After you win the Wii at the 1E booth (311) at MMS and you have made Pro on all the sports, have made all your family members and friends into Wii peeps, the next logical step is to stream all your music and videos with it from your PC upstairs to your Wii downstairs in your media room. XBox does this out of the box (no pun intended) from what I have heard, since my daughter is only in second grade and my son is just in junior high they aren't quite ready for an XBox, plus I suck at video games...

I have an advantage, my son is in seventh grade and my daughter is finishing second, so all those geography questions, and factoring, I have done them recently. But the real question is are you smarter than a seasoned ConfigMgr admin? Find out by taking some the ConfigMgr quizzes, recently updated and located here . If you take them post your scores in the comments section and I will buy the winner lunch at MMS. Configuration Manager 2007 Client Installation Quiz Configuration Manager 2007 Client...

If you don't know I am a HUGE OneNote fan and have converted countless people from using Notepad, Notepad2, Word, paper, you name it to using OneNote since it first came out in Office 2003. (If you are only interested in the the list of OneNote PowerToys, skip this section and scroll down). Some of my favorite things are the ability to write anywhere, assign "tags" to notes, copy and drag from anywhere, any application, webpage, pdf - anywhere into a OneNote page, and have it enter...

I have gotten a ton of emails asking me if I am going to be at MMS this year and when and up until now I have held off because I was waiting for some things to finalize. But today 1E sent out an email to customer letting them know the booth number, and when Sumir, one of the founders of 1E, was going to speak. Which is right after the State of the Union, and also at the same time as Paul Thomsen is presenting his session on ConfigMgr Client Health. So yes , I will be there from Sunday to Friday afternoon...

Most IT related folks have an old laptop laying around that is too slow for what they need to do or they get a brand new one every six months. I know I have one that the hard drive has bad sectors on and don't want to spend the $40-60 to get a replacement drive since I have over half a dozen computers in my house and only four people. I have used it for testing in the past, setting up Server 2003 with SMS 2003 on it for upgrade testing to CM, testing the 1E products in different configurations...

This is rather interesting. Apparently Microsoft is going to release Google Earth backwards on Feb 27th. Meaning that instead of zooming and panning in on Earth you will be able to do the same with cosmos! This should be quite interesting. It is reported that they will use 10 Earth bound telescopes as well as the beleaguered Hubble telescope to produce an explorable cosmos for your desktop. It will be interesting to see how they deal with distance for the stars as this is always been the major problem...

Napkin PC Concept Utilizes Multi-Touch E-Paper Display and RF Technology We have all doodled an idea or a bit of important information on a napkin at one point or another, but designer Avery Holleman takes it a step further with the Napkin PC. The device is intended to help creative groups collaborate on designs more effectively. Here's how it works: data is sent to the multi-touch e-paper "napkin" interface via the pen using short range radio frequency (RF). The pen and the napkin...

First of all, Happy New Year, and may everyone find that in 2008 that your glass is more than half full, you and your loved ones are all very healthy and overly happy, that your careers are very prosperous, and that you gain all that you desire and more.

I used to hate the second Tuesday of every month. I honestly liked it better when patches were released as they were ready. What happens with the scheduled updates is that everyone knows that it is coming and that means that everyone expects their SMS Engineers to have the patches deployed that night, no matter how late, no matter how many people, no matter what! And on Wednesday morning, usually around nine, everyone wants to know the status of the deployments. For me I had some advantages, one...

Did you know that Vista natively supports partition resizing in Windows Vista? If you go into Computer Management and navigate down to Storage, and then Disk Management in the right window pane you can select a volume, shrink that volume by right clicking on the volume and selecting Shrink Volume. This will open a dialog box to shrink the volume where you can configure how small you would like to make it, of course it cannot shrink it past the size of the data on the drive, if you want to completely...

The amount of storage you can get with a free online email account now is probably 10x's larger than your first hard drive. I have used Gmail since it was by invite only and it still works great the SPAM filtering works very well and I like the way the conversations only take up a single line, indicating how many in the thread and if it is unread. One thing I would like to see is folders, Stars are okay, and labels help, but folders would be great. The mail search is the key benefit I get from...

Late last year I first posted about Vienna, the next version of Windows. It has changed code names again and is now called Windows Version 7. Let's hope it is better looking than Windows Version 3.15. It is due out in 2010, which puts on a four year release cycle instead of three, but is better than five. As some still struggle with the reasoning behind upgrading to Vista it looks like they will still offer support for 32 bit computing instead of 64 bit only in 2010. Which means that if your...

Some of you that know me know that I hate movies. I think they are a waist of time, are far too predictable, they are all the same stories retold, going to see a movie is far too expensive, their are annoying, rude people that surround you, the chairs are uncomfortable compared to mine at home, and so on.

If you've still got any amount of fondness for the Amiga brand in you, you'll be happy to hear that the old-timey PC maker is planning on releasing two brand- spanking-new PCs next week. Amiga's still using the PowerPC architecture, which makes it unlikely that you're going to be running Windows Vista on it natively....

It allows you to quickly split large files without recompression and quality loss and save the results into new files. The program also works as an automatic MP3 splitter. A build-in audio player lets you listen to audio files (with adjustable speed) and then split them with automatic track numbering. You can automatically split MP3 and WAV files into equal-sized parts (using time, size or number of parts...

If you have not looked at the Windows Live Toolbar I would suggest it for a couple reasons, first if you are still using IE6 it gives you tabbed browsing. The second is you can search the myITforum site directly from the search field in the toolbar with this button! To create the toolbar buttons you can go one of two routes. The first is to design it through their website, this is pretty straight forward, you can select your links and put them, your search link, RSS, tags, button icon, etc. It will...

My son and I built this on Saturday . The wife is sick so we can get away with pretty much anything as long as we time it while she is sleeping and have it relatively cleaned up before she awakens from her slumber. We did make one modification to it, instead of using a weighted item we used a rubberband and attached it to the base. This gave us the ability to modify the amount of tension on the arm for different objects. It worked as planned, ours didn't have wheels, we figured we didn't need wheels...
