Is M$ wrong when Vista reboots after an update without allowing you to
save your bacon?

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Berlind/?p=733

It's a long read to get past the writers pats on his back about prior
articles, but you get to the meat of the issue.

If you follow a security policy that says the user is to stupid, then you
force the reboot hell or high water.

I'm sure a lot of in house departments are going to learn the HARD way how
to adjust the policy here to make it work as they desired.

I know that you read that M$ says run as a user instead of an Admin.  You
all laughed right?  I know I did.

Have you ever put together playlists on your iPod or MP3 player?

If so then you need to start your personal radio station on Pandora.  This
is a brief description of it. http://www.pandora.com/mgp.shtml

I have done a swing, then a west coast jazz and the east coast eq of that
time period.

You start with a few artists or song titles and let it start to accumulate
similar for your station.  You can tell it you don't like particular songs
and it can filter around them, or tell it that you like that song and it
will find more like it.

My next station will probably be along the lines of early Motown.

pandora.com  Check it out if you like variety in tunes.

[NF] Consulting saga continued or Why Be Normal?

2007-07-23 Thread srussell

Well I have a configuration tool designed for generating data for our
sales screen.  I was told that our DBA will not allow a single table for
lookups.  Instead I now need 5 tables to hold identical data.
Key, Description, status, ChangeDate, LastUser

All I did was add another column for generalized key.

Key, GKey, Description, status, ChangeDate, LastUser

Unfortunately I need to change all my syntax to adapt to the frigin table
and column names.

I got the configuration form done in 3 days with lots of side requests.  I
guess that I can redo it in about the same time.  :)


so code like this :
Public Shared Function ShowNode(ByVal gkey As Integer, ByVal dt As
DataTable) As DataTable
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet
Dim sql As String = Select * from itapps.bizLists where bl_gkey =
  gkey   and bl_status = 0 order by 3 
ds = DataPortal.FillDataSet(sql, ds, MasterList, LOL)
dt = ds.Tables(0)
ShowNode = dt
ds.Dispose()
dt.Dispose()
End Function

It will probably have to get refactored to :
Public Shared Function ShowNode( ByVal dt As DataTable, byVal tbl as
string, byVal colPre as string, byVal TName as string ) As DataTable
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet
Dim sql As String = Select * from itapps.  tbl  where 
ColPre  _status = 0 order by 2 
ds = DataPortal.FillDataSet(sql, ds, MasterList, LOL)
dt = ds.Tables(0)
ShowNode = dt
ds.Dispose()
dt.Dispose()
End Function

I have update, insert, and removal code that all needs to get this
stupidity because the term NORMALIZED is a farce here.

A PR person’s dream

Looking at my email I think a PR person’s dream is to have me as a captive
audience so that he or she can bring clients by and get them to see their
stuff.

So, today, their dream will be realized. I’ll be a captive of a line in
front of the Palo Alto University Ave Apple store. Come by, say hi, wait
in line for an iPhone. Or just pitch me on your clients’ stuff. I’ll be
there from about 11 a.m. today through 6 p.m. tomorrow.

Extra credit to PR folks who bring me Starbucks (latte!) or other goodies.
Bring some to share. Heheh.


I wish I had an ego 1/10 that size.

Bad Steve!

[OT] More on the selling out for tourists

2007-04-10 Thread srussell

I don't know the drive time from the South Rim of the GC to this spot but
a WAG would be at least 3 hours one way if you drive real fast.  Road
conditions may not allow that as of now but a few years they will be
better.

http://tinyurl.com/35n3tl

DO LOOK DOWN: Tourists stroll on the Skywalk that extends 70 feet over the
western rim of the Grand Canyon. It costs $75 for a 15-minute walk ($50
for entrance to the reservation and $25 for the walkway). Tribal leaders
see a tourist bonanza, but critics see it sullying a natural wonder.

50.00 to enter the reservation, that is pretty steep!  I will bet that
your ability to purchase some fantastic Native American art and blankets
on the drive in and out will make it worth the time.  Make a stop or two
to view these pieces made locally.  Nothing out of China now a days!

