ATTN: Hitting the road to ChannelCon – no/limited support until Aug 3rd or so…
Today I’m slowing down, spending a little time with the family, for tonight I embark upon the great journey to CompTIA ChannelCon in Orlando Florida. I’m driving, not straight there as I have a colleague to pick up along the way, but tomorrow we’ll begin the trek. That means that for the next week, until around Aug 3rd (I expect to return the night prior) there will be very limited support available, if any. ...

d7 & PC Repair Tracker – New feature!
If you don’t know PC Repair Tracker, then you should. I’m not going to get into why I’m starting to fall in love with this software, all the features, etc. because it is irrelevant. This post is for people who already know and use it (that and d7 🙂 A short time ago I had the pleasure of speaking with Luke, a PC tech and shop owner, who also develops PCRT. You see, I have...
ReAct v1.0
FREE for personal AND commercial usage, ReAct is a quick n’ dirty utility I wrote because I’m constantly forgetting command and reg hacks to work with Windows Product Activation. Also, it’s perhaps the ugliest utility I’ve produced to date! See pic for features (and ugliness): [wpdm_package id=45]
Google Chrome only opens in Metro on Windows 8. Reinstall fixed it, but I hate doing that. Do you have a real FIX?
I can’t be the only one… Windows 8 Pro, fully updated. Chrome Version 28.0.1500.72 m One day Chrome just decides to start opening in Metro on my main rig. Here is the sequence of events: Power outage, bad UPS, you get the picture – Chrome v27 was running at the time, in desktop mode of course. Power came back on, Windows 8 loads – says it is installing Windows updates. Get back into Windows and...
Windows 8 left side hot corners not working… solution here!
I’ve had this annoying issue on (only one of) my Windows 8 machines, and that is the hot corners on the left side were not working. Is that what you call them, ‘hot corners’?? Anyway… I couldn’t get the open apps list from the top left, and I couldn’t even get the ‘start button’ in the bottom left corner (although I could at least put the cursor down there and still get to the start...
dCloud Self-Hosted Now Live!
A self-hosted option for operating your own cloud environment, dCloud Self-Hosted (dCSH) is now available for users of dSupportSuite! Utilizing your own cloud reduces security risks and increases speed of cloud operations within dSupportSuite, as the information is on YOUR server and not mine (which shares bandwidth and processor power with other users of dSupportSuite and d7.) The only requirement for dCloud Self-Hosted is an internet exposed FTP server capable of FTP Passive mode. This...
New Utility: CopyToFlash
CopyToFlash is a ZERO-CLICK utility I wrote for my own need of copying content to several hundred flash drives for distribution. Basically it starts a drive monitor to detect when a flash drive is plugged into the system, and when that happens it copies the content to the flash drive, then waits on removal and insertion of a new flash drive before copying the content again to the new drive – all accomplished with ZERO...
