Impromptu Hard Drive Refresh - Thanks Acronis

I fix other people's computers and IT problems all day, so the last thing I really feel like doing is fixing my own computer problems at home. My personal workstation decided to blue screen earlier in the evening which was nice. It was one of those blue Read More...

New Look for the Site

After a couple hours of customization, I activated a new theme for the BrianDesmond.com site. The old look was the same theme I had when I started a blog on weblogs.asp.net in 2003. I felt like it was kind of depressing to look at the old colors - there Read More...

Broken Links

If you find any broken links here, send me an email or leave a comment. I think I caught them all, but the manner in which the software this site runs on makes URLs is rather complex and I don't really understand the config files, so it's pretty entirely Read More...

Site Fixed

I had some issues with the server this site is hosted on the last week of May/first week of June. Six weeks later I've finally gotten everything all fixed. I took the downtime as an oppurtunity to upgrade the software that runs this site and think Read More...

Site Move/Upgrade

I decided to get a box, actually a virtual server over at www.bitshop.com . I'm in the process of getting that all squared away and working, and then I'm going to swing this site over, and hopefully in the process upgrade the blog software and get rid Read More...

Weekend Fun

I had some fun out in Denver this past weekend. Usually I don't do much in the way of “network” stuff. I generally ride on the network - AD and Exchange being what I do for the most part, I don't have to worry about the routers and switches Read More...

Back!

My server amchine that I ran this site off of from the house lost its motherboard a few weeks ago. I've been so swamped I still haven't fixed it. To make things easier, I've moved the site off to a shared host instead. Hopefully will have some time to Read More...

Getting Back in the Swing of Things

I need to get back in the swing of things with this site. I haven't had any sort of meaninful content refresh in perhaps three or four months. So, I've got some ideas about stuff to write - I'm going to try and start putting stuff up here every few days Read More...

Nice Weather!

This weekend has been the first couple of nice days in several weeks. It's been a very very rainy May. At the moment, I'm laying in the hammock in my backyard writing code in the afternoon sun. The frame & keys on my Acer laptop is black, and the Read More...

"Update your blog, it's been a month"

That's what I'm told, and that's what the frontpage says too. I haven't really thought about interesting blog topics lately. I've been more focused on finishing this month, which basically means the end of school for the year. Then, I need to focus on Read More...

Self Improvement with Outlook

Well, I'm trying some of that crazy self-help medicine with all this David Allen hype. I use the red flags in Outlook 2003 because they're easy to tag messages with. I'm not the sort that likes a clean Inbox - having all my email where I can find it is Read More...
