How to use Powercfg.exe to create a Group Policy object for power schemes in Windows XP

July 7th, 2011

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915160

Another method, not as elegant as using AD group policy:

create bat file in folder that is readable by everyone, but not writable, i.e. powerreconfig.bat

in the file , have this:

\windows\system32\powercfg /setactive “Home/Office Desk”

Then use mmc (with admin access) , start the Group Policy Object Editor,  go to User Configuration, Windows Settings,  Scripts (Logon/Logoff)  .   For Logon, add the batch file you made.

Best food in Toronto - list in progress - crap Safari really sucks with Wordpress

July 2nd, 2011

Pho
- Pho Pasteur on Dundas and Spandina,  also Pho Hung on Spadina and St. Andrew St.Vietnamese

Vermicelli
- Pho Hung on Spadina - they give you a virtually unlimited bottle of sauce

Curry Beef/Chicken on Rice
- Manpuku

Satay Beef on Rice, and also Chilli Chicken on Rice 
- Yueh Tung,  126 Elizabeth Street, Toronto, ON M5G 1P5  (416) 977-0933

Spicy Beef noodle soup
- Asian Legend , Dundas location - note: not always consistent, sometimes really good, sometimes watered down flavour

Steak
- Harbour 60

Pad Thai
- Salad King

Tom Yum Gai - Salad King

Pork Bone Soup - Ka Chi - all locations very consistent with flavour

Bagels - Bagel House - 1722 Avenue Road, Toronto, ON , (416) 781-0032 , open 24 hours.  They start making their bagels fresh daily at this location around 2-3 am.  From our experience, at that time they start making the poppy seed and sesame seed bagels first, so by around 2-3 am, you should be able to have fresh hot poppy seed bagels in your hand.   I only assume that the other flavours are made sequentially after that.

Chinese Dumplings
- Mother’s Dumplings - 421 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, ON M5T 2G6 , (416) 217-2008

Japanese Ramen Noodles
- Kenzo Ramen , Dundas location (west of Eaton Centre) and Yonge location (south of Steeles)

Best selection of fruits/vegetables for lunch - Est West - two known locations - 700 University Ave in the food court, and Village on the Grange .   Price is very reasonable.

Sushi - still undecided, but in the top list are
- Fune (a kaiten sushi place with a sushi merry go round) Mikado on Leaside Ave. - only 1 of the 2 known old-school sushi places with a section where you take off your shoes and sit on a slightly raised platform table thing
Ematei - the other old school sushi place

Most consistent and clean “All you can eat” buffet -  Mongolian Grill - at the Market Village Mall, Kennedy and Steeles. Runner up on buffet - Wasabi - however it’s beginning to look a little frayed.

SAS 9.2 error in windows 7 - non administrator user

June 15th, 2011

When trying to start SAS v9.2 in a non-admin user, you’ll get an error like:

error user does not have appropriate authorization level for library SASUSER .  unable to initialize the options subsystem

So basically the problem is that the sasv9.cfg file has the “MYSASFILES” and SASUSER variable set to the administrator account folders during the installation, not to some generally accessible location.   The easy fix is to create a folder , i.e. c:\sas , make it fully writable by your users, then modify the sasv9.cfg file (located: “C:\Program Files\SAS9_2\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\en\SASV9.CFG” )

Look for MYSASFILES and SASUSER and change it to c:\sas

That should then fix the problem.

continental ring tone - loud modified

June 11th, 2011

The Blackberry Torch comes with a disappointing array of ring tones included… most of them are a mashed up series of music that you can’t hear above ambient noise, which is often also similarly sounding music.   I’ve attached to this post the classical continental ringtone that I’ve modified to be a bit louder, just below it starts getting distorted and cut offed.Continental Ringtone loud
