Articles like this are why I love Scott Kurtz and PVP Online. Scott is SO right-on. My kids would play games all day every day if I would let them. And if they weren't doing that they would watch cartoon network. And if they weren't doing that... And if they weren't doing that, they MIGHT go outside.

Fortunately, I have joined the country club and take my kids swimming for about two hours a day. Unfortunately, i think this is the only excersize they get.

It's no coincidence that all of my friends developed weight problems at about the same time we got our vic-20s and Atari consoles.

Penny Arcade! - Do You Hear What I Hear

Penny Arcade! - Do You Hear What I Hear

Someday, airlines are going to figure out the stark terror that they invoke, and they're going to just start injecting passengers with Morphine at the door or something. I'd pay an upgrade fee for that, baby.
I know more people with prescriptions for zanex or whatever just for this reason ...

Computing.Net - A batch file for rename

Computing.Net - A batch file for rename
You can do a substring in a batch file in the following way:
echo %filename:~3,9% - this will echo the variable filename starting at character 3 and going through character 9

This can be combined with the for /f command or a utility like fart.exe to do some really neat stuff :)

Zaaaaaaoooooowweeeeeeee. That's fast.
Think of all the rediculous things that Microsoft could do in Word if they had 500 - 1000 Giga-Hertz to play with. ;)

WebSphere AdminConsole not starting

On WebSphere 5.1.1.3 Network Deployment:

Get an error message stating that the virtual host or webgroup /admin/ is not configured.
After verifying that the dmgr was starting without serious error, I did the following:

  • Started wsadmin.
  • Ran $AdminApp uninstall adminconsole
  • Ran $AdminConfig save
  • Ran $AdminApp install /installedapps/adminconsole.ear
  • Note that I did not install from installable apps. I don't know if this makes a difference, but it is what the linked web page recommended.
  • Ran $AdminConfig save
  • Restarted the deployment manager.

Bingo.
