HP Compaq nx7400 quirks
I was trying to install windows 2003 on my portable after I uninstalled vista from it. When I ran setup it didn’t find any harddisks. Not kowing that this portable has got a SATA Hd I tried dozens of tricks to get the thing going, but none were succesful. Finally a couple of hours later I read on a forum that the little bastard has got a bios setting called SATA Native Mode and that I should set that to disabled. When I did this everyhting was fine and I could install my other OS.
Giveaway of the day
On this site they give away a software that normally isn’t free. In general it are not that interesting titles, but now and then it’s something nice to have.
Anyways I’ve placed their “banner” on my blog you can find it when you scroll down underneath the link(s) section.
And these people represent you…
Last friday we had an unannounced strike at our national airport. Many reactions came to this strike but 1 in particular was rather shortminded and just plain stupid. I believe it was the Society of Flemisch Traveling Agencies (VVR) that said the following: “In the US the strikers would have been fired, in Russia they would disappear in working camps and in China they would be quietly executed.” Come on What kind of message are you sending when you make statements as these in the press??? I really was perplexed!
Old posts imported
I’ve been able to import my posts from the old blog. However I’ve lost all the comments and tags on them. I also have to edit those that are layed out incorrect and assign the proper categories to them.
Anyways they are here 
New blog and yes I am a traitor to my religion
Altough I’m a strong believer of the .Net evangely I have switched blogging engines from community server (100% .net) to WordPress (PHP & MySql). It’s because I feel limited by the community server features and it still does not achieve the same level usability as WordPress does. So here we are. I’m going to look for a way to import my posts from CS to WP, but that might take a while because I’m still investigating this.

Think twice
Today I arranged that I would go to my company to set up some software in the evening. We have got a server there that we used to run some test vm’s on. On this server there was a paper taped to it stating that nobady should shutdown or disconnect the server. I’ve been gone for only 2 weeks on a mission now only to find out that the server had been replaced. Okay I was already pissed about that because I explicitly asked not to turn of the machine. They moved it after a power outage but not only did they move it to a location where there is no working network available. They even managed to connect the useless networking cable to the wrong interface.
You can say well is that so bad? Well yes actually this proves that they just were lazy and moved it alltogether plugged in some wires and pressed the powerbutton hoping that everything would be okay. It’s my opnion that when you want to do something that has been explicitly prohibited you could at least ask the person who knows about these things before doing something stupid.
Even if they succeeded in plugging the network cable in the correct interface the machine still was useless because it needs to have certain things restarted for it to have any use.
Anyways I really was disappointed in the lack respect for other people’s work, you just don’t do something like that.
