What a great place to share :) Here you will find flashes of brilliance caught for all the world to enjoy. .. Actually, these are brief articles describing how I fixed a problem.

Revisit: Handy time zone information

As mentioned in a previous article (WizYo Sytes Net: Handy time zone information) recent changes to the laws concerning Daylight Savings Time have caused several computers to have their clocks set incorrectly since no one has bothered to inform your computer that someone at NIST changed the dates.

The simple solution is to let your computer know what the correct dates are for falling back and springing forward. The following utility makes this process very simple. Download and run to update your computer.
EZ Time Zone Update Released !

State of the Webmaster - Fall 2007

This started out as an email response. After rambling on for several minutes, I realized this is not quite a response to a friend, but instead turns out to be me letting off a little steam .. enjoy

Let's just say this is a bad week for a positive response :)

I'm still breathing, so I guess it's not too bad yet ~!

All in all everything is just about the same for me. I work as fast and hard as I can, but never seem to catch up.

This week's catastrophe is flavored with a touch of "bad UPS battery" and topped off with "nearly total loss of your data" served up on a well aged IBM server with a side of "pointless USB backup via Acronis 8.0" .. and of course, your beverage of choice ~! :-D

Tip from the tip-meister .. Dawn in a spray bottle ! Take an ordinary spray bottle and fill with water. Add about a teaspoon squirt of Dawn dish soap and screw on the sprayer top. Shake for 5 seconds and use on everything. Engine parts, cabinets .. air conditioner coils! .. hands .. anything greasy or just dirty .. etc .. Take in the car with a roll of paper towels for quick and easy cleanup.

BartPE is good, CleanUp and Windows Updates are bad .. VPN can be done with software instead of router hardware. Ubuntu Linux is highly recommended.

P4 processors are too slow for QuickBooks.

I should probably find a therapist to talk to.. but he'd probably ignore me too! haha

Surge Protection 101

Surge protectors don't provide any protection if the "ground" is not present. The way they protect is by bleeding off excessive voltage to ground during a spike situation. If the ground is missing or overloaded, the surge passes right on into the connected equipment (Computer/Modem/Monitor/etc..).

Unfortunate Realization

I've come to the conclusion that not all P4's are worthy of being upgraded.

Latest evaluation finds a P4 2GHz with 768MB RAM running Windows 2000. PC's slow performance is most likely the result of the older architecture and will not see any benefit in upgrading the memory.
