What a pain the folders are in 7. How large is your hard drive? It can hold 7,000 songs or 14,000 files. Worthless. Here’s the reg work arounds (Works like a charm):
Try:
- Run regedit
- Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\
Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
- Create Bags\Allfolder\Shell
- Inside the “Shell” key, add a new “String Value”, with the name “FolderType”.
- Modify the “FolderType” string setting the value: “NotSpecified”.

Wow…it’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything. Guess that’s what happens when you get caugh
t up on a degree. Here’s a pretty sweet color wheel that provides web-safe colors, web-smart colors, and unsafe colors. Very cool indeed!
So I recently wanted to concatenate some data using excel sheet with a list of first and last names. How do I snag just the first letter of the first name? My first thought was to dump the data into java and run a few standard string functions on the data but realized that this would be rather silly for something that there must already be a built in function for. Sure enough, simply typing in “EXCEL take first letter from cell” into Google gave me two options. #1 Concatenate (go figure) #2 Left. Left is pretty nice since the parameters are just the cell and how many characters from the left side. And there there is a RIGHT and MIDDLE function as well.

So I needed a pewter button for my pea coat. One Too Many, the screen name of a pea coat aficionado, put together this nice guide to pea coats. Also, he provided a link to the buttons at Waterbury Button. Now all I need to do is order the missing button! 
Why is it that I view a PDF, copy a section of text, paste it into a word document as a quote mind you, and it puts in some ridiculous spacing between words in attempt to stop people from copying? Seriously? What kind of security expert advises this type of behavior? Someone was paid for this attempt to make documents secure by inconvenience? HTML does not recognize additional white space so there is no effort besides the same copy and paste that you would put into an html formatted document. Two questions: What’s wrong with people and is this the level of security we can expect in the future?

Easy enough to locate using a search engine but the Wordpress Codex is actually pretty nice to review every now and then. Although blogging has not changed too much over the past couple of years, it is good to keep up with some of the lingo. Also, you may find that a few options have changed or that your needs have changed. An example would be email blogging. It may be something that wasn’t really worthwhile for you in the past but now that you have your cell phone with internet, a wordpress blog post is as easy as putting together an email with a picture and some text.
On a side-note, that logo is really cool looking. 3nhanced.com shows you how it was made and I may have to give it a shot for testing out a new IRC logo.

Ok, I’m really liking this site. I’ve seen it in the past but never had a use for it. Now that I’m using the blog a bit more, or trying to, and working on Blackboard course development, it’s a real nice way to spruce up a layout. http://www.iconarchive.com