For those of you who like to barter bring beer and liquor to trade with. 
Reservations are usually dry.

But quotes like this make me laugh:
the platform on which 90 per cent of spyware, adware, virus, worm, and
Trojan developers build. That translates into 90 per cent of botnet
zombies, 90 per cent of spam relays, 90 per cent of spyware hosts, and 90

He said it may require a new law to address the concerns about some of

get them involved in a judicial system where there is the potential of
them being released, Gates told the House Defense Appropriations

doesn't work very well, unfortunately. There are serious problems with
execution; it's not polished; it's not ready. It should not be on the
market, and certainly not for the outrageous prices being charged. Don't
buy it, at least until after the first service pack is out. Don't pay to

RE: [SQL2K] Replication to Foxpro

2007-02-13 Thread srussell
More on the replication story.  Anyone have an idea?

I find it funny as hell myself.  Open a browse on a table and it's all
there pick what you want.

 The reason we are looking for a way to migrate updates to SQL Server over
 to
 FoxPro is to put a band-aid on a performance problem until they have the
 time to rewrite the application in .NET.

 Currently, they have an application written in Visual FoxPro 8 that used
 to
 have a FoxPro database on teh backend. They moved the database to SQL
 Server, but still use the FoxPro front end. They have a data layer in the
 middle that handles passing the data back and forth between the FoxPro app
 and SQL Server.

 The problem is that they have screens that pull back all the data from
 certain key tables that are pretty large. I don't know all the specifics
 (since I know almost nothing about FoxPro) but they say when they had the
 FoxPro database, the app would simply open a pipe to the data and they
 could
 bring back the first screen full of data in a couple of seconds, and then
 Foxpor would leave the pipe open so it could smootly scroll
 forward/backward
 throught the results without having to issue another data request.
 Therefore, the application is not built with any form of paging
 capability.

 The proplem they've run into now that SQL Server is the database is that
 in
 order to simulate the scrolling capability of the FoxPro based tables, the
 middle layer has to pull all the data into a cache area first. Needless to
 say, this takes a long time (5 minutes or more). The users are not happy
 having to wait that long everytime the data needs to be pulled into the
 cache, not when they used to be able to bring the data up in a matter of
 seconds.

 They realize the proper way to write the app for SQL Server would be to
 put
 in a paging mechanism and bring back data in chunks, but that would
 require
 and extensive recodign of the application to put that change in all the
 screens. Since they are in the process of completely rewriting the
 application in .Net to replace the FoxPro app in the next year or two,
 they
 dont' want to spend that much effort rewriting the existing app at this
 time.

 As a quick fix, they had the idea of having the application connect to and
 read from FoxPro tables as it did before. These FoxPro tables woudl be
 copies of the tables in SQL Server. SQL Server would still be the
 datasource
 of record so all updates woudl go to the SQL Server tables only and some
 mechanism would be needed to keep the FoxPro tables updated in near-real
 time. Hence, the reason I was looking for a replication solution. Looks
 like
 I may need to go another route than recplication however, something with
 minimal latency.

 However, if anybody has any other ideas how to solve the query performance
 problem another way, I'd be open to any suggestions.

To some, Windows Vista is Microsoft's most secure operating system ever.
To others, it's the most Mac-like. But from a developer standpoint, it's
the first proving ground for Microsoft's new family of managed programming
interfaces that have been under development for the past five years.

“Oracle has Java, which extends its functionality by providing direct

for SQL Server, effectively closing that loop on Oracle. “The open source

[OT] the essence of being a Christian.

2007-01-23 Thread srussell
For all of you godless of you out there.  This is from today's meditation
http://www.rc.net/wcc/readings/jan23.htm
I see only great qualities for mankind listed.


