Found this great little guy for when I need a streaming video player for projects. You could write your own, but why spend the time and have less features? this little player is awesome!

Simple Viewer is always great for those minimalistic but uber-professional image galleries. Always loved for its visual impact.

I wake up Monday, expecting it to be like any other. I mosey around for a little while, get a few computers fixed that I have been waiting on software and parts for, pay a few bills, and get ready to start my work day. The prior Friday, I had spoken briefly with a customer about her Quickbooks acting funny when she was trying to start it. This was just the start.. little did I know I would get bombarded with Quickbook issues almost all day! I am a mobile computer technician and support many local businesses, so when something doesn’t work, I’m getting a call to get over there and fix it asap.
I make my way over to my first (and last, I thought) onsite appointment of the day. I get there and am confronted with a computer that has three different versions of Quickbooks installed on it. 2005, 2007, and 2008 are all listed in the control panel add/remove programs dialog. To begin, I try running 2008. It pops up the loading screen, waits there for about 30 seconds or so, then disappears entirely.. it was like I hadn’t even clicked it. No error, no alert, nothing.
Solution:
1. Uninstall .Net using the Microsoft .Net Cleaner Utility. You can download it here.
2. Download and install the latest .Net Redistributable Package. I installed .Net 2.0, available here.
3. Download and install the latest Quickbooks Update Patch, available here.
4. Reboot, and enjoy your working version of Quickbooks 2008!
I have used the Apache web server for years. I run it on almost all my servers and I have been very happy with the performance and reliability. I have had systems running Apache with up-times exceeding 3 years! It is a great open source application that I could not do without in my daily business. As a way to give back to the Apache community I have decided to start a website dedicated to the latest opinions, tips, troubleshooting, and general information about the Apache web server project. It is called the Apache Community and will showcase one of the most extensive Apache resources available on the net! Join the community and chat with other Apache users, from novice to expert!
The new CA Lighting Sprints website is now officially online. I’ve been putting together the latest (and greatest, from a management point) update to the site. It is now a lot easier to manage for the board and is a lot cleaner code-wise than the past versions of the site.
With a million projects always going on and being in a perpetual state of looking towards tomorrow… your daily routine can seem daunting. Thats when you suck it up and get on with what you need to get done. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about some changes I’m going to be making in my life.
With the two close deaths I’ve had to deal with lately, my perspective of our time on this earth has been slightly changed. I want to enjoy the time I spend here and promote the message of living your life to the fullest.
With that, I leave you to contemplate… do YOU live your life as well as you could or should? Ask yourself this question regularly and make changes to live it.
