Are You Sure?
Category: Admin Notes | Comments Off
Sometimes it’s best to fully consider your answer before you click ‘Yes’. Catalog readers experienced about a half hour of blankness after I emptied all 25,195 entries in the catalog by clicking ‘Yes’. Oops. Everything’s restored now. Backups are your friends.

Nuke Time: Phase II
Category: Admin Notes, Ingenuity | Comments Off
Uh, Oh: The OS nuking didn’t help. Laptop runs an hour, then it’s, “Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights.” Perhaps it’s heat related? I guess I’ll have to delve into its innards to see if it has fur balls in need of extraction. Update: Disassembled laptop. Fired up the compressor and blew out a cloud [...]

Nuke Time
Category: Admin Notes, Homefront, Ingenuity | Comments Off
After a couple of years, multiple program installations, several printer configurations and the inadvertent glitches that occur over time, Windows computers seem to reach a point where the Windows operating system can benefit from only one thing: Nuking the OS. The laptop reached that stage today after shutting down repeatedly after start-up. The full nuke [...]

Messin’ with Wires

Sometimes wires need messin’ with, and this was one of those times. I wondered why, oh why did my 1 Gbps LAN connection only show – and perform, at a 10 Mbps rate. First, I found an interesting chart at SmallNetBuilder.com. Their chart showed that my beloved Linksys WRT54G router was rated fourth from the [...]

Blogger Payola

Weak BS Story at Daily Caller claims “political groups oftentimes pay bloggers for their insights”. See True stories of bloggers who secretly feed on partisan cash. Myself, I am pleased with the (not quite) daily wheelbarrows of cash from the NRA that appear at my door.

What is this?

Unusual spike in my normally sedate traffic clicker. Thanks to The Firearm Blog but I can’t tell what post is throwing this traffic my way. Solar flare? Related question: Anyone know why SiteMeter fails to log 20% of the visits tracked by StatCounter?