What is the essence of being a Christian? It is certainly more than
doctrine, precepts, and commandments. It is first and foremost a
relationship – a relationship of trust, affection, commitment, loyalty,
faithfulness, kindness, thoughtfulness, compassion, mercy, helpfulness,
encouragement, support, strength, protection, and so many other qualities
that bind persons together in mutual love and unity. God offers us the
greatest of relationships - union of heart, mind, and spirit with himself,
the very author and source of love (1 John 4:8,16). God's love never
fails, never forgets, never compromises, never lies, never lets us down
nor disappoints us. His love is consistent, unwavering, unconditional, and
unstopable. Nothing can deter him from ever leaving us, ignoring us, or
treating us unkindly. He will love us no matter what.  It is his nature to
love.  That is why he created us - to be united with him and to share in
his love and unity (1 John 3:1).  God is a trinity of persons - Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit - and a community of love. That is why Jesus
challenged his followers and even his own earthly family to recognize that
God is the true source of all relationships. God wants all of our
relationships to be rooted in his love.

A research team from Oxford University in Cambridge, England, and the

radiation from plutonium degrades zircon-based ceramics far faster than
previously estimated - in 1,400 years, rather than the 250,000 years that
waste-management experts had suggested. Zircon has been touted as a useful
material for immobilizing plutonium for storage in underground
nuclear-waste dumps. (Plutonium used in nuclear reactors must be isolated
for 250,000 years to ensure it becomes harmless, scientists say.) The
results appear in the current issue of the journal Nature.

[NF] New concept to winForm controls and other .NET 3 items.

2007-01-17 Thread srussell
Even though there are plenty of resources available for the new Microsoft
.NET Framework 3.0 I found this introduction pretty simple and upto the
point.

Here is a gist of the different pillars of .NET Fx 3.0,

[NF] 51 holes to plug? Is that all

2007-01-17 Thread srussell
And you thought it was a rag on M$ now didn't you ;-

http://tinyurl.com/2mll95

Oracle has released its first critical patch update for 2007, with fixes
for a total of 51 security vulnerabilities in a wide range of enterprise
products.

The Redwood City, Calif., database server giant's patch batch covers
serious holes in Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle
Collaboration Suite, Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications, Oracle
Enterprise Manager and Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise and JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne.

The most serious of the 51 flaws carry a CVSS (Common Vulnerability
Scoring Standard) base score of 7.0.


So security and thinking that you got it right the first time is never
going to happen.  Now is it?

[NF] OO upgrade path?

2007-01-16 Thread srussell
http://www.theregister.com/2007/01/08/openoffice_bugs/

The security bugs stem from flaws in the image processing components of
the packages involved in handling common graphic formats, WMF and EMF, as
explained here. As a result users who open malformed documents using
vulnerable versions of the software are liable to become infected. These
heap-based buffer overflow flaws were discovered by security researcher
John Heasman of NGSSoftware, the UK-based security software tools
developer.

OpenOffice users are advised to upgrade to versions 2.1.0 respectively to
guard against possible exploit. Users of StarOffice version 6,7 and 8 need
to apply relevant patches from the SunSolve website as explained here. ®

[OT] Chain Letter

2007-01-12 Thread srussell
A real man's chain letter!

At last This chain letter was started in hopes
of bringing relief to other tired and discouraged
men.  Unlike most chain letters, this one doesn't
cost anything!

Just send a copy of this letter to five of your male
friends who are equally tired and discontented.
Then bundle up your wife and/or girlfriend and send
her to the man whose name appears at the top of the
following list, and add your name to the bottom of
the list.

When your turn comes, you will receive 15,625 women.
One of them is bound to be better than the one you
already have.

At the writing of this letter, a friend of mine had
already received 184 women, four of whom were worth
keeping.

This chain also brings good luck.  One man's pit
bull died, and the next day he received a Playboy
playmate.

An unmarried Jewish man living with his widowed
mother was able to choose between a Hooter's
waitress and a Hollywood super model.

You can be lucky too, but DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN!
One man broke the chain and got his wife back again.


Let's keep it going, men! Just add your name to the
list below.

to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'
