  • cmd: The "at" command

    Apr 11, 2006 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Windows, like Unix, has an "at" command. It's basically a command-line interface for Task Scheduler. I use it rather often but haven't memorized the syntax so I've decided to put it here in my blog. Here is example syntax for running a VBS script: at 12:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su %SystemDirectory%\cscript.exe …

    This bandaid is mighty handy for pesky OSX disconnects. I don't really know what causes it and unfortunately, I don't have time to fully figure it out. I do know that changing my gateway back to my local gateway helped tremendously. Also, changing my default nameserver to a local nameserver helped too. Now, I get …

  • VBScript: Shortcuts for IIS Log Directories

    Apr 10, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I love parsing through IIS logfiles but I dislike the directory structure that Microsoft creates for IIS logging. Each site has a randomly generated directory name so, for example, "netnerds.net" could store its files in "C:\windows\system32\logfiles\W3SVC720199813." Who wants to track that down? …

  • Anapod Rocks: An alternative to iTunes

    Apr 2, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    EDIT: This post is about 3 years old now and I've since started using Songbird. Read my review titled: "Songbird is to iTunes what FireFox is to IE". If you dislike iTunes as much as I do, Anapod by RedChairSoftware is the perfect alternative. I find it extremely easy to use and the interface is aesthetically …
