Web conferencing is nothing new to world. For the most part, when
we think of something like this, we tend to think of a bunch of people
sitting in some darken office. As they stare blankly at the screen, a
head without a body glimmers from a TV screen, droning on about God
knows what as his audience fights to stay awake. I believe that this
is how many people picture web conferencing.... [Continued]

I've been using this old tool for years; it has saved my caboose
(and users' machines) more times than I can count. In all this time, I
haven't had one problem with using it. In fact, it is one of the most
stable products that Microsoft has ever invented. Of course, they
don't support it - you're entirely on your own if you choose to use
it. (And that's the CYA disclaimer, folks.)... [Continued]

I've recently purchased a DVD writer after trying to convince
myself that it's time to move on to DVD media. After a struggle trying
to get two optical drives to work on a single IDE channel, I gave up
and removed my old CD-RW combo drive. But I found that the new drive
was burning DVDs at a very slow speed and utilising 100% system
resources even though my Task Manager showed minimal utilisation.

In an effort to thwart phishers, among other things, AOL has moved
to an optional two-factor login authentication system. Users are being
offered the option of receiving a secure password generator device
made for AOL by RSA Security. The device is the size of, and can
double as, a keychain fob, making it easy for a user to carry with
them at all times. The device generates a new mandatory second
password every minute [...]... [Continued]

I can relate to this article, Now What? A Career Changer's
Odyssey: The Journey Continues. Paul got laid off in March 2003, just
before kid #3 arrived. He is still out of work, but he did go to MCSE
Boot Camp to update his knowledge. Despite some of the negative things
said about certification, it was worth it. Every now and then, I get
so frustrated and don't understand why things have yet to work... [Continued]

Spin-kicking, Bruce Lee Style! (Report)

Man, I hate Mondays. Spent the better part of the day spin-kicking
a case fan that would not stop making so much noise. Oh sure, I could
have been professional about it and actually tried to troubleshoot the
problem, but what fun would that be? On a brighter note, however, I
received some great feedback regarding my questions and concerns about
moving to Vonage. While I am still a little leery about it, I might...

"Microsoft on Monday unveiled backup and recovery software for
Windows file servers that will provide continuous backup of
