You may remember that last year I blogged about how I ditched my cable company. I got rid of all cable services and watch 100% of my television streamed to my tv via the Internet and a little program called “PlayOn.” It’s been well over a year and I am EXTREMELY pleased with it. I […]

As I type this, Atlantis is travelling over 15,000 miles an hour at the 8-minute mark of the historic last flight of the Space Shuttle program. The space shuttle engine just cut off – and will never fire again. I view this launch with mixed feelings, as I am sure most of America and the […]
Continue reading Casey Anthony: Justice Was Served

The public outrage over the acquittal of Casey Anthony has me, frankly, perplexed. I have been monitoring all the social streams, Twitter hashtags, Facebook conversations, and news outlets and the public is universally upset at the verdict. Why? The case against Casey was built entirely on circumstantial evidence. Let’s think about that. There was no […]

I connect to a client VPN often to work on their servers, their code, and their databases. My development machine is not a part of their domain, although I do have a domain account on their VPN. My problem; when I connect SQL Server Management Studio to a client database on their domain I cannot […]

(Quite a few of you have come to me for explanation of Anonymous and OpOrlando, so this is for you.) If you’re unaware, Orlando is currently under cyber-attack by the digital group known as Anonymous. The reason they are attacking Orlando is in protest of the recent arrests of members of a group called Food […]

I’m on Twitter a few days ago when I decide to search for the hashtag #patriotism. Yes, I was shamelessly looking for ways to plug my posts here on BinaryBiker.com on patriotism. My tactic, look over posts and, when it seems like it might be a fit for one of my blogs, I reply […]

June 28, 2011 0 Comments
I log into a lot of client production servers and do not have the luxury of installing my favorite GUI tools, such as UltraEdit, which (among other things) easily allows me to search within files. On these servers I am limited to what is already installed. Just today I was forced to search an entire […]

My wife and I were at a Payless shoe store near downtown Orlando yesterday. Carey complains she never has enough shoes and wanted to buy some cute little loafers that she could beat up and wear during the warm summer months. I know better than to argue when she says she doesn’t have enough shoes, even […]

…. or a bumper sticker. Or a coffee mug. Or a pen. Or any other article of clothing, business utensil, or chachkie. I noticed, shortly after 09/11, that more and more “patriotic” gear started turning up. It was everywhere I looked – and still is. It makes sense, right? America is coming together, despite our ideological […]

I bought my Corbin seat for my 1992 Nighthawk 750 about 5 years ago. Initially I loved the seat – it was a million times better than the stock seat. But, as you can see from the picture, it is falling apart fast – and I’ve put less than 7,000 miles on that seat! I have taken […]
