On my main machine, a T60 Thinkpad, I’m still using XP. Next month, I’ll be getting a new Thinkpad which I’ll install Vista 64 until then I’m still dealing with a small problem. When I’m at work with the dual monitors every thing runs just fine but when I get home and restart some apps they are stuck on the non-existent second monitor. Sometimes, I’m able to get into the registry and change the X, Y window coordinates but most time I’m stuck. Until now. To get the window back right click on the application in the task bar and...
I'm back. It's been a long time since my last post. Since then Alexa is 1.5 times older, I've been promoted at work, I've gotten more involved at church and I'm busier than ever. I did have a good logical reason why I stopped blogging but I'm going to save that for later. I've also been able to move the blog from .Text to Community Server thanks to Kevin Harder and his migration tool. I was able to move web hosts as well. I'm still going to keep the personal stuff on Jorriss.com and the technical stuff at Jorriss.net. The design of...

Here’s an interesting article on the ten rules for web startups. Is it easier now to start a web company than ever before? Yup! But the key is in the idea. If the idea sucks the site will too.Now Playing: Third Day - King of Glory
I'm gonna need this for later. How to Make a Category 5 / Cat 5E Patch Cable.
This is the coolest do it yourself project that I’ve come across in months. Systm, the IP TV show, has an episode on how to create your own audio visual cables. Now you don’t have to pay fifty bucks for one monster cable! The great thing about creating your own cables is that you can create them for specific lengths. So what are you waiting for? Create your own cables today!Now Playing: - cgs-episode059
This weekend Lucy and I attended the Night of Joy concert festival at Walt Disney World. We brought along our Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300D SLR camera. We bought this camera so we could use our SLR lenses with it. One of those lenses is a Sigma 70-300mm lens. When I tried to use this lens at Night of Joy I was receiving an error 99. This would of been a perfect time to use the lens being in the middle of all of those concerts but alas it didn't work. I did some research on this error and it appears that...
Because I’ve been using the phonetic alphabet way too much over the past two weeks here is the NATO phonetic alphabet.
The new PSP v2.0 firmware is now available for download. This is what we’ve been waiting for people. This is the update that installs a web browser on your PSP. From the sounds of it the browser might actually be pretty capable with sizing features and *gasp* tabs. Grab this one folks. Via Scoble. Update Instructions: - Connect your PSP to your PC via USB cable. - Goto the directory /PSP/GAME/ in your memory stick. - Create a sub-directory named "UPDATE" (MUST be uppercase) - Copy the downloaded PBP file into this directory. - Rename it to "EBOOT.PBP" (MUST...
I’ve got to check the Channel 9 Video feed more often. Channel 9 posted a ten minute chat with MS head honcho Steve Ballmer. It’s an interesting video. The one thing that I found surprising was Ballmer’s energy. I always thought that his energy level was more of a sales pitch thing than anything else. Kinda like the way radio DJ’s are always over exaggerating things. But it seems like he’s really like that. Now it could be that he’s just hamming it up for Channel 9 but I don’t think so. Note to self: a good leader should...
