Vista and Cisco VPN don't play nice
Picked up a new Vista-powered laptop this week (replacement to one Best Buy/Geek Squad messed up) for the wife. Pretty much just needed to surf the web, do a little image editing, and HTML/CSS dev, and other pretty basic stuff.

Ex-UT Student Colton Pitonyak Guilty of Murder
Former University of Texas student Colton Pitonyak was convicted Tuesday of the murder of Jennifer Cave and sentenced to 55 years in jail.

Shockingly, Pitonyak will only have to serve about 20 years before becoming eligible for parole. The fact that he could be walking... Continue reading

Don't Answer Calls From 514-958-0000
Another telephone scam, this time reportedly from Express Consolidation out of Canada. Someone repeatedly called my cell phone, 3 or 4 times in a ten minute span, from an "Unknown" number and after not answering any of those calls the next two came from 514-958-0000. Same thing happened on three separate occasions this week while I was at work. I didn't answer any of these unsolicited calls and you shouldn't either. No reputable businesses... Continue reading

It's an award for the best looking college football blog in the whole entire world. We felt honored just to be nominated, so winning is definitely a cool thing. I just hope people don't consider us as over-rated as Brady Quinn and Notre Dame. That would suck. So thanks to everyone out there who... Continue reading
