Life of Brian (

A couple years ago I bought a Hauppauge 1600 to go into my Home Theater room . It worked great with Vista, but like many IT Pros after many tweaks and configuration changes I decided to reinstall. Well little did I know that I had lost my...
I admit it…I have issues with email. So much so that I think I may have OCD. I’m not trying to make fun of anyone that really has that disorder but I sure feel like I’m obsessed with unread email. I can’t stand it in fact. When...
Everyone has there own reason for loving or hating April Fools Day . For the last 4 years it has been a day of great joy for me. I got the email shortly from Microsoft that I was re-awarded my MVP for Directory Services! I really think...
Just saw that a good friend and former co-worker FINALLY has a blog up. Jason’s blog is geared toward PowerShell and it already has some nice posts as well as some videos on PowerShell. I’m so far behind on the PowerShell curve but i’m sure...
I haven’t followed up on my trip to Israel late last month. What a great place to visit. I stayed at the David InterContinental which is a really nice hotel on the south side of Tel Aviv. The beach there was great. The sea is so warm...
You know I haven’t had a personal post about me and my life in quite some time. Just thought I’d share that next week I’ll be traveling to Israel for the first time. I’ll be staying in Tel Aviv and am really excited about being there for two...
Wow...I can't believe i've been awarded my MVP in Directory Services again!!! This is my third year in a row and i'm honored again. It really does go to show that karma is alive and well. Brian
I read a few weeks back that Microsoft extended their warranty on the XBOX 360 for an additional 3 years. I was kind of surprised that Microsoft did that since it is rare to see a company react that way to customer complaints. Not that I think Microsoft...
Now that my home theater room is 99% complete it is time to update my computer. The reason being is that my current computer is too large and not powerful enough for what I need. Let's start with power… How does an Intel QX6700 Core 2 Extreme sound? One...
I was pleasantly surprised to get the email regarding my MVP renewal. This is my second year and I'm just as excited and thankful this time around as the first! I have to say the MVP summit really got me excited about wanted to work with technology even...
Just got back from the MVP Summit and all I can say is that it was GREAT! There were so many great people there so much sharing of knowledge. During the Keynote which was done by Bill Gates a former co-worker of mine got up to ask a question. He went...
Quick little update on the happenings of the room . Matt came over today and helped install the fan and mount the TV to the wall. I can't stand installing fans and this one finally went up after dropping each of the screws at least twice off the top of...
You know it's about time I write about a concern I have with Google and some of the services they provide. Today's rant is on Gmail . Google first introduced Gmail back in March of 2004 to 1,000 people and was available by invitation only. Gmail touted...
Last night around 11:30 I went to Wal-Mart because I heard they were going to get 20 Nintendo Wiis . When I got there, there were about 30 total people waiting in line. I felt pretty good because there were several families and at my count I was about...
Thought it was time to give another update to the Home Theater Room . The couch (black) has arrived at the store and I'm trying to figure out when I want to have it delivered to the house. I still have a TON of work on the gutting the office. I hope to...
For quite some time now I've been neglecting my office. I'm not really sure why that is. Perhaps that I'm in love with Sami's Dual Core I-Mac running XP or it may be that I really hate going upstairs to work…I admit with age comes laziness. Sami and I...
I just tried registering my MSMVPS.com account with Word 2007's blogging ability and had some problems. I finally got it working but thought I would share my findings with you and with this help post a test blog to ensure it works…boy if it...
My good friend Spike Xavier with the help of Dan Wahlin have written a new song called DLL Hell . They are introducing a new type of music called Rock .Netal to world. They came up with it carpooling to work. You see, carpooling is not only good for saving...
Last night my wife Sami and I went to go see Jackass 2. This was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. We had never seen the first one but occasionally would watch the TV show along with Wild Boyz and Bam's show. I honestly couldn't stop...
