Setting up a Receive Connector in Exchange Management Studio is quite simple. The purposes of a Receive Connector is to allow the inbound flow of messages to your Exchange Organization. The purpose of my Exchange Connector was to allow the ability for my web sites forum users to send mail from my forum interface through my Exchange Server. Without this connector the mail intended for recipients inside my Exchange organization that an external forum user sent would get rejected.<br />

<b>Open Exchange Management Console. In left pane expand Microsoft Exchange then Server Configuration then highlight Hub Transport. Highlight Hub Transport found in the center pane.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am very new to SharePoint Administration so something such as ordering an item in Sites in the Quick Launch pane may be simple to those with more experience, but it was a bit of a challenge for me to figure it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After adding new items to Sites and refreshing my page I noticed that the two items I had added were not put in alphabetical order but rather inserted at the bottom of the list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See the screen shots below.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: small;">How
to change size of a Drive or Partition during P to V using VMware vCenter
Converter</span></span></h2>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Problem:</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Server 2003 Physical machine has an oversize or undersized drive
that you want to change during conversion. In my example the physical was partitioned with a very small C:\ and a very large E:\ drive.
After my first run at P2V of this machine I attempted to use GParted
to re-size the drives to no avail. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Solution:</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have omitted many of the steps in configuring the Conversion
wizard and will focus on the HDD aspects of it. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">When on the Options page under the Source volumes tab
of the Wizard select or deselect the HDD in question. In my
example I did NOT want to convert the E:\, which was actually
a partition that was carved out of the physical C:\. This in turn
improperly sized the C:\ at only 50GB. Not nearly enough space for a
Server 2003 machine. </span></li>

Destination layout tab on the Options page. In my example I want
to re-size the C:\ from 50GB to 65GB. In the Size/Capacity
column drop down list select <Type size in GB> and type in the size
that you desire. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">When you boot up the machine the C:\ will be at it's new 65GB size. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In my
example the easiest way for me to deal with the E:\ drive of the physical
machine was to create a new drive in vCenter then move the data over from
P to V across the network as it was not a large amount of
data.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></li>

Deleted photos off SD card by mistake.<a href="http://affordablecomputergeek.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #2288bb; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">Affordable Computer Geek of Salem MA</a> <br />
<br />
We took a trip to the dog park the other day and while shooting some pics discovered that the card was full. So from the cameras controls I deleted a handful of pictures and continued shooting. Fast forward to return home....<br />
<br />
As I have many pics from the dog park and will most likely take more I am not all that upset. But there is always a different mix of dogs and there is always that one great shot. Plus I like to share them with the dog parks Facebook page for the other dogs people. What I am upset about is the fact that I just did a downright dumb move and broke my own rules about copying pics from the card.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fast forward to return home....<br />
<br />
I will usually remove the SD card and insert it in my laptop and COPY the pics off to the laptop. Always, well almost always I copy them off THEN delete them off the card. Why I didn't do it this way this time I have no idea.<br />
<br />
Step Zero....DO NOT do anything to the storage (SD card) location. Do not remove the storage, do not delete anything else. Nothing!<br />
<br />
Once I realized what I had done I turned to two different programs to help me out. <a href="http://www.pandorarecovery.com/">Pandora File Recovery</a> and <a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva">Recuva</a>. Both free. Pandora seems to be free outright. Recuva accepts donations for the free version and also has two paid versions.<br />
<br />
Both are very easy to install and even easier to use. Probably even very easy for a novice computer user. Both did an equally good job in recovering my "deleted" photos.<br />
<br />
Why air quotes on deleted? Well without getting very in depth when you press delete on your camera or on your computer it doesn't really mean delete. Not in all situations. What happened when I pressed delete on my camera and my laptop that day causes the space on the card of that particular picture I am deleting as open or free or better yet empty. The Master File Table (MFT) now knows that the particular location where your deleted photo was is now available to be overwritten.<br />
<br />
What the file recovery programs do is read that MFT and find those locations and extract the photo information. It is not perfect, sometimes you get results as I post below. If you look closely you will see that it is actually a couple different pictures in the same file.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">Recently went to open Devices and Printers on a Dell Inspiron running Win 7 Home Premium, The window would open and you would see the green progress bar going across the address bar, but the devices would never appear.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I have seen this happen in a Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller in the past and it was fixed simply by doing a reboot. Unfortunately that did not do it in this instance.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">One suggestion I found on line was to do the following: </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Click Start</span></i></div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

