• Finally picked up a new laptop

  Well I found it was about time to get a new laptop so I went on a spending spree today. Picked up a new HP DV5-1004NR . It's a pretty decent laptop for the price tag, and it certainly has some nice features included. It was mandatory I get a 64-bit...

• My Computer Runs faster after ditching Norton Anti-virus

  It's no surprise that running an anti-virus program will put a performance hit on your PC. However, I was recently really getting fed up with Norton Anti-virus as it's resident programs were always bloated using up to 50mb of ram and my system...

• 10 Things I want in a Job

  I've had it. I quit. I'm done. It can't be done here. I'm tired. Help! All of the previous statements have been said by me in the past few years here at my current job as a Sr. Software Engineer at a local government contractor. Our company...

• Calling Vista by a new name might be appropriate...

  Microsoft released a website recently posting reaction videos of people they had asked to preview a new version of Windows called Mojave. Only this was simply Windows Vista they were actually previewing. The point being to show that people had misconceptions...

• Upgrading to Mobile 6.1 killed my Phone as Modem service...

  ...killed it for a couple of days at least. Until I came across a comment in a blog about a related issue regarding how Sprint denies MMS on Win mobile and blackberry phones. Although I had also read that Sprint will "soon" be releasing an update... Posted Jul 28 2008, 05:47 PM by RobK410 with | with no comments Filed under: Ponderings, Geek Sh!t

  Hell yeah! I loved the first Tron; to hear they're making a second one is pimp. About time!

• I'm now on facebook

  Oh yes, I've done like the rest and have moved on from mySpace to Facebook. Quite frankly after using Facebook, I'm wondering why I hadn't done so sooner. It is quite frankly a more robust site, with "pluggable applications" it's... Posted Jul 08 2008, 01:09 AM by RobK410 with | with no comments Filed under: Geek Sh!t, facebook

• IExpress: Forgotten Tool Revisited

  So I was fumbling around my hard drive looking to reinstall my old copy of PackageForTheWeb 4.0, and gave up when I realized that the install was nowhere to be found. After doing some googling, I came across a reference to a Microsoft tool I long ago... Posted Dec 06 2007, 04:59 PM by RobK410 with | with no comments Filed under: Geek Sh!t

• Changing the default HTML viewer in Internet Explorer

  Sadly, even to this day, Internet Explorer relies on notepad for viewing HTML source code through the default view source menu item. There is no programmatic way to change their either; which completely blows. Luckily there is a registry setting one can...

• Windows Live Writer Test

  This is just a simple test using the final version of Windows Live Writer. This tool will most ultimately be the interface of choice I will be using to write my blog posts. Very easy to use and a very sleek "live" GUI. Nice going Microsoft!... Posted Aug 21 2007, 02:24 AM by RobK410 with | with no comments Filed under: Geek Sh!t

• The RK.com CS Theme

  Well I've spent the better part of three hours going through and modifying the CS theme to look pretty much the way the old site looked. Not too difficult, just time consuming to figure out how CS is doing what it does. Not sure why there aren't... Posted Aug 21 2007, 03:09 AM by RobK410 with | with no comments Filed under: Geek Sh!t

• VPSland can kiss my arse...

  They decided without warning to completely delete my account and VPS server. Apparently I had a past due balance (7 days past due) and this was enough to completely drop me rather than allow me to pay. They suck. Their customer service sucks. I am with...

• F*&KING PISSED...

  That would be the minimum description of how I'm feeling right now. My VPSLand VPS server crashed this past weekend wiping out everything.
