I wrote this utility to help the call handler at work provide the helpdesk staff with more information.

Main Screen

Purpose

A small VB NET 3 utility the will display a list of questions for a given topic that can be answered in a series of text fields. Once completed these answers are copied with the questions into the copy buffer to be pasted onto a call sheet in a helpdesk application. This utility saves the creation of paper based question sheets, provides a standard format and can be updated without any changes to the program. It is driven by the text file that is included in the zip. Source code is included.

Avira Anti Virus Fails to Update on Windows 7

Software 9 Responses »
Jul 262010

After three installations of two types of Windows 7 with Avira Anti Virus Personal edition (the free one) I found that updates fails on all installations. After some searching on the net I found a solution, here. I am posting this as it was hard to find and to enhance the ranking of this solution for a rather annoying bug.

The solution is to disable the detection of proxy server for updates under advanced setting within configuration.

Windows 7 on a netbook

Software 9 Responses »
Jul 252010

I have a Dell Inspiron 910, bought from cash converters for £150 3/4 of a year ago. As I had tested Windows Visa and found it to be in many ways an advert not to upgrade from Windows XP I left my machine with the XP installation that the Dell originally came on. Something that surprised me was the 8Gig solid state hard disk. I bought a cheap 4 gig SD card and shoved that permanently into the side for some extra space but I mainly relied on an external 360GB Western Digital slimline hard disk.

When windows 7 came out my usual fear of learning the nuances of a new OS evaporated as I found it to be in almost every way and pleasure to deal with. After testing on a Dell Optiplex 780 for some time I though I should get my Dell Inspiron upgraded to 7 also.

Windows 7 space requirements

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit with a standard install takes about 7gig and even though you can disable many core feature these features are not removed. After some searching I found vLite a utility that is (I assume) mainly used by companies to create tailored Windows installs that suit the corporate image. More searching around on the net and I found that Windows 7 starter was probably the best choice for my netbook. Though Starter removed many features so low powered computers can run it it seemed to be the best choice as a starting package to reduce further in size. After hacking the image with vLite and successfully installing I found that there was no domain support, you could not easily personalise the theme and there was no Aero. Finding this I used vLite to reduce a Windows 7 Ultimate installation. Below is the howto. Continue reading »

WEP Cracking with aircrack

Software 6 Responses »
Jul 102010

I thought I would post my bash wep cracking script. I made this on the backtrack 4 final linux distro, which is ubuntu, it utilizes aircrack-ng and a sub directory call data.

This script would be most of interest to people who are using multiple wireless interfaces to capture. It allows you you test each cards reception and specify which card is to do the injection and which are simply there to listen.

It implements all aircrack attacks against WEP hubs and I have success using all.

If I get interested in WPA cracking I’ll post another script. Continue reading »

Some Free Internet Ideas

Second-Hand-Hymen.com

For those girl who would really like to try their first time again; second-hand-hymen.com would provide the marketplace of hymens for woman who had a successful first time to sell to those who didn’t, at, of course, a small fee.

Frame-My-Hymen.com

For that interesting talking piece for the living room, for young sweethearts, frame that moment for all to see. Dried or in formaldehyde. If it was lost or destroyed in the process of the life changing event we can mock one up from chicken skin and black pudding.

Lost-And-Found-Virginity.com

After hearing many people have lost their virginity and after numerous calls to police stations and airport and train-station lost and found departments I have been unable to locate any lost virginity. Therefore I intend to setup lost-and-found-virginity.com where people can post lost virginities and with hope can be reunited with them by avid do gooders.

Swap-Your-Inlaw.com

Sees like in-laws can sometimes be a problem, the domain name as it suggests is a swap shop for in-laws. People can post all the qualities of the in-law they would like to swap and search for other or suitable in-laws posted by others and arrange a swap.
