For a long time I had resisted converting my DVD and Blu-Ray disks into any other format because I didn’t want to lose any quality. I had lived by this rule for a long time, and thankfully companies like QNAP and Thecus came to my storage rescue. However, the day has come where the cost of storing all the extra garbage that comes along with these movies has opened my eyes to benefits conversions. With that, I have began converting my movie collection to a format that allows me to lose all the excess fat, but keep my movie loss-less. Read More…
In my career, yes there is a life outside of C.O.D., I am faced with many obstacles; usually regarding printing or scanning. Recently, it was requested by a customer that printer output be preceded by a separator page. Luckily, this is not restricted by devices (in most cases) and is rather easy to setup. This is very helpful in environments that have more than one user printing to a device. With a separator page, a user can differentiate their print from another person's print.
I have had an annoying problem that I just realized I had. Sometimes, when I am quick clicking through websites or testing on this one, I tend to hit some buttons rather quickly. Sometimes, they close my windows and other times have no effect. Well, one time, I accidentally zoomed in on this site with Firefox and never realized that I did so. Read More...
I have been hearing rumblings lately that Microsoft's Security Essentials is now available through Windows Update. The availability of an antivirus application through this type of service means that users will no longer have to scour the web for a link to install it. So what gives? Read More...

The one I have been faced with today was an error message stating "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." However, I am the administrator and I haven't set any policies on this machine yet! Read More...
I don't understand why things just can't seem to work seamlessly. Especially when you are talking about Microsoft Products. You would think that one Microsoft product would work without issue with another, and you would think that you are pretty much guaranteed that this would be the case when the Microsoft Product in question is installed through Windows Update. Enough of the babbling and on to the point... When installing updates for Windows Server 2003, I was pimp slapped with another error "The Requested Lookup Key Was Not Found In Any Active Activation Context". Read More...
It was a dark and stormy night, May 5th; it was intense, my dog was hiding in the bathtub, the wind was blowing like a child with a new kazoo, the rain was coming down in sheets (11 x 17), and my PC was left to fend for itself. Suddenly, the ground shook and my home felt epileptic. The phone rings, the same quake is hitting China, the U.K, Japan, Canada... this is a worldwide earthquake? This wasn't a typical earthquake, this was a digital earthquake; at least that's how Matousec.com describes it. They named it KHOBE! Read More...
This is a subject that can be attacked a few different ways. There are many reasons why people want to log into Windows Automatically and the ways to do it are just as various. For my purposes, logging into windows automatically is an absolute must for my HTPC's. The last thing I want to do is try to spell out my password using an IMON remote! Read More...
Many XP users have been blaming Service Pack 3 for breaking remote desktop connections to their machines. I, for one, have been unable to RDC into my Windows XP machine since the upgrade to Service Pack 3 as well. However, the issue isn't with Service Pack 3 at all! Nvidia is at fault! Read More...
