As machines get added and removed from Active Directory domains, you eventually end up with a bunch of records for machines that no longer exist. In order to make sure that the dead AD entries for PC’s and Servers that you are about to delete are actually dead (or at least very, very close to dead), …

Really, does the #1 team overall need 15 minutes to make their pick? They should be given about 18 seconds to make their pick. And the #2 team? Maybe 5 minutes. Actually, every team should get no more than 5 minutes. All these teams have employees whose whole role in life is to be prepared …

This week, we are setting the Wayback Machine to the 1990’s. There was plenty of great music during that decade. Unfortunately, there was a ton of rubbish, much of it packaged under “alternative”. Hopefully I’ve been able to weed out most of the rubbish “alternative” and keep the good “alternative”. The playlist is pretty much …

YES! Some fine person copied his pristeen vinyl to MP3’s and shared them on the Internet. I found them on eMule, but other locations may have it. I only ever had these albums on tape and they are great afro-influenced jams, definitely the best of the Thompson Twins when they were more interested in exploring …

I would have so fallen flat on my face and whiffed on the ball trying to take this shot. Meanwhile, Lukas Podolski makes it look like the easiest shot ever. I mean really, the ball came over the top of his head, he pokes his foot out and is able to power the ball past …

This week we’re going with the Thompson Twins. Discard your thoughts of lighthearted 80’s new wave pop. These guys were really damn good, though they kind of lost it during their later sell out period (the albums “Big Trash” and “Queer” sort of sucked). The highly overlooked “Close to the Bone” may have been their best. Unfortunately, …
