I almost missed another one of my small moments in the spotlight! My cellphone battery had died and I hadn’t taken the time to turn it on until about 8pm on December 29th, 2010. Once I did I had a nice surprise! SETI@Home had chosen my profile (out of 1,144,744 users) to be featured as their user of the day on their homepage!

Update 2011-07-06: Support for Windows 2008+ servers has been added as well as handling stand-alone vs. clustered servers.

I had some 32-bit Access 2007 Databases that I wanted to configure as Linked Servers on my 64-bit SQL 2008 R2 server. Seemed simple enough, however, I ran into a couple bumps along the way. For instance, every time I tried to add the database I got the following error:

I was installing the latest Citrix Web Interface (v5.3) on to one of my XenApp 6.0 servers this week and came across some issues. The server had never had the web interface installed on it, but it did have IIS and some of the IIS Role Services installed.

I saw on Make.com the other day someone had added an engine to a bicycle but before they did that they completely rebuilt the entire bike! I had just finished up Jessica’s Potting Bench so I was itching to start a new project! I live pretty close to work and I have been considering purchasing a moped for my two mile commute but they’re still too expensive. After researching the laws in Wisconsin regarding “motorized bicycles”, I decided that I was going to try and do what Eric did.
