Domain Conversion 26 February 2007 at 9:56 pm by 269 views

It’s been a few days since my last post… seems our conversion to a new domain (name and servers) for my company took a bit longer than I realized! I worked about 36 hours starting from when I got off on Friday @ 5:00 PM and when I came back at Monday @ 8:00 AM.

I’d say the conversion is a good 90% done… we had a total of around 160 users scattered over 5+ states and had never attempted something like this before. We just have some minor fires to put out and little details to finish and we’re done. Not bad for a team of 4 people (2 contractors and 2 corporate staff). :)

Anyway, that’s my update for the day… I’m just glad I got to get off work at a normal time today!!

A few days back I was browsing the SA Forums and ran across this amusing thread:

Rapcat!

It was cute… for those who didn’t want to look, a fellow goon followed the instructions on their bag from Checkers and turned their favorite feline into a Rapcat wannabe. It was quite cute. Anywho, next thing you know she is being featured on FoxNews as an animal abuser… see here:

Local Fox News affiliate thinks I’m an animal abuser

It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen and I keep saying it, but I honestly hate that the news agencies have found the internet.

+ Stop, Vista Time! By 20 February 2007 at 6:49 am 1,814 views 2 Comments

Last night I was watching a little TV when I thought I’d jump on the computer for awhile, and what did my little eyes see? A nice big BSOD… great. Now, I’m running Vista Ultimate 32-bit, and I love it… but it’s so new it’s kinda hard to get good documentation on why I have a big STOP message on my screen. The message I got was basically:

STOP: 0x000000F4 (0×00000003, 0x????????, 0x????????, 0x????????)

After doing some research online I narrowed it down to RAM, my HDD being set as slave, or heat. Well, I was feeling a little warm… was the heater on? I turned around and looked at my aquarium… hmmmm…. running 4 degrees warmer than it should. Uh-oh! I turned off my system and then ran to turn off the heat (which was set pretty high for some reason). A few hours later and like magic, everything is back working again.

So, what does this mean to you? If you get this BSOD in Vista, first thing I would do is blow out any dust from your PC and check the temp in your room… it seems this error is a good indication of overheating!

I finally got around to taking some nicer pics of Jessica’s ring, but the camera still didn’t want to focus right. Oh well. It’s a beautiful ring and everyone always asks to see it, but Jess doesn’t follow me around everywhere, so now you can look here!

Nice, huh? :) You can click the links to see the images a little larger, and for those wondering, we got it custom-made from Whitehall Jewellers!
