Having an issue when a user logs in, he gets an error saying that his recycle bin is corrupt, and it also says it belongs to another user.
After doing some research it looks like it’s been a common issue since XP… What I did was write up a little batch file that “should” take care of the issue…
Here it is:

cd \
rd /s /q C:\$RECYCLE.BIN
rd /s /q D:\$RECYCLE.BIN
pause

Exit

I added the pause, just to see if anything funny popped up in the CMD output.
-J

Here is a batch file I made to simplify cleaning the UTC font cache:

@echo off

taskkill /F /IM fmcore.exe

rmdir %LOCALAPPDATA%\Extensis.OLD /S /Q

rmdir %LOCALAPPDATA%\Extensis.OLD /S /Q

rename %LOCALAPPDATA%\Extensis Extensis.OLD

start /d “%ProgramFiles%\Extensis\Universal Type Client\” FontManagementUI.exe

start /d “%ProgramFiles(X86)%\Extensis\Universal Type Client\” FontManagementUI.exe

exit

In case you are wondering, there are two rmdir tags… one clears the insides of the folder and the second wipes it out.

The reason I rename the old Extensis folder is to keep a backup of the folder… a safety net if you will…

PS… make sure you are closed out of UTC and any programs that depend on UTC, fonts or auto activation. You will need to know your username and password to the Type Server.

Enjoy!

That’s right, you heard it… I’m engaged to the most amazing girl EVER!!!

Here are a few pics of my sweetie and I on St. Patrick’s in the City!

It was a great day got on the train at 9 AM, it was a PACKED train! By the time we got to the city, people were standing in the aisles!
The weather was awesome! It actually was HOT, (Chicago hit a record high 81 F)

We enjoyed the day with a few friends walking around the city, visited a bar to drink some green beer and eat a burger!

It was a good weekend, though today I’m dragging! A few more hours of sleep would have been awesome! lol…

That’s right!

I’m going to be using nothing but GNU software at home for a month!
That means… no Windows 7, OS X, Office 2010/2011, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat…

I will be using Ubuntu 11.10, Libre Office, GIMP, Scribus, GhostScript and Chromium as my GNU alternatives.
Though I am still looking for a good looking email client that supports Exchange… Just so I can connect to my work email… but I may decide not to connect during off hours, just to save my sanity.

That’s all for now…

TTYL,

Helping at church

How it all happened?

Well it was an early Saturday October 15 to be exact… It was a test day… I was supposed to go with Victor to a race, but I had not been training and did not want to go… sssshhhh don’t tell him that…besides it was a test day and did not want to miss class… Well there she was sitting in class waiting to take the test. She looked pretty as always.

Where did you buy coffee from?

We took the test, it went by pretty fast. We were the first to finish… She asked me… “Where did you buy coffee from the other day?” I acted fast… and let her know where Victor and I had gotten coffee the previous week… I did not waste time… and asked her if she would like to get a cup of coffee…

Sure!

She did not hesitate to say “Sure!” off we went to get our coffee…  on the way there we got to talking a little about the class and our school experiences… we also talked about study habits, which were none… and music we like to listen to… we both agreed that it depended on our moods.

*rumble, rumble*

Once we got back to class, my stomach would not stop rumbling… I had woken up late and did not have a chance to eat breakfast… so as my tummy rumbled along, I took the opportunity to ask her if she was interested in eating after class. Again she surprised me and said sure sounds great!

Shopping?

We went back to the little Mexican restaurant and had lunch, got to talking about our living situations and family and just taking in as much information about each other as we could. She then asked me if I’d like to accompany her shopping for a sofa and other little things she needed. So off we went after lunch talking more and just having fun.

 I got some digits! Woooo!

After we got back to the school parking lot we exchanged numbers… and went our separate ways…

I didn’t waste time with the texts… and we got to talking pretty quickly after the exchange of numbers. Our first date was Friday October 21st after this all took place… though it would not be until December that we would become an official couple.

We have gone out on several dates and adventures since then I may write some of them down soon… just to preserve the memories and have something to look back on and smile.

I am not perfect and neither is she… but we are working together to form a better relationship, to grow together, and become better people.
