Soundtracks for the Soul

Saturday, March 24th, 2007 | Music | Comments Off

While trying to drive through to Winnipeg during the snowstorm (Sunday) Kris and I were listening to CBC Radio One.  The program Tapestry came on and the subject was on the music that makes you feel more alive, brings tears to their eyes, or touches their very souls› Continue reading

WP Update & A Lonely Boy

Friday, March 23rd, 2007 | Tech News | Comments Off

Looks like my upgrade of Wordpress to the latest & greatest version has gone as smoothly as one can hope for.  I also took the opportunity to see if any of the plugins I use here have had updates.  Some actually did.  It is good to see that there is a thriving community to support WordPress.

On another note, Kris is leaving for Toronto this afternoon and will not be back until next Wednesday.  Our furry lil beasties will be extra needy while she is gone, so I will have my hands full.  I do have a few things planned already so I will not need a honey do list left for me, and I can always waste time playing WoW.

My Facebook community is really growing.  It started very slowly, then yesterday exploded when I was able to find a number of old school mates, some I haven't seen in over a decade.  It was good to catch up on what they have been doing all these years.

30 years and counting

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 | Life | Comments Off

Today I am 30.  People have been asking if I feel any older, and to be honest, today I don't.  September 5, 2004 I felt older, and again on Tuesday March 20, 2007.  September 5th was the day my life and the lives of those around me changed forever.  It was the day my parents were hit by a driver who did not stop for a stop sign.  My dad was killed instantly and my mom was permanently injured.  March 20th was the day that the criminal charges against the driver went to court and we finally got a verdict. › Continue reading

Thank you Mr. Bush & Mr. Gates

Thank you both for giving me a few more gray hair this morning.  Ive spent the past 3 weeks preparing for the DST change in North America , reading endless knowledgbase articles, patching all my systems and thinking that everything was going to be alright.  Wrong.  I came in this morning to an email from an external partner saying the MS approved TZEdit program does not work.  So all my Windows 2000 servers and workstations will need to be updated, again.

To get Windows 2000 to recognize the changes you make in TZEdit you have to change the timezone you are in to a different one, i.e. from Central to Eastern, apply the change and then change it back again.  After doing this you will see the correct time on the clock.

For those of you running XP or Windows 2003 you can apply a registry edit that will fix the problem for you.  I've created the file for you here.  Save the file to your desktop, then run it accepting all prompts.
