Bonus points if you don’t have to use google to figure out what it’s about.

Rest in Peace, you will be missed.

Vacation and Storms
We went to visit Ben and Jess in Nashville last weekend.
On Saturday, we went downtown to visit the Parthenon.

Later that afternoon, we went back to their apartment so Aunt Jess could play with Robin.

Driving long distances with a 2 month old baby is interesting to say the least, you get to see many rest areas and gas stations.

Upon returning Sunday evening, we’d been home for less than an hour and got to listen to hail hitting the roof.
Dime sized hail
Luckily the worst of the weather missed us, but other parts of Champaign weren’t so lucky.

These don’t fit in the camaro!

TechEd 2006
Yes, I will be attending TechEd 2006 in Boston.
(This is mostly so the category shows up in the list to the right.)
RIS and ISC DHCPd update
To update a previous post, if you are using ISC DHCPd, you don’t need to copy startrom.com and others around to alter the path the RIS client tries to use, you just need double slashes:
filename "\OSChooser\i386\startrom.com";
And, I’d recommend Argon’s RISme, though looking at the capabilities of RIS Menu Editor, I’d say either one are perfectly capable of doing the job.

Still at work?
Yes, I’m still at work. Updates and patches go so much easier when no one is here.
Active Directory is coming right along, 1 server reinstalled, 2 to go.
Office Clipart, WMF and TippingPoint intrusion prevention systems
(This is to get this knowledge into the Google cache more than anything else.)
If you are seeing Office applications (Word, Powerpoint, Publisher) hang when trying to insert WMF clipart from Web Collections AND your network is protected by a TippingPoint IPS device, check with your network people about signature 4054. If your IPS is running with the recommended ruleset, all WMFs that cross the device are being blocked and the Clipart manager doesn’t handle that well. The error that is returned is something like ” 0x800c000c “.
I’m guessing they rushed the signature out the door to be the first to post a press release about protecting their customers. Hopefully they will fix the signature in the future.