<br />

</i></span></div><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tried that to no avail. Next suggestion was to insert OS DVD and do a system repair. Not having the disk readily at hand I gave it some more thought. What is in Devices & Printers? Well Printers, right? That is obvious. The laptop itself is in there. What else? Cameras, memory cards, USB devices, Fax. Bluetooth. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The last was my answer. Bluetooth. The owner of this laptop does not use Bluetooth and at some point The Bluetooth service was stopped and set to disabled in Computer Management--Services.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">There are a few ways to get to Computer Management. One is to click on Start. In the search box enter </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;">compmgmt.msc and hit return. You will then see this window open:</span></span><br />

(you can click on either the one in the left or center pane. This will then open the services. Scroll down in the center pane until you see Bluetooth Support Services. (note, yours may be named slightly different) In this case the services start up status was set to disabled. Set this to automatic and press start.I didn't need a reboot in my instance, it just worked immediately. </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I was placing my laptop down on the desk and it slipped out of my hand and the back left corner hit the desk kind of hard. I didn't think anything of it as it only fell about two or three inches from my hand to the desk. I then started to type away and neither of my shift keys worked. All others appeared to work, the caps lock worked, I could bring up the virtual keyboard and the virtual shift worked, but not the physical ones. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">So this really isn't a true keyboard replacement, rather a keyboard re-seating. But the same principals apply. I expected to find that the ribbon cable from the keyboard to the system board to have been jarred loose. But as it turns out this keyboard has solid contacts that slide into a slot just under the track pad. Curious that only the shift keys were affected?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Remove the power cord and battery. Make sure you are properly grounded to avoid static discharge while working. Any time you work with the plastics on laptops there is always the chance for damage. Perform this operation at your own risk. I am not responsible for equipment and or personal injury. </span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I prefer to use a nylon or plastic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spudger"><span style="color: blue;">spudger</span></a> but as I couldn't find mine and this is my personal machine I opted for the flat tip screwdriver. The plastic parts can snap very easily so take your time and lift just a tiny bit at a time. In this photo, just above the tip of the blade you can see a small slot in the plastic. That is where you will first carefully start to pry up.</span></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Work slowly from right to left. Slide the tip of your spudger or finger along the bezel and it will un-clip from the base. Again, work slowly and do not stress this thin plastic at too great an angle, it will snap. On this particular laptop there are no connections between this bezel and the base, such as cabling of any type.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">There are only three screws that hold the board in place. One above the Esc, one above the F8 and one above the Insert keys. Remove these screws and set them aside. </span></div>

</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Slowly and carefully pick up the back of the keyboard with your finger tips, preferably with both hands to equalize the stress of pulling it up wards and towards the screen at the same time. (note the missing F6 key. don't ask....)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">On both the left and right side of the board are these small bumps or keys. They snap in and out of place under the base. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">As you pull up and towards the screen you will see that just below the space bar is where the keyboard plugs into the system board just below the track pad.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Now that you have the keyboard removed this is a good time to get a can of compressed air and clean out the base and the CPU fan.</span><br />

