We are in the process of installing a policy and procedure management application at the hospital. It has been setup so that users are not required to enter their user name and password to access the site, it is done via LDAP. To get the single-sign-on benefits of the LDAP look ups we [...]
We just got in a batch of HP desktops and so far they look to be a good investment. There isn’t much crap/bloat ware installed on it, so we can get them out the door to our users quite quickly. We have had only 1 minor issue with them. For each new [...]

Setting up the connection info is a snap. You just have to enter in the URL of your [...]
I was checking my Wordpress.com blog stats this morning and noticed that I had a new incoming link to my site. I was curious to see who and what this back-link was about. It turned out to be some guy using an image I have posted in my Diskeeper review. I have [...]
Yesterday was a nightmare. Nothing worked as it should. Nothing. Not one thing. Then to top things off I received my call back from tech support for my SSL VPN connection issue. I could connect the SSL VPN without a problem, I just couldn’t connect using VNC to an internal [...]
