Yes!! Surface Pro for Me! :-)

March 2, 2013 By Robert Owen

Ok. After much complaining and whining, I finally got my Surface Pro. My purchase plan had to update a little, but everything seemed to work out nicely.  I had planned to get the whole package from Best Buy but, if you read my previous crazy rant. You know that didn't work out. I ended up watching the Microsoft Store website like a hawk and on Feb 16th, they showed up as available for order again with a projected delivery of March 1. Click! Went my order.  But, just for the tablet. I … [Read more...]

Windows 7 Telnet Client

December 7, 2009 By Robert Owen

I dropped to a command prompt today on my Windows 7 machine to telnet into my Cisco Router and found, that once Again the Microsoft telnet client is not installed. It seems that, as with Windows vista, the Microsoft Telnet client is not installed by default.   But luckily it's pretty easy to install,  just follow these simple steps: Click the Start "Pearl" and select the Control Panel from the menu. Once the Control Panel opens, double click the Programs and Features  … [Read more...]

IIS 6: Adding Footers to Web Pages

July 16, 2009 By Robert Owen

Did you know you can configure the Microsoft IIS 6 web server to automatically insert an HTML-formatted file to the bottom of every web page sent out by your Web Server?  Well, you can. For example, you host several sites and want to add a link back to your company for advertisement.  You could create a simple HTML file that contained a text message and an image that you hyperlink back to your web site.  Then enable the footer function in IIS 6. Once you enable this feature, IIS … [Read more...]

Win_root System32 Hal.dll missing or corrupt

July 11, 2009 By Robert Owen

Had a dandy today.  A client called saying that their computer would no longer boot.  When I asked them if there was any kind of error message, they read me the following: Win_root\System32\Hal.dll missing or corrupt: Please re-install a copy of the above file. Sounds serious, huh?  It is.  When I arrived at the office there was an ominous "clicking" sound coming from the hard drive area of the computer. (cue scary music)  And we all know what that generally means.  Being … [Read more...]

Export Dreamweaver CS4 Site Info

July 7, 2009 By Robert Owen

Ninety-nine percent of the time I work on websites for myself and others from the comfort of my home office. I can kick back relax and generally get a lot of work done.  Sometimes, however, I need a "Change of local"... The office gets a little confining.  Instead of copying the site (or sites) I'm working on from desktop to thumb-drive to laptop, I have devised another method. This may not be the "best" method but, it works quite well for me. (Thank you very much :-) ) First, I make … [Read more...]
