I normally don’t warn people about what should be obvious scams, but our neighborhood has been hit hard with “iJango! iJango! iJango!”. Basically, it’s another multi-level marketing scam.

Overall Photoshop CS4 Extended is running like a champ in 64-bit mode. It sees 6GB of RAM and all my plugins are working fine. However, my older Wacom Graphire tablet isn’t working for pressure sensitivty in Photoshop. There is a solution! Continue reading Wacom Graphire Tablet and Photoshop CS4 64-Bit So, I have a Nikon D-200, 2x AlienBees 400 strobes, and an SB-800 speedlight that I wish to use in a three light setup. Can I trigger the two AlienBees (AB)and the SB-800 without pre-flashes? Yes. Normally Apple’s operating system, OS X, works well with accessories such as my new Jawbone headset. The headset works wonderfully on the iPhone, but do a Google search for “os x jawbone bluetooth mic static” and see issues that 10.5.x has with most microphones on bluetooth headsets. Continue reading Apple OS X 10.5.7 and Jawbone Headset Linux and Windows Active Directory (AD) integration has come a long ways since 2000. It is now quite easy to take advantage of Kerberos for managing authentication at the host level (user logins and such). Surprisingly, it’s just as easy to the same in Apache now. This posting will walk you through the steps needed to configure and test authentication against a valid AD user. PrerequisitesIt is assumed the following prerequisites are in place:

Well, it appears that Google haven’t added an option to change it back to the way it was, but a Slashdot poster has a working solution (required Firefox and Adblock Plus). From the Slashdot post: NVW55V (994264) Just create a new filter in Adblock Plus with the content in bold above, and refresh the iGoogle page.
So you need to access a SQL Server (2005) using the SQL Server Management Studio. The server is running with Active Directory only authentication, but your laptop isn’t in the target domain and you only have access to the SQL server port (TCP 1433). What to do? Well, Galin Iliev has the answer. By using the runas command with the /netonly switch, you can pass credentials to the Management Studio which are used for access to the remote server. Only correction to Galin’s post is that the SQL Server Management Studio executable is sqlwb.exe instead of ssmsee.exe. So for us road warrior consultants, there is a way to access AD credentialed SQL server databases without have to join a domain or have any more network access than the TCP/IP port for the SQL server. Grand Cayman is a wonderful place to vacation, and after four days of sun, sand, and drinks, we are on our way home. But with only a few lackluster books to read on my Kindle, how to get content? For those traveling with laptops, the good news is that Cable & Wireless now offers free wi-fi in the Cayman departure terminal. This is new since November of 2007, and is in line with the same server C&W offers in the Barbados airport. Thank you for this service, and I dearly hope your separation from C&W PLC does the Caribbean market good, and not gouge the islands you still serve. But browsing the Amazon store and attempting to 1-click purchase comes back with the message:
Hmm. Okay, let’s see:
Viola! I could have spent time going through a proxy server located in the United States or setting up one of my own, but this was an in-place option. The book should suffice the two hour wait in the lounge, the three hour flight to Atlanta, and then the two hour transit via MARTA to our car. Take one SanDisk 2GB flash drive, add to a not-so-good Sears HE4T washer, then wash, rinse, and repeat. It didn’t make it to the dryer, smells like Downy, but still works. The driver source for the Realtek Ethernet controller is still on it, and it reads and writes like new. And smells better! It is amazing what key chain devices like this can go through nowadays. |
