Once again I woke up with a headache, but this one wasn't too bad. It may have been caused because I was tossing and turning, wanting to make sure that I didn't miss the time change. My mind tends to get caught up in those things. Still, it was bothering me, so I took a single pill. Seems to be doing okay at this point.
I'm not wanting to get in the habit of taking extra medication, but my head was pounding again this morning, so I took another ibuprofen. Seems okay so far.
As I play more with Small Business Accounting (SBA), I actually like it more and more. It has a ways to go, but I like it. However, I want to do some testing with the multi-user settings. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the multi-user settings have broken.
While I could have sworn they were working previously, when I had no domain on the installation, now that I have installed SBA on a domain server, every time I try to work with the settings, I get an error.
Actually, I just took a single pill (100mg), but it's the last (I hope). Starting tomorrow there should be no more. We'll see how it goes from here. As long as I keep getting a good night's sleep, and eating consistently, I seem to be feeling pretty good. I hope it keeps up.
This error message comes from an incorrect DNS configuration. I think it was because my DNS was pointing to my ISP's DNS server (techncally, to my router, which pointed to my ISP).
By configuring my domain controller (DC) with DNS, which in turn forwarded requests to the ISP, and then pointing all DNS to the DC, it seemed to resolve the issue. To get the DC to rebuild the DNS, run dcdiag /fix from a command prompt and/or restart the netlogon service.
You may see this error message pop up in a dialog box while trying to login, specifically when you try and change the domain. To get the box to go away, press CTRL-ALT-DEL. To remove the problem entirely, make sure that your DNS is configured properly, by pointing the DNS servers to the domain controller for your network.
How safe is your password? Using this handy list (via) you can get some idea. The list provides several classes of password-cracking solutions. I would suggest that the Class D level, which is described as a Fast PC, Dual Processor PC, is probably the minimum. Everything below this level is based on a Pentium 100, which is pretty slow hardware these days. While not everyone has a dual processor PC, it's not that uncommon. So let's use this as our baseline.
VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a pretty full-featured media client that offers a ton of features, including one really useful one: Being able to play protected AAC files without the need for iTunes. Yes, you have to have your keys, but you don't have to have iTunes. Find your iTunes keys, copy them to your computer, and the content plays. As simple as that. Is it perfect? No, it doesn't seem to be perfect. But it's a start.
Update: It doesn't seem to work on songs purchased with iTunes 6. Sorry, didn't mean to give you false hopes.
This is my first day without Dilantin. I'm sure there may be traces of the drug in my system, but I now haven't taken any for about 36 hours, and when I did, it was only 100mg (down from as much as 500mg as recently as two months ago). But still, this is the first time in about 20 years that I'm purposely not taking any. So we'll see how it goes.
The King Buffet opened towards the end of 2005 in a building that has seen its share of restaurants. It is currently on at least its fourth go-round in at least 6 years. Immediately preceding the current incarnation was a very short-lived barbeque restaurant, that may not have even opened. I recall seeing the signs announcing that it would open, but never actually seeing it open for business.
CiCi's isn't fancy. Though the Matthews location has been remodeled in the last few months. But what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in value. For just $3.99 (slightly more if you'd like something other than water to drink), you can get a full-blown pizza buffet. That's right, unlimited trips to their buffet, featuring a number of pizzas, including bread sticks and dessert pizzas!
The Cook Out is an interesting beast because no one can seem to figure out where they're based. I've heard reports that they are out of Greensboro (NC), but they don't seem to have a web site at this writing, and it just doesn't seem to be anything that anyone can verify.
Nonetheless, the company is doing something right. Their down-home style, the original hamburgers "cooked outdoors style", the 36 "creamery" premium milkshakes and the retro styling of the building has kept the double drive-thru near our house hopping since they opened nearly six months ago.