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">At the base of the keyboard are several keys, such as the one you see here under Ctrl key. When replacing the keyboard you insert the contacts into the slot under track pad first, then these keys will fit under the palm rest. Then just simply lay the keyboard down pushing on the left and right sides to get those small keys on the sides under the base. At the same time keep pressure on edge of keyboard closest to screen to make sure the contacts are seating properly in the slot. See that the screw holes of keyboard and base are lined up and replace your screws. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Just recently purchased an Inspiron 14Z through the Dell Employee Purchase Program. It was a gift for the wife. She is a "casual" user, mostly internet browsing, email etc. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">With my EPP discount & a free shipping coupon I paid just under $900.00. Should note that I also purchased the three year complete care warranty. Something I do on every laptop I purchase, whether for work or personal use. I am usually not a fan of extended warranty's, but on laptops, they have almost always paid off. All you need is one broken screen or system board and you made your money back.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Came configured with Win 7 Home Premium w/ MS Office Starter (Word & Excel), </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2nd generation Intel®Core™ processor i3-2330M (2.2GHz) with Intel HD Graphic 3000, 6GB RAM, 640GB HDD. I won't go on with all the in depth nerdy specs. Certainly a more than capable machine for a casual user. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The aluminum case has a nice solid feel and the lid/screen hinges also have a nice solid feel to them. The standard US keyboard that it came with, more about that later, with it's chiclet style keys was noisy and "hard". Hard meaning that there was no give to the keys/keyboard. It was like siting at a table and tapping your fingers on it. The individual keys were also very flat making it difficult for this touch typist. The back lit keyboard has a more "rubbery" feel to it and the keys, while still chiclet looking have a bit of a indentation in them. A feature that is important to a touch typist like me. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It also come with it's fair share of "crap-ware". Not nearly as bad as Dell consumer machines used to be and certainly not as bad as some HP consumer machines I have seen recently, but it still comes with some annoying stuff. The worst of which, in my opinion, is the McAfee. Uggh. Probably the worst AV product on the market today. Bogs down the best of machines. You can either pick though Add/Remove programs and remove the "crap-ware" items one at a time or check out this great utility: <a href="http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/">http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The high gloss 14" screen is better than I was expecting. Even in a brightly lit room. Not much reflection and the image quality is great. It also has a built in webcam & mic that takes a fairly high quality picture/video image & audio. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My only issue so far is the fan sometimes runs at a very high RPM, even when the in/out vents are not being blocked and the CPU is not under extreme stress. Not sure what that is all about, or if it is normal for this model? </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The wife is perfectly happy with the machine. She moved to this from a very old Inspiron 6000 so this is quite the performance upgrade for her. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I configured the machine I specifically picked out a back lit keyboard. When I reviewed the configuration before pressing the button to finish the purchase it showed that I had picked the back lit keyboard. After making the purchase I reviewed the config again and it said standard US keyboard. That concerned me a bit, but just figured it was an error on the web site. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When the laptop arrived it did not have the back lit keyboard. I contacted Dell tech spt via there chat interface and the tech said that my unit was not configured with a back lit keyboard so they could not help me. After some back and forth arguing with him he told me to hold on. Came back and said Dell wanted to make it right for me. They sent out a tech with a back lit keyboard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am quite happy with the way Dell made this right, but what makes me angry is I know for certain that I configured it with the back lit and after purchase the config changed to standard. Doing some research and reading @ Dell forums & reviews of this model I don't appear to the only one that had this problem. Sadly, many others did not get treated the same way I did and got stuck with the standard keyboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would recommend this laptop to the casual user as well as high school & college students. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Went to a clients house to connect a new Linksys wireless router to a VZ DSL Westell 6100. Not a big fan of the 6100. Had problems in the past configuring them to be just a "dumb" bridge/switch from the VZ network to the wireless device. Even more difficult when the username and password for the Westell 6100 is not known, which was the case this time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Really did not want to do a reset to defaults on the 6100 as I could not recall what would be required to get it back up and running again. I <i>think</i> that you have to have all of the VZ account information in order to set it up. Not wanting to risk it I made the dreaded call to VZ DSL tech support.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought there was a way to simply connect the DSL line to the Internet jack of the Linksys then connect the Westell 6100 to one of the other four ethernet ports on the Linksys but was not sure exactly. Sure enough what you can do is just that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First connect a device directly to the Linksys E1000. If new you would go to http://192.168.1.1 with <blank> password and admin for the password. Once in there set for DHCP if it is not already and change the E1000's IP address to 192.168.2.1 and save the changes. If you need to get back into the console you then have to go to http://192.168.1.1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Personally I would prefer to set the Westell 6100 to be a dumb bridge. But the above method works as well. I was able to also connect a desktop computer to the Linksys and get internet service to it as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If anyone has any thoughts or reasons why one method, making the Westell 6100 a dumb switch, or the above is better than the other in this situation I would be glad to hear them.</span><br />

Could be a privacy concern for some.<div style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Facebook is rolling out it's new Timeline feature. I guess the best definition of Timeline is summed up by Adrian Covert @ Gizmodo in his article <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5843030/what-is-facebook-timeline-only-your-whole-life">What Is Facebook Timeline? (Only Your Whole Life)</a> </div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">1. Ensure your Privacy and Sharing Settings are set to Friends Only.</div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">2. Remove any casual acquaintances you have added as friends. Or place those that you do not want to see anything in the Restricted List. </div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">3. Clean up any questionable or embarrassing content on your profile. What this new Timeline feature will allow is for a "friend" or stalker to quickly scan anything and everything posted on your wall. Regardless of when it was posted. Just imagine your boss finding those pics of you at the beach that day you called in sick!</div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">4.

