TEST Recently I had a customer call me about a Windows 2003 Small Business Server that they did not have any administrator account passwords for. When I got a chance to look at the machine, I discovered not only is the bios password protected, but the password for the local computer account and the domain [...]
Read MoreI received an email from a colleague today that once again brought the potential danger of email communication and the widespread availability of information front-and-center. I consider this person to be reasonably intelligent, like most of the people I receive these sorts of emails from. I am never sure what the immediate thought is – [...]
Read MoreFall back is a great time of year. It gets dark sooner, cooler weather has set in and everyone is looking forward to the holiday season. Since we have to go around the house changing clocks anyway, the International Association of Fire Chiefs promotes it’s “Change your clock, change your battery” campaign. You can find [...]
Read MoreIf you are like many folks, procrastinating in your holiday shopping is as much of a tradition as pumpkin pie or a tree. In the past, we had to fight for parking, bundle-up and hope the store we chose first had almost everything we needed. Thankfully, most of us no longer live in that world. [...]
Read MoreEveryone talks about our fast-paced lives and how it’s becoming increasingly hard to make time for things. I have a few things to say about that, but for the purposes of this post, let’s address one of the reasons it’s hard to ‘make time’ for things – you have to work with someone else’s schedule. [...]
Read MoreWhen it seems the whole world has gone tech-crazy. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Unless your cellphone antenna is held on by scotch tape or your TV picture is somehow compromised, it’s a good bet you don’t really need a change. Unlike upgrades of old, like moving from VCR tapes to DVD’s, for [...]
Read MoreI received quite a few comments about my first post regarding preparing for our favorite non-season, and several requests for more information. Since none of you were terribly specific, I had to go out on a limb and guess – what else can I cover? And then, thanks in part to someone in a networking [...]
Read MoreEcolife Apparel contracted with iPhactory and created an iPhone app that will do a lot more good than most. Called iPhorest, the app lets you plant a virtual tree. Peaceful, right? The good news is, for every virtual tree you plant, The Conservation Fund will plant a real one. Even better – they are using [...]
Read MoreNo, I’m not talking about getting ADHD from video games or needing glasses from over-exposure to bright or flickering monitors. I’m talking about being a good old-fashioned klutz. Now, I have no room to talk because I run into the corners of walls and trip over rugs! But, that’s another story. For most of us, [...]
Read MoreWe tend to be a little complacent around here when we start seeing the tracking maps hit the stores and the sales on batteries, radios, water and other supplies grace our favorite stores’ circular. Florida as a whole can go for several years without having an actual named storm make landfall, and for us here [...]
Read MoreFrom the short-lived like 8-tracks and Laserdisc, to what we thought would be old standby’s forever like VHS and CD, we’ve all been down the road of upgrade-and-replace sometimes several-times over. Being in my thirties, I’ve had to upgrade my records to cassette tapes, and then to CD’s and then to MP3’s. My movies have [...]
