2017 started with me taking an iron supplement and ended with me recovering from surgery to remove a neuroendocrine carcinoid tumor and four feet of small intestine at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis. Continue reading
Do you have “Offer Remote Assistance” working on your existing Windows 7 deployment? Are you doing in place upgrades to Windows 10 on those machines?
If so, you may run into a difficult to troubleshoot error when trying to offer unsolicited remote assistance using a non-administrator group.
And, that makes 13 years.
This recipe was originally posted by another local Champaign-Urbana blog that has since gone private. It is from a well known local BBQ spot, I’ve made it a few times and others wanted the recipe, so here goes.
Did you upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on your Latitude E7440? Is your wireless stuck in “Airplane Mode”? Does clicking the thing to disable airplane mode just flash at you when you click it?
If so, you need to open Device Manager and disable the “Airplane Mode Switch Collection” device under Human Interface Devices. After that, you should be able to turn airplane mode off and wifi back on. How annoying.
Update for Windows 1709 (Fall Creators Update): You need to reboot after disabling the “Airplane Mode Switch Collection” device, then wifi should start working again.
I missed it, but that’s 12 years.
Two Brocade 6505 and SC4020
Housing is still using VMware as our virtualization platform and we needed to refresh our aging storage system. Several other units on campus have been using Dell Compellent, we got an excellent price on an SC4020, so we bought one too.
And, that makes 11 years.
June 1999
As promised last week, here’s another glimpse of 15 years ago. We’ve both changed over the years, we’ve had ups, we’ve had downs, we’ve added a couple of offspring, but we’re still going strong. (Even when Alisha is pushing her comfort level to please the kids.)

What a difference 15 years, eating better, exercising more and lots of other changes can make. Yes, that is the same shirt. The jeans in 1999 were 34x32s and stretched to their limit. Today it’s 32×32 and require a belt to keep up. In 1999, I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded, now I’m running 2+ miles 3 days a week and I’ve run 2 5Ks in under 32 min each time.
I won’t mention why I was standing in front of Bill Smith Auto Parts, groggy eyed (and probably starting to get hung over) 15 years ago.
How’s that for a throwback Thursday? And, next Thursday will be another one.