After Timeline is activated you ONLY have seven days to modify the content that is currently on your wall that will be available to all for viewing. So take advantage of the seven days to clean up yours!</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thanks for reading,</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Of the many features this app provides my favorite is the ability to send/receive SMS messages. When I have my laptop on and the phone is nearby I would prefer to be able to respond to messages via the laptop instead of picking up the phone.<br />
<br />
Other features allow you to import/export music, photos, files etc.<br />
<br />
Very simple setup. Even very novice users should be able to connect your device across the wireless network to your desktop/laptop.<br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I consider myself very fortunate. After being laid off 11-22 I was quite anxious as to my ability to find a new position with comparable compensation to my old position.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I discovered during my short job search is that there are numerous F/T Permanent as well as many Contract & Contract to Permanent jobs out there for a System Administrator with my skill set, track record and experience. I also learned that positions having anything to do with <a href="http://www.vmware.com/">vmware</a> are almost impossible for employers/recruiters to fill. And there are many-many-many vmware related vacancies.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My new position is with <a href="http://www.bonairesoft.com/default.aspx">Bonaire</a> as a Technical Software Support Engineer. Quite a wide departure from my experience of the last four years. A bit apprehensive taking on a position that I know very little about. But I can remember four years ago I accepted a position as a Jr. System Administrator not having any solid experience in the field, but that all turned out OK. I expect if I apply myself I should be able to master this new position in the same fashion as I did with the System Administrator position. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This new position would not have been possible without all the support and recommendations I have gotten from my former co-workers and the 26 Princess St. refugees that had already accepted positions at <a href="http://www.bonairesoft.com/default.aspx">Bonaire</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To all of you that have helped me and offered support over the past couple weeks my heartfelt thanks. </span><br />

Deleted Chrome Bookmarks Folder By Mistake.<a href="http://affordablecomputergeek.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Affordable Computer Geek of Salem MA</span></a><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just below the address bar in the Chrome browser window I have a few commonly used shortcuts and had two folder from my bookmarks as well. Having only recently switched to Chrome I was unsure of how to modify that area under the address bar. Of my two folders I wanted to get rid of the one called Work. So I right clicked on it and selected CUT. Thinking that it was only cutting it from the top of the browser window. I then open Bookmark Manager and find that the folder is GONE!. Dread & panic set in. Four years worth of work related bookmarks that I rely upon heavily, sort of as a private knowledge base. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, how to recover mistakenly deleted Chrome bookmarks:</span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Open Windows Explorer and navigate to this path C:\Users\<i>yourusername</i>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Inside that folder will be two files one called Bookmarks and the other Bookmarks.bak. For safety copy both off to someplace you can find later, say the desktop. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Delete the one called Bookmarks</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rename Bookmarks.bak to Bookmarks. Notice there is no file extension. Just Bookmarks.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Close Chrome.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Reopen Chrome and your mistakenly deleted folder should be there. </span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are a few steps I left out, such as how to make hidden files and folders available. The Bookmark files are in fact hidden. The file path above is for WIN7. If you do not know how to make hidden files and folders available either Google it or post your question in the comments section and I will try to help you out. I also do not know what effect would have taken place if say the machine had been rebooted after the file was deleted, or what effect Chrome's synch feature would have. </span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a pretty good quiz that OpenDNS put together. Only takes a couple minutes and at the end it explains how you can identify tell tale signs of a Phishing site. For those that don't know what Phishing is, it is when a webpage is set up to look very similar to a well known page, such as a bank log in page, Facebook log in page etc. What happens is you think you are at the legitimate site and you enter your username and password. Which of course has now been recorded by the bad guys and they now have access to that account.</span><br />

<br />
There is a flurry of SPAM emails going out that state they are from USPS or FedEx, or UPS etc. The body of the email will claim that they attempted delivery of a package to your home/office but you were not there. They then state you have to open the attached .ZIP file and fill out a form in order to get your package. Once you open the .ZIP file it downloads malware to your machine.<br />
<br />
USPS, FedEx, UPS etc never send an email with a .ZIP attached for you to open in order to complete a delivery.<br />
<br />
This scam runs year round, but really picks up steam starting in November to take advantage of the fact that many of us are sending & receiving packages from on line Christmas shopping.<br />
