Few items FYI

Several things are in the air this morning. Rain and wind are prevelant and everyone is hoping the twisters don't show up. That time of year. Hope everyone enjoyed the first day of Spring.

The Calendar project is coming along. The ability to post across a network has been refined with one minor glitch. The resident server calendar has to be refreshed after every entry. There has to be a way to overcome this problem. I've two workstations posting to the server and this is the only major obstacle not overcome. Great utility for businesses that have active schedules.

If you want to try your hand at software manipulation go to Sunbird and download the Calendar. Then you can Google search for related sites or contact the beach house crew for any info we have gathered. Remember, the whole concept is to develop a network calendar that is static on the server (or a designated workstation on a peer to peer network) which can be posted to by various workstations automatically updating with each post.

Has anyone had a problem with Nero 6.6 latching their PC momentarily? I was offered an upgrade from the software just installed a month or so ago and took advantage of it. Nero 6.6 is the problem because after it was uninstalled all devices returned to a normal working state. My new DVD burner and old DVDROM are much happier with the older version. Hep me!

Grasshoppa has a great article about Jump Drives at SouthernPhried. He's a neat phreak and decided to clean the drive...just go read the article, it's kewl. There are many good articles in the archives and the resident techs are beginning to make posts on a regular basis once again. Please understand, if you post here with a problem I'll help if possible. Usually that means talking to one or more of the phriedites for help. Just click on comments at either site and fire away!

Yes Robin, I still have the Elvis birthplace pictures. They'll be posted soon. Yes, I am trying to get a picture of Arnold. Remember, they are nocturnal animals and I think Arnold is off somewhere courting. He was seen early yesterday and there were two wobbling figures headed towards the woods; just a 'hunka hunka burning possum love'. Yeppers, Spring is in the air.
