Sweet Music (2004-2-29)

The Concordia Seminary Chorus visited our church today, and sang some beautiful music. The full Chorus is made up of about 70 seminary students, faculty members and staff. This tour through the Southeast consisted of about 22 members of the Chorus. We put them up in our homes for the night, and they returned the [...]

Exorcist Baby? (2004-2-29)

If you've got a baby that suffers from Infant Reflux, check out my friend Karen's website — www.infantreflux.org. Karen's son had a severe case of Infant Reflux, and she started up her site to help moms (and dads) who were at their wits end and couldn't find information about their child's condition. Lots of great [...]

Digital Photography Tips (2004-2-28)

I've got a new digital camera on its way, and have been poking around for tips and tricks so I can make good use of it. I ran across this excellent article: Top Ten Digital Photography Tips by Derrick Story. Good reading.

Unmirroring TUCOWS :( (2004-2-24)

I had to take down the TUCOWS mirror that we host late last week, and it just killed me to do it. For the last four years or so, my ISP has been (I'm told) one of the top 100 mirrors of the TUCOWS download site. Of late, I think we were probably in the [...]

MailSite…slow, slower, slowest (but no more!) (2004-2-19)

WORKAROUND: I found that the problem was almost non-existent when the service first started, and got progressively worse over time. Within about 10 minutes, the service was effectively non-responsive. To work around the problem, I installed a script that restarted the service every 10 minutes. After a reboot, even this was insufficient, and I reduced [...]

Dead Parrots (and other Server tricks) (2004-2-13)

I bumped into an interesting problem today. I've got a network that I maintain that's a mix of Windows NT Servers, Windows 2000 Servers, and Windows 2003 Servers. For various reasons, most of it is under the control of a Windows NT 4 Primary Domain Controller (PDC), and several Windows NT4 Backup Domain Controllers (BDC). [...]

Superbowl Ads (2004-2-2)

Maybe it's just me, but I wasn't all that impressed with the ads on the Superbowl this year. I came into the game about the middle of the second quarter, and it sure seemed to me that the local station was running some of its own ads. BUT, if you're curious, I found a site [...]
