Beware IE7 Standalone on Windows 7!!

December 6th, 2011

So, I wanted to test something at work using IE7 as a standalone app since you can’t have multiple versions of it running in Windows (we’ll get to this later). I had previously been using IE7 Standalone on Windows XP and loved it. I had no idea it would hose some file registrations in Windows 7.

Luckily for me, there was an exact post/article that led me to a fix. Thanks pyrocam.com!

I did run into a few hangups while running through the registration batch file, having to kill regsvr32.exe a few times, but who cares. I can now go back into explorer.exe and right-click Computer.

Amazing deal on Blu-rays

December 2nd, 2011

Hell, for under $10, Amazon.com has some great titles, even some new releases. For example, who wouldn’t want Point Break or Inception or Pulp Fiction or Goonies or Gremlins or Beetlejuice or Edward Scissorhands for this price?

Blu-rays under $10 at Amazon.com (too bad I don’t have an affiliate account set up).

Santa

My 4 year old son, Christopher, has taken our Santa from the living room and hid him under his bed. He’s hilarious.

First Skating Race (inline)

November 4th, 2011

Benjamin had his first try at skating that wasn’t on the ice. He loved the inline skates. It was fun to watch him. Christopher also had his first time skating off the ice. He had skated once before with the whole family at Onyx in Rochester.
