I’m a really big fan of micro-blogging services for a couple reasons one I hate writing long blog imagepostings and the other is just the simplicity of the technology I can just post to it with one hand while driving or while eating, or sitting in a meeting. Sinceimage I begin twittering just about three months ago I’ve posted over 600 updates. Everything from my daily status to just random questions, but hey so check out my stats below of my usage patterns.

Changing the default My documents

April 13th, 2009

imageI’m one of those weird people who use multiple computers each day to get work things done. When I’m in the office I use my desktop PC and then at home I use my work laptop, prior to last year  accessing my work files on my Desktop from work was nearly impossible. An then everyone got their own personal network share about year. Since then I’ve been saving all my files to my share and accessing them their over our corp. vpn to get to them. Well image each time when I start a new file I had to change my saving location from my documents to my network folder and well, that gets kind of old so I figure why not take it one step further. Why don’t I just change my default my documents location. Well after downing a little search on the Internet I came a article in the MSDN  Here’s a link to it if you want to change your default my documents location too http://tinyurl.com/9ngo7y

Why I Relay 4 Life

April 11th, 2009

image My primary reason for support relay for life is as you may or may not know I lost my grand father to his battle with cancer a few years back and followed by two aunts a few months later. That made really think about cancer and we can cure it.  Cancer is one of those diseases that effects people no matter if their rich or poor . If their Black or white, we all know someone who has been impacted by cancer. For the past three years I’ve gotten involved with Relays all across the northwest suburbs. As you may Me & Ann with the MP JC'sknow I’m a member of the Jaycees and they are heavy supporters of the American Cancer Society, especially the Relay For Life program. Please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society to keep the fight going for those we’ve lost in the battle of cancer.

Spring Consolidation

April 11th, 2009

image Ahh it’s the most wonderful time of the year, the sun is shining the grass is growing nice and green. It couldn’t be more picture perfect. I’m just relaxing at home outside with a miller lite and my laptop. I figure today was a great day to spend a little time cleaning up my network. My home is scanning for duplicate filesimage across my network and when it’s done it will be time to dump some of those too. I figure now is a good time while I wait why don’t I import some more postings from back in the day when I use to have a livejournal account.  Today I’m introducing just about 200 new posting from 2005 and 2006 and few from early 2008 that were posted to my old livejournal blog “The Wondering Mind Of GoGoRichie” I hope you enjoy them there quiet funny especial the ones written after coming home from the bar such as “How to block the mother hen attack” I know it’s one Jessica’s favorites.

March 28th, 2009

 

image I’m new to Windows Home Server, I just setup my box last Wednesday night and seem to running is much issues then I was expecting. First choppy video when I stream the ones I download through WHS & second and most important file corruption.  Currently I’m have file corruption issues in four directories Music, Video, imageSoftware, and Public. The error in all directories are all the same “ the group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation” imagewhen I check the MSDN there’s no solutions identified that will work for me besides deleting the effected files because I’ve tried every other solution. Let me know what I can do to resolve theses issues.

South Park on Instant Watch

March 28th, 2009

I’ve been a fan of the Netflix Instant Watch service for almost two years now. imageThen when they announced their partnership with Xbox 360 late last year I got my fiancée to become a fan of the service too. Once she realized that she could watch thousands of shows and movies instantly it was all good. Earlier this year they announced a partnership with Starz to bring some premium movies to the service. Right now were sitting with three movies out for the last two months still unwatched cause everything we have been watching is online Dog the bounty hunter, Weeds season 1 and now season 2 and so much more all watched via Instant Watch. This past Tuesday just like every new DVD Tuesday they released South Park Seasons 1 though 9 to the service.
