I can’t stand websites where you have to write down what you see in an image. They never properly test them. If you make a mistake in one place, the next page, it never reads the code correctly. I tried on one page about 15 times, never worked. Always told me the code was wrong.

SlowBooks Pro 2006
For anyone using QuickBooks Pro 2006 with Linux, there is a great write up on how to make it work with Samba. However, don’t expect a lot of security. I tried this and noticed one thing that the article did not mention however. If you are using it, and it is slow… try this. Make an entry in your hosts file that points to the server. I had one station that would take 5 minutes to open QuickBooks. I put the server in the hosts file, and it loaded up in a minute. Still slow, but that is 2006 for you. QuickBooks is getting worse every year. I can’t wait for Quasar to start getting a little more popular.
Default Clicking
If I say “click on Properties,” that means LEFT click…. if I say “right-click on Properties,” then you right-click. Do NOT ask me “Left or right click?” I will go crazy. If no side is specified, left is considered the default.
Shaking Head IT Syndrome
(6.3MB email via Exchange Server) x (20+ seperate domains) = Dead Internet Connection
Look, don’t send huge attachments to 40 seperate people when using an Exchange server. It is just not a good thing. Your connection will crawl. I guess I will have to have a meeting with a few people.
