Sorting Bookmarks in Firefox 3

I often find websites with information which I don’t have time to read, so I bookmark them to save them for later. In my busy schedule my bookmarks can get out of place. So you can imagine how many bookmarks I have. Firefox stores bookmarks in the order received. The latest/most recent bookmark is at the bottom of the bookmarks list.

Maxtor SSII and VMWare

I purchased a 320GB Maxtor Shared Storage II similar to this one a little over a year ago. My main reasons for the purchase was because it had 10/100/1000 gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port connection. One day I decided to turn the device off to conserve on energy and the next day it wouldn’t turn on. The device had 3 blinking amber lights. I visited the Seagate forums and it indicates my hard disc is bad. My warranty had run out and they did not provide any free services for data recovery.

Re-create the Show Desktop icon

Often times we delete things not know the full ramifications of our actions. The Taskbar is valued RealEstate especially when you have multiple applications. Hence, when XP was introduced you had the option to group similar taskbar buttons so your taskbar would be more organized. A user of mine decided to delete the Show Desktop icon from her Quick Launch. Thinking she would just re-create the short-cut when it was necessary again.

Windows, Leopards, and Penguins

In mainstream computing the typical operating systems we hear about are Windows, Leopard, and Linux. There are several other operating systems that you may not have hear about: Sun Microsystems’ Solairs, IBM’s AIX, Amiga’s AmigaOS, SGI’s IRIX, Novell’s Netware to name a few. So how do you know which operating system to choose?

AutoPatcher

I’ve used AutoPatcher for many years. As an IT professional, I have to install or reinstall new Windows operating systems all the time. If the workstations were all the same make and model I could use something like Symantec’s Ghost or Acronis True Image and Sysprep to clone the operating system, but what if they were different. I would need to install each operating system on each workstation then manually update them one by one. Easy? Only if you were working on 2 workstations. I manage servers, user support and escalated network/server issues. I cannot work on 2 workstations all day. That’s why I depend on applications like AutoPatcher.
