In Memoriam: My Mother, Sau Wai Stanley (6th January 1945 - 18th June 2003)

Posted by Jonathan at 12:15:00 UTC on the 18th of June, 2003

Sau Wai Stanley (née 林秀惠), 58, died in the early hours of June 18th, 2003. She parted us peacefully in her sleep after a seven month, strong and dignified fight with terminal cancer.

A mother, wife and sister, her vivacious spirit and will shone through every aspect of her life making the best of the difficult times, and celebrating the good times. To the great many other people that knew her, she was a loving and loyal friend.

Well, here we go… two new mixes in as many days. Certainly helps when you have some new records to muck about with. :D

There’s a Deep House mix just under two and a half hours long, and a Tech House mix just over the hour mark. Enjoy!

Windows XP: The Movie

Posted by Jonathan at 21:00:00 UTC on the 4th of June, 2003

Now, the Microsoft Knowledge Base is like the Oracle for all things Microsoft, but this recent Knowledge Base article takes the biscuit, titled “Support WebCast: New Microsoft Windows XP Command-line Tools and Troubleshooting Utilities” and weighing in at 1 hour and 36 minutes…

During this session, we will describe the new tools that ship in Microsoft Windows XP as well as the support tools, and how they can be used by support professionals. This session assumes that you have introductory-level knowledge of the command shell, Cmd.exe, and how command-line tools work; prior knowledge of the tools is not required. There are more than 40 new tools in Windows XP that can help you identify and troubleshoot issues, as well as automate routine maintenance tasks. We will discuss these tools as well as the batch and script language that can be used to automate the tools.

This is a Level 100 session that was recorded October 11, 2001 and presented by Clark Gilder. Clark Gilder joined Microsoft as a systems engineer in 1991. After five years in the field helping customers deploy Microsoft products, he moved to the product groups. For Windows 2000, he developed the Application Compatibility program (Apcompat.exe) for server and enterprise line-of-business applications. For Windows XP, he is the lead program manager on the manageability initiative, which is designed to improve the non-GUI management capabilities of the product by building new command-line tools. He has been designing software for Windows since 1987.

Pop corn anyone?
