Today, I began using regular expressions to change a whole bunch of code. However, what I learned from using RegEx in TextMate was not the same as in Visual Studio.

For some strange reason, my network account would be locked by the domain controllers on the network and I couldn’t authenticate using my credentials. My workstation authenticates either through an ActiveDirectory server or an OpenLDAP server and only recently, I’ve been having problems with Apple Mail asking me for my password over and over again … Read more

But, you have to have the source code in order to do this … Read more
I had to rebuild my workstation, and alone with it, install a new hard drive that is to be used for testing. Now both drives have Windows 7 installed. When the installation for the second drive started up, all I saw was: Windows 7 Windows 7 as my boot options… Shoot! Which one do I … Read more
I thought this was a little far fetched when I read the description on thefirearmblog.com, but the video was actually really good.
I love how stable the PC is… especially when I need to use it most… I’m rebuilding my Windows 7 workstation… again… and this time, I’m cloning my disk… maybe in the hopes that I can restore from an image next time I have a situation like this.
