De-Mate Those Cables!

I actually do have a lot to write about but I just don't have time during this last month of the year, I am extremely busy as probably most admins are this time of year--but in addition to our server migration (which still hasn't yet arrived) I had to migrate an accounting database and also a UPS database in the meantime.

It's been quite the month and I've been taking pictures just "documenting" my days. Currently I am busy in my own hell trying to organize and prepare for the server migration, here are a few shots of the BatCave.

Anyway, just remember, to pull straight out when de-mating. . .(WTH seriously?)

Outlook 2007 Hangs, Locks or Freezes When Opening An Email?

Apparently it's an old problem and I have yet to confirm if SP2 fixes this issue. However, Outlook can lock up your current window after opening an email, as if there is something that should be clicked. You'll hear the "ding" or is it "dong"? sound when you try anything else. The only way to get out of it is to kill Outlook.

This happens after you create a new profile for a user or email account in a Windows XP Pro machine running Office 2007. For some reason it doesn't seem to complete setup. To fix this problem (and a sort of a work around) is to open Word (or Excel etc) and as with most fresh Office setups, the "enter your initials" box comes up. Hit OK. Close Word and open Outlook, the problem should be resolved. I'll update tomorrow after applying SP2 if it still occurs. I may just have been late in applying this SP :-\

Behind Every Good Admin, Should Be a Good Woman

Because we'd probably starve otherwise--well I would.

Spicey Lemon Chicken, con White Rice con Green Beans, and it's freakin' good. Yeah it's almost two and I am barely eating my "lunch," go figure. Thanks for my tasty dish dear, when I get home I'm going to Scout you though.
