modify your virus update schedule

@ July 8, 2003 11:50 PM in Anybody else having cookie problems on The Wall?

Whatever virus protection you use, you should have it check for updates everyday, the default is usually ONCE a week. With Symantec, you can manually run LiveUpdate to pull down the latest updates. Schedule it to run at night if you leave your machine on and you will be all set in the A.M. A free Online Virus and Security Check is available from Symantec Go here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ and click the "Free Online Virus and Security Check" link

One touch backup

@ June 17, 2003 11:13 PM in Back-up files

Maxtor makes a one touch backup system in various capacities. Very simple and effective. Essentially it is an external hard drive bundled with software. Also, CD burners are dirt cheap these days but are more time consuming. http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/external/personal_storage_5000/index.htm

Great news :)

Bundyweld ..

@ January 18, 2003 12:24 AM in unfamiliar tubing

still looks like it is made: http://www.lapham-hickey.com/Products/SteelTubing.cfm Check out this tidbit: "William, double-flaring hard lines is mandantory IF you use std steel brake line, which is also known as "Bundyweld". Bundyweld is rolled sheet steel that is furnace- brazed together to make a tube; single-flaring will almost always split it at the braze line, causing a leak. Double flared bundyweld does not split. This by the way is '30s technology that was never updated. Conversely, it is almost impossible to double-flare stainless steel tube because of the instant work-hardening it does. So for SS, I think single flare is OK- we used single flares on ss tubing in Lockheed's spacecraft w/no problems. And remember, bundyweld is the only "official" DOT-certified hard line except for Pat Mical's Future Auto ss hard lines. Don't know which flare Pat uses. J"

I have the one

metatags help

@ December 31, 2002 5:06 PM in Radiant Web Site

here is Heatboy's That other company has more To check your metatags, which do get picked up by trolling search engines, go to your main web page and click on "view source" in IE5

Good page to verify ..

@ December 27, 2002 9:39 PM in Windows XP

if they are real or not. This is the link to Symantec's security response center. On the lower left of the page is the reference area. It has links to hoax and joke fake viruses. I always check when somebody sends me something about virus such and such, and I want to make sure it is real or not. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/

Also, keep an eye on

those "tablet pC's". They maybe just what you guys need. Prices are between $1500 - $2000 http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/tabletpc/tc1000.html

manuals

@ December 15, 2002 11:31 AM in Carrying I & O Manuals in trucks. (hb)

Scanners and Cd burner's are now very inexpensive. I would try to download what I can off of the Internet preferably in PDF format. When scanning manuals and such, set your scanner to grayscale, you do not need color for the majority of them. A side benefit of doing grayscale is the scans are quicker and the file sizes are smaller. If you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat, you can convert scanned images and Word documents to PDF format. The PDF format is much smaller in size than other formats and is easier to work with. I have thrown out several large bags of paper that is now stored digitally on my computer. All of my manuals for my tools are in PDF format and easily fit on a CD.

the air quality issue. We actually have a committee formed in our town to assess this. (We had a school torn down for air quality problems). Push the benefits of radiant heat from a health issue also.

get a CLUE ..

@ October 15, 2002 4:32 PM in Mold -- The Next Crime Wave

how many homeowners know about a CLUE report? (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange, a database of homeowners' claims histories) For one good article, read this: http://www.insure.com/home/pastclaims.html Here is another from WSJ: http://homes.wsj.com/buysell/mortgages/20020605-oster.html I believe this is the web site for CLUE: http://www.choicetrust.com
