I’m sitting here in a Sharepoint class and ran across this series of steps to configure a particular option. Someone over at Microsoft has a severe alliteration fetish! Go to “Services on Server” Click “Office SharePoint Server Search” Once on the “Office SharePoint Server Search Service Settings” page, select “Use this server for serving search…
The good news: the part for my Eclipse came in and I got it back from the garage today. The bad news: $988.95
Now that the Jetta is gone (and the snow is still here) I’m selling the winter tire/wheel set I bought for it. I have a set of four 195/65R-15 DUNLOP GRASPIC DS-2s mounted on 15″ steelies (15×6) with 5-100 bolt pattern. Used on a 2003 VW Jetta. Great tread left, only used for about 7000…
Ugh. I’m sorry, but they’re bringing Knight Rider back and they made KITT into a ricer Mustang? Ok, Hollywood. Rule #1 of TV shows where the main character was a car – if you really feel the need to do a reunion, you can’t change the main character! Although, maybe since Will Arnett is now…
Mondays are why they invented coffee, and sometimes I should have multiple cups before laying hands on the keyboard. My supervisor is on vacation this week, so it is a particularly good time to NOT cause any major catastrophes. As I eased into the morning, I needed to take a glance at our agent log…
Amanda and I had the opportunity to go with Chris Byrd and Mike Miller of Broadway-Fillmore Alive to visit the former Sears building on that corner.

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up.

I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
