Friday Funny: Can’t Remember?

July 31, 2009 By Robert Owen

Last week I forgot to post a Friday Funny.  In fact, last week I didn't post much at all.   I nearly forgot Friday Funny again this week until I ran across this little ditty on Youtube.  Hope you enjoy...  Hope it helps you remember to do something you didn't realize you had forgotten.  Too bad I didn't see this last week! :-) … [Read more...]

Got an iPhone? Better turn it off!

July 30, 2009 By Robert Owen

I just followed a tweet over to Mashable and read another article about the latest Apple security flaw. This time affecting the iPhone. Cybersecurity researchers, Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner, have identified a vulnerability in the iPhone OS that will allow an attacker to take control of the Phone via a SMS message.  They have, supposedly, notified Apple more than a month ago about this vulnerability, but  the company still hasn’t released a patch. The two plan to publicize the … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: The Smarter Sex?

July 17, 2009 By Robert Owen

Ok guys, here is my make-up funny for missing last week.  I hope you find it of sufficient quality to make up for my lapse. Enjoy: A woman and a man are involved in a car accident - it's a bad one.  Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So, you're a man.  That's interesting.  I'm a woman.  Wow!  Just look at our cars - there's nothing left, but, fortunately, we are unhurt.  This must be a … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: A Cat’s Diary

July 17, 2009 By Robert Owen

Looking for a Funny for today I realized I didn't post one for last week.  Although, you had a "two-for" recently, that's no excuse to skip a day.   So, today I'll give you two again.  It may take me a minute or two to find a second of sufficient quality but, I will ! #1 - Excerpt from ... DIARY OF A CAT DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me … [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...]
