Thanks Adam for lending me his Tesla Model S for the last two weeks. It has been really fun to drive and both Hayden and Michelle love it. Hayden’s going to miss it!

Ran into this issue today when trying to install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 for Microsoft Office Outlook where the installer would constantly ask for a reboot when trying to install “Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition 2008 (CRM)”. No matter how many times you rebooted it would always ask to reboot again. Note: This only happens if you use the “Offline” functionality.
The solution to this is to manually install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and call the instance “CRM”. This allows CRM to continue and skip over the installation of SQL Server Express.
Hope this helps others who get stuck with the install.
Recently my Outlook 2010 OST grew to over 4GB of space which made Outlook slow.
One of the biggest reasons why it’s this large is SSW’s policy against auto-archiving and never permanently deleting anything. As a result my Deleted Items folder was actually 2.1 GB!
Now, I don’t actually need all of those items as they do span back about 4 years. So the goal is to only bring down the current year’s deleted items.
Was having a frustrating few months with MKV files containing subtitles taking up to 30 seconds to load in VLC. The solution to the problem is to grant write permissions to the fontconfig file. So the simple fix is this:
- Open up Terminal.app
- Type in "sudo chmod 777 /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig"
Now MKV files containing subtitles will load instantly!
Trolling through my backlog of RSS feeds today and stumbled across Tagxedo via Lifehacker. Pretty nifty implementation of a tag cloud generator using Silverlight.
I’m thinking I might do something nice using it for the missus or as a piece to hang up in my home office.
Here’s a sample using random words on my blog:
