Much has changed in the life of Leif and with that a new site is needed. Look forward to more ramblings, more gadgets, sharepoint, SQL, & server stuff as well as a new photography section. Give me maybe… 2-3 days and then we’ll have updates every few days. kthxbye!

  Being in IT is a funny job. I often get told I don’t have the personality of an “IT guy” whatever that means. I don’t know if those words are synonumous with “mouth breathing basement dweller” but I see myself more as the personable sales type than the nerdy tech-monkey that I get to [...]

I have ran across some difficult software in my life… teaching myself photoshop & SQL, learning autoCAD at a previous job, or even working with the Crestron proprietary automation software for my home. These are all “Elmo Learns to Read” compared to Blackberry’s latest bastard, BES 5.0. In a world where most every other mobile [...]

In the last 60 days life has gone crazy. Work has taken up almost all of my time which happens occasionally as it’s very ‘peaks and valleys’ at the office. Between punch out and punch in we’ve had my son’s second birthday, I’ve spoke at two conventions (ironically one of them was about Web 2.0 [...]

I’ve discussed this before but we’re HEAVY Sharepoint users at work as it’s an excellent way to store content that you just can’t find a place for in your other systems. We use Datasheet/lists like crazy to keep up with business that has been closed/not close and what company we wrote the business with, premium, [...]

I recently upgraded our mail server at work from a Windows 2003 box running Exchange 2003 to a 64-bit Windows 2008 box running Exchange 2010. There were some things that were extremely well documented both online and an e-book I bought called Exchange Server 2010 Unleashed but there are a few issues that I think [...]

…at least according to me. I don’t know what this particular disorder is classified as but anytime I am in the midst of a project and Tiffany asks, “how long/much longer will this take” my response is always, “20 minutes!” A lie… possibly. But I sleep better at night thinking it’s a misinterpretation of what [...]

…at least according to me. Morgan you are an asshole I don’t know what disorder it’s classified as but anytime I am in the midst of a project and Tiffany asks, “how long/much longer will this take” my response is always, “20 minutes!” How long to finish my Home Theater that I’ve been working on [...]

OH NO NOT THIS AGAIN!!! Yes, that’s right! I’m spending more time trying to get you to watch movies that, either good or bad, will still rock your face off if you have a great viewing room or killer sound system. Once again the categories are Picture Quality (wooo pretty), Surround Sound, and Subwoofer/LFE. Here’s [...]

If there is one question I get asked the most from friends, family, readers of this blog, and just people being weird when I’m at the big box electronic store it’s, “Can you recommend me a TV?” The question alone is a double edged sword as it’s sometimes not a request for help or that [...]
