Intune error message that vexes
I have never used Windows Remote Assistance to request assistance. I have always provided the assistance to users via “Offer Remote Assistance” on a Small Business Server console. I was especially vexed by this Windows Intune error message recently when I was trying out Intune for the first time.
I had a clean install of Windows 7 Professional, and I … Read the rest
Still looking too closely.
A few years ago, I happened to notice an idiocycracy about some word proccessor’s spell checker. Its been fixed.
A vision of our tearless times
The title of my post is from a poem by Peter Meinke entitled “Sonnet On The Death Of The Man Who Invented Plastic Roses”. It may be my favorite poem. As a humorous homage to Meinke I offer my own vision of the future, as I expect to see it before long in the help wanted pages:

What’s your computer named?
Its recently come to my attention that a certain competitor of KinetixHosting.com (blatant plug) has servers named UGH and one named SHEKEL.
I just wanted to remind everyone that it could be worse.

Odd things you notice if you look too closely

It really fries my chops, because I know of a couple 7 year old sites designed in tables that didn’t break. My site is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and it validates, yet when I saw it in IE 7 I … Read the rest
6bone goes dark today

If you know where to look
Recently I have been thinking more and more about this issue of accuracy. As I read the piece I mentioned from The Economist, I tried to think of these individual efforts at publishing valuable and accurate content.
Maybe he read my posts in AdvisorBits, but more likely he got my address in some other way. At any rate, Jonathan Janson … Read the rest
What’s wrong with this picture?
I was standing in line in the local supermarket a while ago, and I had the hardest time finding the amount I owed on the screen of the cash register.

Browser News and Vindication
If you haven’t updated to Firefox 1.5 yet, I would wait a while. I think they still have some bugs to hammer out of this version, and there are also a number of extensions that I use which haven’t been upgraded.
Today is black Tuesday. (That is what I call the second Tuesday of each month when Microsoft releases the … Read the rest
