Work Update and On Call next week

I will be on call next week so I will do a post about getting called in for work if it happens. On March 3rd I will be at the hospital for a year. I can’t believe how fast a year has flown by. It doesn’t seem like it has been a year. How I got to know everyone in the NES group was I did my internship at the hospital. I was there for 4 months. It was very good experience. I then was a contractor for Suny OCC IT department for a year and then a month at Carrols Corporation. Crouse Hospital had an opening for someone in the NES group and they thought of me. I interviewed and I got the job. How awesome was that.

Here is a picture of my manager, supervisor and myself at the end of my internship presentation. Jason and Randy you are famous now. You guys have made it on my blog.

Facebook Update – a post about their policies

facebook_banner

Facebook is announcing a new approach that allows users to have a role in determining the policies that govern the site. They want to develop new policies that will govern their system from the ground up in an open and transparent way. They are publishing two new documents for our review and comment. The first is the Facebook Principles, which defines your rights and will serve as the guiding framework behind any policy we’ll consider—or the reason we won’t consider others. The second document is the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, which will replace the existing Terms of Use.

I like the new approach that they are heading. It is good that they are giving their users a say in what is going on on their website. They didn’t have to do this. People are going to complain so this will give a fair and balance I think. What is everyone’s thoughts about this?

Can’t create file when opening attachments in Microsoft Outlook 2003

“Can’t create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder”.
Solution:

1. Open REGEDIT.EXE and go to Edit -> Find… In the Find dialog box type “OutlookSecureTempFolder” without the quotes and locate that registry key.

2. That key will contain the actual folder location, and will look like: C:\Documents and Settings\%USER_NAME%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK#\ (where # is a random letter or number)

3. Copy the location of that folder.

4. Click on Start -> Run… and paste the folder location from step #4 then click OK.

5. Windows Explorer will open that folder. Please, delete all files present.

6. Restart Microsoft Outlook and you should be able to open your attachments.

Found the solution at: http://msmvps.com/blogs/steveb/archive/2007/08/24/can-t-open-or-save-an-attachment-in-outlook-2003.aspx

This helped a user when the user couldn’t open her file attachment in Microsoft Outlook 2003. This happens when a user opens the same file too many times. You are only allowed to open the same file 99 times before it craps out.

Apple release Safari 4 beta release on Tuesday

safari-favourites

They say it is faster then Internet Explorer 7 and Fire Fox 3. They added the cover flow feature that you see on all other applications that Apple makes. You can download it for Windows and OS X. On the Mac I still like my Fire Fox. I always never use Safari but I might have to give it a try and see how it performs. Has anyone downloaded it? If you have how do you like it?

People trying to get the most followers on Twitter

There seems like there have been in flux of people trying to get the most followers they can. I don’t really try and seek out people to follow them. If you follow me I will follow you. There are some people that you need to follow. There are some big names out. It is fun to see what they are doing.

Someone posted their website My Twitter experiment it a website about how is trying to follow the most people. How are you going to follow all of these people? I don’t really get it. I would probably warm up to the idea. I don’t know. What does everyone else think?

Foreclosure scams that are online and offline

I was watching the Clark Howard show and he had a caller on there saying that she filled out an online form to help her get out of trouble with her morgage company. So Bunch of different companies called her wanting her to give them equivalent to the first months morgage for them to help her out. The said that they would talk to her bank. This is a big scam that is going around the internet. So if you need help with your morgage you should be talking directly to your morgage company and not any thrid party companies. Be careful out there.

Here are some foreclosure scams that people are doing today

They will want you to take a Courses, Seminars and Bootcamps.
They companies want you to sign over your house before they will help you out.
It would look like someone is going to buy your property but will prolong the process until the house goes right into foreclosure.

Video Blogging

videoblogging

This is the new thing in town called video blogging. What does everyone use to do their video blogging? I know most people get the flip video camera. Which is small video camera that records 60 minutes of video. They are pretty cheap. You can get one for around $140 which is not bad. It is another thing that I want to get. You can also use your web camera to record your blogs video which is another option and probably cheaper then buying a Flip Video Camcorder, but you can’t go outside with it. Which the flip is versatile video camera. It is small that you can use inside and outside. What is everyone’s take on it?

The right to own exotic animals

white-tiger-swimming

I think yes you should be able to own exotic animals, but You need to relize that these things are not pets and don’t treat them like your family member. You have to be thinking what they are going to do, and be couple of steps ahead of them. You should have a double fenced area where they can’t escape and secuirty so one off the street can come in with out you. I think if you are going to own extotic animals you need to go to some training classes to learn how to take care of the animal that you want to own. There are alot of people that knows how to take care of the exotic animals.

In the recent news the women thought the chimp was her son and he slept with her. Right there she didn’t know what she was doing plus she couldn’t handle him any more. She was 70. I think it was time for her to give the chimp up and place him in a sanctuary where they can handle primates.

I think PETA needs stop with their tactics, they are no better then animal abusiers themselves. Have you heard they took dogs and cats from the shelters and then turned around and killed them. They dumped the dogs and cats bodies and threw them into dumpsters. PETA had a slogan on their website that said Drink beer instead of milk. How stupid is that.
