		<title>my first real powershell script &#8211; forcing sessions closed past a certain idle time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I consider myself fairly decent at writing scripts for windows stuff. Mostly in batch where I would consider myself a 9/10, and in vbscript where I would consider myself a 6/10.&#160; Of course the windows world is moving to powershell, and I have been slowly working on learning it. (It does help that my good [...]]]></description>

		<title>telling if tcp offload is working or not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made an earlier post about telling if the newer advanced tcp functionality included since sp2 in 2003 server, vista, w7, 2008r2, etc was working or not. The one that I neglected to include was whether or not TCP offloading was really working or not.
All you need to do is run this command while traffic [...]]]></description>

		<title>the vista snipping tool (where is it?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to use the vista screenshot tool just now and couldn’t find it. After some investigation I realized that the snipping tool is included with the “tablet pc components” in vista and w7. So if you uninstall things that aren’t needed (like the tablet pc components), then you won’t have this.
Why this is included [...]]]></description>

		<title>deleting a partition during the w7 install</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an issue tonight when reinstalling w7 where the install would not let me delete the partitions on one of the disks… they could be formatted, etc, but the delete button was grayed out for some reason. Why it did this, I can’t tell you. What I finally found to fix it was this:

on [...]]]></description>

		<title>jusched.exe #fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really dislike this stupid java update scheduler already for a whole lot of reasons, but with windows 7 it’s an extra hassle, at least for me. This is because that new systray icons are hidden by default, so you can not notice the (stupid) thing running. Just now I started to use my laptop [...]]]></description>

		<title>computer upgrades</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend I made a bunch of computer upgrades.
In my main machine, called TQM, it has been upgraded recently:

in order to run more virtual machines, the upgrade from four 1 gb sticks of ram to four 2gb sticks was a no brainer, and relatively cheap right now. Made a nice difference when running a [...]]]></description>

		<title>run a chkdsk under 2008r2 (or regular 2008, or w7), use all your memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I run chkdsk.exe pretty often on my machines, mainly because I’m paranoid about data integrity since I have a lot of data spread across many hard drives. On my server I was trying to run chkdsk.exe on a couple of drives at once, thinking I could save myself some time. 

When the machine slowed down [...]]]></description>

		<title>compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl) failures &#8211; from Home Depot and Costco suck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
I replaced all of the incandescent bulbs in my house about 2.5 years ago with CFL’s in an attempt to save energy and be “green”. Unfortunately, the burnout rate on the bulbs that Home Depot and Costco are selling aren’t just high.. they are so high that it makes these bulbs a total ripoff that [...]]]></description>
