By Krakie!! I've Done IT Again!!!
That’s “IT” as in “Information Technology”. I had a problem with a Canon iC D800 Printer installed on a network. It was one of those damned MS Windows errors: The instruction at “0x77f41d24” referenced memory at “0x00000000.” The memory could not be written. (That’s the exact message, but the numbers are not exactly the same - so...

Windows XP Media Center Sucks. Vista Sucks.
With Vista as the print server (Vista Print Server - aka Vista Sucks) and XP Media Center as the print client the printer I setup on the XP Media Center (henceforth XP Sucks) the printer magically disappears from the list of networked printers and equally magically turns itself into a local printer on LPT1 over and over again. There’s no such thing as magic - but there are nightmares. This...

THE DETH OF A FEIN OLDE COMPUTER
Alas, my oldest and most prized computer - one which I had received well used, that was put to pasture by a corporation I worked for (and which I had continued to use for eight more years) - died last week. A machine I had upgraded from an AMD K-6 200 processor to use an AMD K-6 350 processor. It still used the old mouse - you know, the one before the PS2, sorry, I don’t remember...

“Here are some tips from the article for making your blog “recruiter-friendly”:
Clearly identify your specialty.
Show you’re current on hot topics.
Provide more information. (Include a resume or a link to a social networking site you use.)

WORLD'S GREATEST BEER LIST
I compiled this list some years back - there may be a few that you feel are missing either because they’re your own personal favorite(s) or because they’re newly arrived on the scene. I had worked in bar and restaurant management and bartending for about 18 years when my best friend told me he wanted me to come in as an expert consultant, and to manage the pre-opening phase of his...

I moved from Manhattan, NY, to Brooksville FL about three and a half years ago and started up my own small computer networking business. This was after going to a good Network Engineering/Data Communications school in Manhattan across from the World Trade Center and graduating a few months before they were hit by terrorists. My major was in Network Engineering and I held a few positions in...
