The screen rotation feature of the Jasjam is cool, but it takes a while, and some apps really hate it. It will even crash some video playback. It’s a great function for the slide out keyboard, but it is slow.
Have you ever noticed your Jasjam is incorrectly aligned when you answer the phone or an SMS message, and it takes a few seconds to sort it self out?
Sites like www.silentpcreview.com offer some great component reviews for bits to build a quiet machine. What is missing is a guide about the fundamentals to think about to do it simply, without having to buy super expensive gear. This is that guide.
It’s probably a geek thing, but the ”why bother” for me is that I run a home server to keep my stuff on and a noisy PC is just plain irritating. Ditto for the media centre PC, or even the desktop. Because my machines are on all the time, keeping them quiet, and power saving matters.
We had to move Neuralfibre at Doteasy had gone to crap. WordPress and Tikiwiki both had Bluehost in their list of recommended providers. As we wanted to use both, and the features, price and other reviews were fair to excellent, went with it. These are my comments.
Package – Excellent
Price – Good
Features – Excellent
Auto Install Scripts – Excellent
Upgrades for Hosted Products – Yes – Scripted
Multiple Domains / Shared with mates – Yes
Heaps of space – Yes
eMail Limits – Good
WebMail Interface – Bad – only on weird port (But you can install and run Roundcube, and that is a good webmail client)
Help / FAQ – Excellent
eMail responses for Help – Excellent
I firmly believe one of the reasons MS holds the position they do is due to their control of the Directory, and their integration with it. MS thought so once too, and tried to extend it to the Internet with Passport.
So why oh why then does this MS product NOT support any of the normal UI’s for authentication.
MS Project 2003 Professional connecting to a MS Project Server 2003.
It gives the option of connecting with your domain account, or using a “Project Server Account”. Here comes the crunch. NEITHER of these options works on a PC that is not a domain member. There is no popup UI to ask for a password.
I logged onto Custdata today and did a quick query – the error below gave me a laugh.
I must admit, I prefer this level of honesty to PR lies attempting to save face.
I was somewhat concerned about the refresh behavior if IE on my Jasjam. I threw this as the MS Newsgroups and got some answers. Looks like I have to be careful with IE.
It’s quite common to run the file server and the print server on the same box. They don’t tend to compete for resources and are moderately complimentary. The downside is the instability of the spooler service combined with varied drivers leads to more frequent reboots than is ideal. Everyone loves to reboot a large file server.
The problem is that no one wants to dedicate hardware to just printing. or heaven forbid, coexisting with a domain controller
The problem is that if you use the IBM drivers, the default Microsoft Serial Port Interface is not configured as described.
Instead you do the following:
We have been having problems with the satellite link at the moment. Looks like it may be related to the rather large volcano that has just decided to blow it’s top. Mt Tavurvur – Rabaul has been a well know performer, but nothing this big since 1994 whish was huge.
Hey, this is PNG, nothing surprises me anymore.
I challenge you to beat that for an uncontrolled outage.
was dissapointed when Ministumbler didn’t work on my KJam, must not support the wireless chipset. I found Wififofum does work succesfully. No comments on functionality yet.

DON’T install Ministumbler, it’s a bugger to remove, the uninstaller doesn’t work.
Replicating a large file store – 850 odd Gig. Due to conflict issues, running the secondary site replicated but with no referrals. I’ll enable it if the primary has a failure. Anyway -
| Replicated Folder |
Total Size of Data If Received Without DFS Replication |
Actual Data Received Across the Network Using DFS Replication |
DFS Replication Efficiency Savings |
| Department$ | 869.94 GB | 251.07 GB | 71.14% |
Thats a reduction of 618Gig for FIRST TIME ONE WAY replication. It can only get better from here with partial change replication.
(Although I do have questions about .pst files – testing required here)

MS even let me present on this exact topic and make the same statements.
If you have a corporate wallpaper pushed to your desktop / laptop, chances are it’s being done with Windows Group Policy. It’s likely this is a PR rather than IT initiative, IT being there to service rather than brand the customer.
You can override this wallpaper with some local settings, although this *may* have impacts down the track where other settings are also blocked. This may or may not be a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It will definitely mean that IT won’t be happy as your PC is no longer standard and may not behave as they expect. This isn’t really a big stress, as with the advent of the Internet and web applications, no machine is the same as another anymore, despite opinions to the contrary. Your mileage may vary.
Been using the Linux version for ages. Now for win32 – even easier. VOIP + Analogue + digital tie lines = bye bye small business PABX.
I’ll review handsets later. Polycom and Zultsys are both great.

Not much to say in the way of “Good Taste”. 120KG mother of 8 is the star…..
