President Obama - Change we cannot count on

I am watching channel 13 on pbs and for me to have him actually say the senate version is 9/10 of what he wanted all along... This is the worst president for change. This is just like bush but less effective and more lies. Give me a President Howard Dean anytime. Thank you.

Fujitsu u810 windows 7 rc to rtm

I updated my evaluation copy (release candidate) also known as beta to a retail version of windows 7 ultimate yesterday on my fujitsu u810 and it was a nightmware. It took exceptionally long because I have no room on my drive. I basically followed the tip at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/3075/how-to-upgrade-the-windows-7-rc-to-rtm/ which after removing alot of space on my fujitsu with 768swap successfully ugpraded to retail in about.... over 4 hours.

However my perfectly working evaluation copy of windows 7 turned out to a fairly broken u810. First thing I noticed was my mouse button was moving in opposite directions. I move it right it actually goes left.

I got a weird fingerprint message about deleting credentials to use the device only to delete the fingerprint record and find out i cannot add a fingerprint because it says it requires a application to use.

My rotation is broken button is definately broken.

So I finally decided it shouldn't be difficult to just remove the fujitsu drivers and fix it that way. No luck. Now my pen doesn't really work. Rotation is not working. The led light for keyboard definately does not work. Fingerprint is not working because now I need an application which windows was handling it in the evaluation copy. Yes I tried compatibilty mode for the vista software even though it detects it as windows xp.

Well I hope this helps someone. I imaged the evaluation so I'm going go back and restore everything. From there I'm just going to have to stick it out for 6 months and hopefully fujitsu comes out with window 7 drivers.

Windows Update Problem - 403 - Forbidden

I received this error after a successful windows update a few days ago and checked today to get:

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Here's what I did which did not solve the problem:
-Deleted the windowsupdate folder
-reregistered windows update components here - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/956708
-Used windowsfix here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
-kinda did this before I realized it was for windows 95 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245142

Here's how I finally fixed it:
I checked my windows update log file at : c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log
noticed this line near the end:
FATAL: Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuweb.dll: target version = 7.2.6001.788, required version = 7.4.7600.226

internet searched wuweb.dll and found this solution at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914226

it fixed my problem but my system didn't have iuctl.dll file and I skipped part 1 because i don't have automatic updates enabled. I did have to use the unlocker program on the file wuweb.dll to change it to wuweb.old however because it was locked but that and changing the file Iuengine.dll was the solution. I was able to revist windowsupdate.microsoft.com again and there was an active x notice which I installed and now showing updates again. Unfortunately the title of that solution applied to "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page" would be a difficult one to fine. Hope this post helps someone.

ps. This might also work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104 which is to reinstall the windows update agent again cause the update corrupted it.

red t-shirt transferred color from sweat to shirt

It was a really nice shirt too. One which I wear to the office. You believe that sh$t?! The red t-shirt basically transferred color because of my sweat?! This is the first time I experienced this and now I got reddish streaks on my armpit area of the shirt. I am soaking it now but it's still red. UNBELIEVABLE.

Running Nose with alot of Mucus

For the last 3 days my nose just won't stop with the mucus. It's ridiculous and quite sick. it's actually still running right now. I'll just using the internet or on my desk and a slightly thicker than water run down to my mouth... The annoying thing is if I'm bundled up and outside it's not as bad however if I'm at the office it comes down every hour or so or even less after I blow the sucker all out of my nasal passage. I did some nasal irrigation which I thought helped but I don't know. The only fortunate thing is I'm not coughing up a storm which is infrequent at best but the nasal mucus is another freaking story. ARRRGGGHHHH

Fame - the tv series

It's funny how the mind works. As the fame movie is opening soon I can't for the life of me remember one single episode of fame - the tv series. I would be around 8-9 years old? Just feeling a bit sad and not nostalgic cause I can't remember anything about the show...
