System Administrator Appreciation Day – July 31st, 2009

Posted by sbrammer | Computer Stuff,Weekly Update | Thursday 30 July 2009 10:05 pm

This is the one day that IT Dept’s around the world get appreciate for keeping YOUR computer running, YOUR work email and internet up, and keeps YOUR data (whether it be work-related excel spreadsheets, policies and procedures, client or customer information, or even pictures of your pet) safe from unauthorized personnel.

So, tell your IT Department thank you for doing what they do to make your life at work easier. Because if you don’t we can very easily just pull the plug and make your working environment a living nightmare…..

I hate my email right now

Posted by sbrammer | Computer Stuff,Weekly Update | Monday 6 October 2008 11:19 pm

For the last week, my primary email account (which is connected to this website) has not been working up to par. I sent a couple of emails out last week, and i was looking for a response, but did not get any. Also, i was suppose to get an email to my primary account that was also sent to my work address. I received it at work, but did not receive it at home. So, i forwarded the email from work -> home. It did not show up. During this time, i usually receive several emails to that account during the week, but received less than half of them.

So, i do some digging around with my domain settings and try something. Things seem to be working fine now. I resent those two emails and i got responses saying i sent this last week, didn’t you get this. I replied no i did not get this.

Oh, here’s something else i find interesting: some times when i click send on a reply, my reply does not go to sent items like it should. instead it goes to the folder where the original email is. So, i don’t know if it got sent or not. I assume it did.

Me not happy with this, and can’t figure out a solution and i don’t know where to start looking for a solution. Well, i do know where to start and that would be Google, but what do i type?

New Toy

I’ve had this for about one month, and i love it. It replaced a good, but old MP3 player. But this a lot more COOL features like email, apps, weather, Wifi, along with your normal MP3 music collection. If you haven’t figured it out by now, click here to find out what i bought.

I’ve download some cool apps, as well as synced up with our Microsoft Exchange email server @ work. Not to mentioned a couple of weeks ago, i hacked it (aka jailbreaking).

However i can’t seem to figure why some of the themes i install will not install 100%. everything works except the stupid background. It gives me an “encountered an error copying files” error message. So, if you know how to solve this or know of somebody who does, please have them PM with information. I have found some cool themes, but they don’t look good without the wallpaper. Thanks!

Here’s my specs:

Ipod touch with 2.0.2 update
Cydia
Installer 4.0
Winterboard
