Old BlogSo, I spent a lot of time trying to set up a simple thing: remote desktop to a Windows Server 2008. What a pain. First, you have to install both the service and the licensing server, and then configure the service to see the local license server. This is silly when you get 2 local [...]

The kids are headed back to school. My kids start next week, but a lot of folks I know headed back this week. And lots of folks are about to find out that their kids forgot a lot over the summer. I have a solution that the kids will love! I wrote a game especially [...] I’ve been using Google Apps Mail to host my mail for herlein.com for years. In fact, I was a very early adopter. I’d say I was in the beta, but hey, so was everyone! Seriously though, I was pretty early. It seemed like the thing to do. I had been hosting my own mail forever [...] As I mentioned previously, I’ve gone all Mac for my desktop needs. My old notebook is listed on eBay now. It’s a great notebook at a very fair price.

I’ve developed a .emacs file over the years to help me work the way I like to work. If I’m editing C code, my fingers are still back in the muscle memory from when I learned [...] Amazon Web Services (AWS) has added a new micro-instance. If you reserve it for three years (cost: $82) the per minute cost is a penny. Yep, a red cent. All in I think this means that the monthly cost for running a server there is under $10 per month. For that you get a decent [...] I’m really confused about why so many people are fawning over the Apple iPad. I really don’t get it. It’s an oversized and stunted iPod Touch. I read silly things like “I’d buy one just to watch movies when I travel.“ Excuse me: what???? The darn thing has a 4:3 aspect ratio! We’ve come so [...] I’ve been musing recently about how the cell phone world is split into fairly distinct ecosystems. I know I’m generalizing (I’m trying to do that to draw some generalizations) but I see the following kinds of breakdowns: iPhone Users: typically young (or want to be young), hip, and very media savvy.
