- Reg Scanner, looks like a great tool for finding stuff in the Registry. It’s discussed here.
- Verizon is finally getting the Curve (via engadget), I bet they still dick it up and cripple it.

I received a post card/mailing from CDW today. A co-op advertisement for SONICWALL and WebSense.
It shows the obligatory IT Manager with head in hands.
The text:
IRONY:
The folks who stand to lose the most from a security breach are the same ones who hesitate to fund a solution.
We currently use both of these products. Sonicwall email security (formerly MailFrontier) works pretty well. Websense? Well, it *mostly* works. For a 6.x product it’s still missing a number of features. The add however hits home.
- Good Article on Cisco Syslog/Logging Configuration, somewhat old but useful.
- USB HD Dock gets built in hub and becomes useful.
- Wordpress 2.5 has been released. (It’s now running here with no ill effects).
- how-to-wired wiki now includes Bar Tricks Article
Wordpress 2.5 is out, and Datapoohbah.com/Tech/ has been updated.
Other blog upgrades went smoother than this one… Not exactly sure what went wrong, but I had to copy the files up a couple times.
The admin pages still don’t render exactly right :/

Firefox bookmarks toolbar broken…
March 30, 2008 in Commentary, IT, The Truth Hurts by datapoohbah | No comments
This started for me somewhere around Firefox 2.0.0.10 ish and it’s really annoying.
When Firefox is first launched, the initial window is fine. I have my bookmarks toolbar:
Any new window I create (and I do use multiple windows regardless of tabbed browsing), the bookmarks toolbar goes blank…
It doesn’t seem related to any plugins that I’m aware of. I’ve tried disabling most. I can’t imagine that it’s an actual bookmark in this folder but it could be.
Has anyone else seen this?
Edit/Update: This appears to be directly caused by or related to the use of Automated QA’s Test Complete Add/On:
Disabling this puppy and my problems go away.
