A Bad Night: You Can’t Make This Shit Up
Let me preface this with: I know the complaints listed herein are rather petty. Furthermore, I understand there are far worse problems to have and that there are some who will read this that would love for these to be the least of their concerns. However, since this is my blog I can write what I want. Continue reading A Bad Night: You Can’t Make This Shit Up

Tether: What an Awesome App
I recently was hooked up with a copy of Tether for BlackBerry by a buddy of mine. I will refrain from listing his name here so he doesn’t get inundated by people begging for a hook up. To my friend…thank you! I had no idea what I was missing!
Here’s the deal. I had heard about Tether many times before. I actually looked into purchasing it more than once, but I just couldn’t justify the price. Especially since I have a non-3G phone. There is little in life as painful as loading a full web page over a 2G connection. If you ever do have the chance to load a full web page over a 2G connection, jump off a f-ing cliff. It will be far less painful. Continue reading Tether: What an Awesome App

Get Noticed in Your Field: Make Them Know Your Name
I want people to know who I am. Plain and simple.
I am not looking for fame, actually quite the opposite. I have no want for that type of life. I am not looking for money (although, I would not turn it down). I do not want a “following” or anything comparable. I am not looking for glory. I simply want people to say “Hey, I know that guy” when someone mentions either me, something I have done, or a topic I am related to. I think that is what most people want. To be known/remembered. What is the solution? Continue reading Get Noticed in Your Field: Make Them Know Your Name

Only Great Minds Can Read This
I have gotten this one a few times over. Albeit simple, this is an amazing display of what the human mind is capable of.

MS Access Error Message: “Could not use ‘Admin’: file already in use.”
I am the database administrator for a secured, multi-user, networked Microsoft Access database. Explaining the issues I have encountered while in my current job as applied to database administration would take more space than my hosting plan will allow! My biggest hurdle is that I am a network admin for my sector, but do not have full access to the server…only my sector. Inherently, the issue then becomes when the server admins change security settings or network drive locations without letting me know. The most common issue with drive permission and security is not access to the backend, but instead modified permissions. The resulting error message is almost always “Could not use ‘Admin’: file already in use.” Continue reading MS Access Error Message: “Could not use ‘Admin’: file already in use.”
