More Proof that Programmers are Nuts
Have you heard of the “Facial Hair Theory“? Until yesterday I was unaware of it. But now I understand why I have to grow a beard. For those not interested in JavaScript, watch until you just can’t stop laughing, and then continue until you stop understanding what is written on the screen. Enjoy
How To Reset Your Windows Password (If You Can Log-in As An Admin)
The laptop I use has a fingerprint reader so I rarely (if ever) write a password to enter my windows account. Today the fingerprint reader didn’t work (probably something to do with my KVM switch being connected or some other strange mixture of variables) and when I wrote my password… it told me it was wrong! I tried a number of passwords, but nothing happened. I read some blog entries on how to reset the password but nothing worked… And then I thought… Hey, I am an administrator. If I can log-in with my regular username, I can create another … Continue reading

Book Review – Going Postal
As I mentioned in a previous post, I should have read Going Postal book before reading Making Money, because it gives some interesting background on the characters that appear in both of the stories, and reading Making Money before Going Postal does spoil some of the fun.

Book Review – Moving Pictures
After a few months of reading books in their natural form (you know… paper. Remember?), my pad (an Archos 10.1, pretty cheap stuff, not fancy like an IPad but OK and a third of the cost), or through my car’s speakers, my Kindle was revived by an amazon gift certificate that a friend gave me for my birthday (thanks!). It was the perfect occasion to read all of the Discworld books missing in the list (You CAN read them in disorder, but sometimes this will cause you to miss good jokes). After reading in some books in my pad and going back to … Continue reading
