How I Totaled My Mini Cooper

Posted in Mini Cooper on April 26th, 2009 by Doug – 1 Comment

On my way to the office on Tuesday the 21st of April, I managed to total the Mini Cooper. It had been raining off and on most of the morning. About 20 miles from the office it started to down poor. I began to slow down and ended up hitting a patch of slick ice and took the car into the barrier at highway speed. Those airbags did not actually do much for me other then actually cause injury. Fortunatly for me, I walked away with some burns from the gun powder in the airbags and some minor cuts bruises.

Microsoft Live Communicator 2005 – Windows Vista Sharing Function Does Not Work

If you are unfortunate enough to have to use the Microsoft Live Communicator 2005 client in an enterprise (work) and you have a Microsoft Vista Desktop I found this to be a work around to the Desktop Sharing Flaw

Problem: Windows Vista does not include NetMetting and it is required for Microsoft Live Communicator to enable the Desktop sharing function.

Solution: Microsoft has release a hotfix that can be downloaded here.
