Getting Hi-Rely to play with BackupExec
At first I was having some issues with the Hi-Rely eSata drive array swapping drives in and out. So I ended up reading the Symantec boards and found it to be a common issue. Perl of course came the rescue and a little bit of glue fixed it all up.

So Sorry
I would just like to apologize to the entire Husker Nation. I have not been wearing my Husker jamma pants this year which has caused some of the turnovers and mistakes this year. As of tonight I have donned my lucky pants in order to help us defeat the Jayhawks. Being a Husker who has […]

Rollin
There I was rollin along with my old Beastie Boys in feeling all pimp when the realization hit me. I’m a thirtysomething white guy with a three button collar shirt driving my CRV through Brookside on my way to my office job. I opened the sunroof and turned it up.

unspotable spotlight
If I run a spotlight search in OSX I should damn well be able to Command-Tab back to it.
So today I ended up updating my Facebook entry and making it something a little bit more informative. At this point posts to my website’s wordpress will get shot out to livejournal and picked as a feed for Facebook, if everything is working correctly. There’s also that LinkedIn account hanging around out there and the […]
