Well, more like a few hours on Sunday. I didn’t notice the starfish at first; once I did, I tried to get pictures. Elusive little buggers.

Be careful to only get optics of known origin; pretty much every optic has fakes sold as real on eBay.

Vista CPU upgrade mystery
22 July 2008My CPU died; I had to peel off $80 for a replacement. After I installed the replacement, I started getting these errors:

I found the solution after a lot of searching. In a nutshell, a new CPU requires a new DRM store. To effect this, start an elevated cmd prompt and:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\Windows\system32>cd \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRMC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM>rd /s/q .
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM>
Warning: if you needed any of that data, it is gone. Hopefully the Vista AppCompat team can look into publishing a better solution more widely.
For some reason
21 July 2008All the cool kids are linking carry permit holders. I see Les Jones mis-linked, though. Network-effect for the win.
Keming
21 July 2008As I often cannot tell “modern” from “modem”, I fully expect the neologism “keming” to catch on.
Review: Outside the Wire
20 July 2008Some time ago I picked up Outside the Wire (2007 trilogy and Call Sign Vengeance). While I appreciate the effort that goes into documentary efforts, I had to force myself to sit through all four programs. The largest weakness in the movies is that if you’ve read Yon and Totten and Blackfive, these videos are review. If you get your news via CNN or Fox, they may be worthwhile; however, the chance that someone that does focus on mainstream news sources is going to pick up these DVDs is slim.
One reason to purchase the videos is the author’s attempt to out-earn Redacted; apparently, he’s 2/3 of the way to Redacted’s domestic box office. If this appeals to you, by all means buy all of the copies you can afford. One other reason to make the purchase is to support the filmmaker’s future efforts; for that alone, I feel OK about the buy.
I’m OK with being scary
18 July 2008it’s annoying that they didn’t bother to bring over any of the text with the pictures, though.
3 ARCOMs
17 July 2008You may recall I wrote about a 1.3 mile shot taken by ARFCOM member SnakeaterM24.
He has been awarded an ARCOM for this shot; in addition, he was awarded two more ARCOMs. One was for “End of tour” and the other was for “doing stuff with people someplace”. He’s in Germany on his way back stateside; congratulations and thank you for your service.
