Do you want to build a snow man?

 Do you want to build a snow man? 12-19-2020

Make sure you buy latex paint and here is why.

Daughter is having fun. Hats are painted. She goes to the sink that's full of dishes and starts to rinse the brush by bare hands like she always does, only not much paint is being removed at all and her hands look like she was shoveling coal all day in a few quick rubs.

PSA

Always keep mineral spirits in the house! (Reminder)

It is oil based paint!!!

F bombs away??????

Hmmm.

Oh wait.

I know what might work......

Off to the garage where I fix many things.

PBlaster? Maybe to tough for her skin.

Paint stripper??? Nope, that shit burns.

Gasoline? Lol no. Boom goes the house.

Carborater Cleaner to the rescue!!!

It off my finger!!!

It is working. Yay!!!

Oops. Should have used it out side. Damn. It was cold out and cold carb cleaner would make frostbite fast.

Ok so spray a lil on a towel.  Good idea!!!

It's coming off her hands. She is smiling. Xmas is saved. No more coal mining daughter. Was cute though.

All cleaned up.

Now my house smells like a meth lab. No I am Not shaving my head!!! Could make my daughter happy but not this year. No hair cuts in 2020!!!

Time to open the windows and it's freezing out.

Best part of all. I am smiling and laughing during the whole thing. Dishes can be washed. Paint can be scraped or worn off in a few weeks.  That mark might on the wall might need paint. Lol.

Successful craft night ending. Priceless.

Remember to buy latex paint!!! Yes I am fuming over  it now. Lol.

email stuck in outbox in Outlook

I have come across this issue for years in Outlook 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010 when an email can not be sent no matter if you try to hit send receive, reboot, etc. its not too big and email address are ok yet it is stuck in the outbox.

easy fix
Turn off/unplug your network connection and once Outlook is offline (sometimes needs to close outlook and or reboot the PC) then go to your Outlook outbox and delete the item. Connect to your network again. Go to your deleted folder and open up the messages you deleted and resend it.

New BlackBerry Z30 amplifies the BlackBerry 10 experience



The BlackBerry Z30 amplifies the BlackBerry 10 experience with:

Bigger and Better Display 
  • All of the great BlackBerry 10 experiences come to life on a large, 5” display that excels at sharp text, beautiful saturation and deep contrast.
  • Vibrant colors and the incredible detail
  • Z30 uses a super AMOLED display that is able to produce sharper details and fuller than many other OLED displays because of the way the pixels are arranged.
  • Quad core graphics mean web pages are lighting fast.
  • Again look at how pin sharp the black text is on the white background.

Longer battery life
  • Z30 has been designed to keep customers with intense needs moving all day with 25 hours of battery life. Not only have we put in a massive 2880 mAh battery but we’ve been able to achieve better power efficiency by optimizing the UI, processor and antenna. No need for a removable battery!
  • Compared to the BlackBerry Z10, Z30 will offer up to 15 more hours of use.
  • At 2880 mAh the Z30 has the biggest battery that we've ever put in a BlackBerry - this is achievable due to the battery being spread out across the back of the phone.  That is why the battery is sealed.

Better Connectivity: BlackBerry Antennae Technology
  • The BlackBerry Paratek Antenna exclusive to Z30 dynamically tunes itself to its environment to optimize upload and download speeds and ensure fewer dropped calls even in areas with weak coverage, like a basement for example.

Better Sound
  • Z30 also boasts an impressive pair of stereo speakers (2,  1-watt speakers)that immerse you in sound whether you’re watching a video, listening to music or playing a game
    • Play a pre-loaded movie or song and listen to the vibrant sound / watch the large screen

What is different about the Z30 vs. Z10?

  • Better and Bigger Display
    • 37% more screen space
  • Faster and more powerful
    • Quad core graphics make transitions incredibly fluid
  • Better Connectivity
    • Antenna dynamically tunes itself to its environment and delivers stronger connectivity and faster data in weak coverage areas
  • Better Battery Life
    • 90%more battery than iPhone 5, 10% bigger than Galaxy S4
    • 25 hours mixed use
  • Better Sound
    • BlackBerry Natural Sound Technology to make BBM Voice and Video calls clear
    • Dual 1 watt speakers for fuller richer and clearer sound

IMCEAEX in an email address?

IMCEAEX-_O=DOMAIN_OU=EXCHANGE+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=

So I saw this address today when replying to an email after changing a users Primary email address, alias, SPN. User account was being taken over by a new person in this special position.

Odd as it never happened before but after some digging around its because we migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2010 and the user legacy name in AD was using the old mail server address for some odd reason. I will have to figure out why later on.

So I copied the legacy name attribute in AD Users and Computers from a new working user and changed the name on the end to match the special user and now emails can be sent with the new email address.

BES 10 common questions a KnottyRope Tip

Here are some answers to the most common questions ask about BES 10

BES 10 SRP is free and not a temp SRP, you only need to Buy CALs for it at about $60.00 USD per year per user unless you have a large users base to get a volume discount.

You can get BES 5 for free if you are on 4.x. no upgrade cost for going to BES 10.

BES 10.1 will install on your BES 5 SP4 server if you have enough resources for it or you can install it on a diff VM or server. BES 10 is KNOT an upgrade. You'll require BOTH your BES 5 SP4 , and BES10, to support the both old Java and new QNX devices.

BES 10 CALs are linked to your SRP. There are serveral types of CALs

BDS for BB10 and Playbook
UDS For IOS and Addroid
EMM for non Balance corporate whih requres a special data plan as well.

BES 10.1 requires you to trade up your existing BES 10 or Fusion CALs. nt fun but at least its still free to upgrade.

If you had Full BES before you can convert your CALs for free to PERMANANT CALs that wont expire. you have until end of year 2013 to upgrade them. You can start trading up CALs now, Remember this is not for BES Express 5, SBE or free Pro CALs http://blackberry.com/licensetradeup





Installation tips
yes you can use your existing BESAdmin account and it does not require all the permission of the past. It actually uses the users AD credentials.

You will need a Seperate SQL database for BES 10 and you can use the same SQL server for it just name it the default name of BDSMgmt

EAS does not need to be open to internet for BDS, but for now it is needed for UDS until next update comes this summer.

SRP and CAL info when installing can be fun since the naming is differnet in the email and the docs.

Most people forget to make a Email profile and assign it to a new user. So they get actiated but no email. Add email profile in BAS by going to: Blackberry Solution Management, Profiles, Create an email profile with your mail server details.

Cant activate device? Did you try to put in your SRP for server address? if it works after then you can have BES associate your domain to your SRP. Set it at Register activation information with BlackBerry Infrastructure in BAS under Devices, Wireless activations, Device activation settings.
