Hibbert is on the Bench – Lebron Wins the Game

Why Are Mormons So Hot…

This is funny, so you know Google right?  So start typing in a new Google Search the words “Why are…” and the number one result is “Why are Mormons so hot”.  I was searching for a technical issue I was having with one of my sites and thought I’d go straight the source of all things, Google.

why are mormons so hit

If you see what I see in Google, the number one thing that comes back is “Why are Mormons so hot”.  The results lead me to wonder why would people be searching for an answer to the question why Mormons are so hot.  And, do  you really think that there is an answer out there?  Since the internet doesn’t lie, I guess its a fact that mormons are so hot.  Not just Mormons are hot, but Mormons are SO hot.

The term “Mormon” refers to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and is nickname that’s been around for a long time.  More here about Mormons.

Royal Bliss, ‘Waiting Out the Storm’ – Exclusive Track by Track Album Stream

Royal Bliss have been rocking out for 15 years since forming in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1997, and the band is set to release its eighth album, ‘Waiting Out the Storm’ on Tuesday, Jan. 24. Frontman Neal Middleton was kind enough to offer Loudwire an exclusive track-by-track breakdown of the new disc to go along with full streams of each song on the album.

Of the album itself, Middleton says: “I wrote the words to this record during a crazy time in my life. We had just got out of our deal with Capitol; we had other label people and managers trying to push us in a direction we did not want to go. I had just become a father; I experienced death for the first time. Many people around me were struggling with drugs and alcohol. There were a lot of real things going on in my life. These were the 11 songs out of around 100 that made the record.”

Windows 7 Hibernation File Disable

In Windows 7, as in previous versions, there is the ability to have your machine go into Hibernation or power save mode. Whether this is really a valuable option is really up to the decision of each user. As for me, it’s more of a pain than a benefit. The pain part of it for me is that when your machine goes into hibernation mode it creates a cache file the size of everything in your RAM. So, if you have 4 GB of RAM installed on your machine, it creates a cache file that size. This can take up valuable disk space. Here’s how you can disable and delete that cache file.

Open up the command prompt, you need to run it as the administrator. Type powercfg -h on and press Enter.  Done.

 

IT Inquires of Day

Here’s a few IT related inquiries I’ve had today, enjoy:

- User: My log-in isn’t working. Me: log-in to what? User: the one I use to log-in.

- User: I have Mozilla FoxFire installed on my home computer…have you ever heard of that? Me: Nope.

-User: Is the system down? Me: Yes, we sent an email out about 5 minutes saying that it was going to be rebooted. User: Oh, that’s what that meant.

- User: (Having some problems with some webpage rendering incorrectly) Me: What browser are you using? User: Uhhhh…Gmail….? Me: Hmm, that’s your email. What icon did you click on to get to the internet? User: Hmm, the same one I always do. Me: Was it a little blue “E”? User: I’m not a real technical person.

Windows 7 Set Default Email Application

Set Lotus Notes to Basic Mode

If your Lotus Notes is hanging or causing other errors try putting it into basic mode.  Look below:

Explanation:

This allows customers to install the 8.0.2 Notes Standard client, but launch the Basic client based on a Notes.ini parameter UseBasicNotes=1.

 

This notes.ini parameter will allow external programs that launch notes, such as a MailTo: URL, or launching an NSF file directly, to launch notes in Basic mode if UseBasicNotes=1 is set in the Notes.ini.

 

This will allow customers to rollout a single package, but define which users will launch Basic vs Standard via this notes.ini parameter.  For example, if a machine does not meet the hardware requirements of 8.0.2 Standard, but does for Basic, this will allow the client to launch in Basic mode until hardware has been upgraded,

 

By default, this parameter is not in the notes.ini and will launch the Standard client if it is omitted or set to 0.

 

Notes.ini parameters can be pushed out via administrative policy, which make it easier for customers to centrally control this feature.

Applies to:

Workstations

Default Value:

0

UI equivalent:

None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.

Syntax:

UseBasicNotes=0 / 1

Available since:

Lotus Notes/Domino 8.0.2

Obsolete since:

Lotus Notes/Domino x.x.x

David Stern Statement on NBA Players Union Rejection

 

NBA Commissioner David Stern has issued the following statement:

“At a bargaining session in February 2010, Jeffrey Kessler, counsel for the union, threatened that the players would abandon the collective bargaining process and start an antitrust lawsuit against our teams if they did not get a bargaining resolution that was acceptable to them.

“In anticipation of this day, the NBA filed an unfair labor practice charge before the National Labor Relations Board asserting that, by virtue of its continued threats, the union was not bargaining in good faith. We also began a litigation in federal court in anticipation of this same bargaining tactic.

“The NBA has negotiated in good faith throughout the collective bargaining process, but — because our revised bargaining proposal was not to its liking – the union has decided to make good on Mr. Kessler’s threat.

“There will ultimately be a new collective bargaining agreement, but the 2011-12 season is now in jeopardy.”

Well friends, the good times are over.

Can’t Install Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3)

So this past week I’ve been trying to install Adobe Illustrator on a computer. Every time I would try the progress bar would stop about 40% and the CD would stop spinning.  No errors, no warnings, nothing…just a dead stop.  Despite my own best efforts in searching for solutions on line and within the Adobe support forums, nothing was working.  I attempted to contact Adobe support to see if they could shed some light on the issue I was having.  Surely they’ve had other people with the same issue and could at least tell me what the issue might be related to.

If you’ve reached this page looking for the solution, here’s what I did to get the installation to work.  Uninstall all programs by Adobe that you might have installed on the computer: Reader, Flash Player, Acrobat and any shared components.  Then restart the computer and try installing again.  There are some other references that I found that said to try copying the installation files from the install CD to the hard drive of the computer then running the setup.exe.  This didn’t work for me and would error out when I tried to copy the files over.  So, remove all Adobe stuff then restart then try installing.

Any how, I jumped on the Adobe tech support chat.  Here’s how it went:
