Holiday Road Toll

I could have easily posted about something much less serious, like how much the PlayStation 3 is rocking right now, but I've decided not to, not this time.

I've been driving home a little earlier the past few weeks, especially the week just gone. I've noticed the traffic headed home from Kingaroy to Nanango right after 5 is a little more aggressive than I'm used to.

I'm no angel, I set my cruise control just over 100 km/h. I like to live dangerously... With my cruise set at around 105km/h I get overtaken by car after car all the way home, they all pass me like I'm parked on the side of the road.

I normally couldn't give a crap about how fast someone drives, slower people tend to annoy me much more often, hello Toyota drivers, I'm talking to you nimrods! But, with the Christmas season approaching quickly, now is the best time to slow down. There will be more people on the road, driving further than they normally do and driving with the lovely distraction of their kids. That's the part that scares me the most. How would you like to kill someone else's kids? How would you like to kill your own? What would you do to someone if they harmed you kids by acting like an idiot? Slow down, No, not Toyota driver slow, 100 km/h is fine, even 110 km/h, I don't care, just slow down.

PSLoggedOn Getting Started on Windows Server 2008 R2

Image
PSLoggedOn is a tool I downloaded to allow me to find out which computers a user is currently logged on to. Getting it up and running wasn’t exactly easy. I’m running a Windows Server 2008 R2 test environment. The first error I encountered was: Error browing network: The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available. Note: I kept the spelling mistake from the error message to make it easier to find via search engines. To get past this error, you have to enable and start the “Computer Browser” service. Then I started getting the error telling me that the Administrator is not logged on. That’s simply not true because I am logged onto another server (Name: ELARA): I turned the firewall OFF OFF OFF (It is a test network after all). I enabled Network Discovery and to do that I went on a service starting frenzy: DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host, Computer Browser After all that, I ran the script against the se
