If you follow my twitter feed (http://twitter.com/crutkas), you may have noticed my Lenovo x300 was being much like a spoiled child today.  For the life of me, I couldn’t keep it stable.  I had the svchost.exe that controlled some pretty critical stuff decide to go nuts on me for some random reason.  It was so bad that I couldn’t even launch task manager.  It was like Chernobyl. So I went home and saw I had a few day old back up of my data.  I backed up data I knew was brand new, put in my PC...

I had the honor of being on This Week on Channel 9 talking about my top 5 (I squeezed 7 technically in) of my favorite tools I must have on my computer.  I co-starred with Scott Hanselman (It is fun to annoy him by mispronounce his last name) These are from my post earlier on tools but here is what I talked about 1.

I've been poking around SubText's SQL area and it can be done but not very effectively since how things get updated.  I can modify subtext_GetConditionalEntries with "AND DateAdded < getdate()" but when you update the post and want to modify the viewable date, this isn't enough.  So I thought the DateUpdated would work and it would work for the 1st time you post but afterwards, it updates with the current time, not the wanted to post time.

I have about 15 gigs worth of photos with another 5 gigs unsorted.  I also have an full flickr account.  With PhotoSync and my WHS, the world will never be without whatever random crap I'm doing that day, like figuring out a plot to go curling this Thursday when I'm in Fargo.  That's right, I'm going curling and you're not.   HAHHAHA, I will finally be able to say I've done it!  Man, I wonder how long this will take to upload. http://www.flickr.com/photos/betterthaneveryone <-- seriously, I love my domain name SO much.  And yes, if I could, I'd marry it ......
