I’ve posted about this issue before in previous versions of Visual Studio, which received a very helpful response. The newest version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 didn’t ship with emacs support. This was later remedied by Microsoft with an emulator. Great.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m very happy about the emacs support. I [...]

I was shocked and delighted today when I found an ad on cnet.com for Sid Meier’s Civilization 5 (who says nobody clicks on ads)! Who know it came out about two weeks ago? I didn’t.
I’m not somebody you would call a “gamer,” but I do enjoy my fare share of strategy games. I’ve been a long [...]

I had such a hard time finding this song that I thought I’d provide a download for the masses here. Hopefully it doesn’t stir up any issues; it’s a great song.
[ Josh Gabriel presents Winter Kills - Deep Down ]
They say, they say
We should have known better than to
fall so deep down, deep down
into this rabbit [...]

I’m very excited! I’ll even get [...]

I fished this out of an old blog of mine. It still generates hits (believe it or not) after it’s original posting on September 10, 2006. I lost the images associated with the post, but was able to recover the body.
Last night I noticed that my C: drive (Windows 2000) was getting a little cluttered. So instead of going through and deleting temporary internet files and the Temp folders myself, I decided to run Windows Cleanup. While I was at it, I decided compressing some old files couldn’t hurt anything either. Bad choice.
BOOTMGR is compressed.
Press ctrl+alt+del to restart.
At least this error occurs without data loss. Bootloader problems are pretty easy to fix, especially the Windows 2000+ bootloader.

I moved over the weekend. Moving is a lot of work! I’ll get back to posting soon. In the mean time, wish [...]

This is a note worthy day! I received my first comment SPAM! Exciting, no? Well, ok, not really. But it does mean that search engines are returning my posts. [...]

Ok, ok, I know. Another blog?
At this point I’ve probably had 6 blogs. I’ve had a few technology blogs, personal blogs, and blogs with no content. One of my technology blogs got a fair amount of traffic, but alas, years of server shuffling caused the content to be lost. So, here I am again. I’m trying [...]
