lots of wood and getting more logs. I have been pretty busy with all this stuff.

2009-10-16T12:15:00.002-04:00

No real good news. Still taking thing as they come. Started to snow today. Time to get the tractor running well for some more snow fun

Symantec testing on their new website

2009-02-19T13:27:00.001-05:00

Logged in as a special user and looked at the profile. FOund this in the BIO

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

RANTS

2009-01-22T17:40:00.000-05:00

I am very tired of the newbs on the web. No one wants to read the manual anymore, RTFM! They dont like FAQ's, Stickies, or even the little hints. What has gone wrong with the NET. Are we not teaching this new technology fast enough? Is it parental upbringing? Stupidity?

Every day I help people on forums, few say thanks, some have become friends, but many will never post that it worked. Are we to fast paced in this day and age to say it. How many times are people using titles on threads with bad descriptions and not posting enough info to even help themselves?

Well enough of my little rant. Time for a well deserved beer.

2009-01-22T17:24:00.000-05:00

Hey fellow netizens. Decided to write my own blog for you all to enjoy.

Start out with a PC bussiness back in 95 part time, but the big job had me travel to much. Then started out in 2001 in IT with my new company and boy has technology changed. I do it all. Servers, PCs, Network, Firewalls, and now I blog.

Here are some sites that I browse on most days.
