AnalogDuck.com is, simply put, a QuackHouse for QuackHeads. Ramblings and rants of one systems administrator and one soil scientist, each helplessly addicted to the incessant information flow of the Intardnet. Sometimes the clicking and reading stops just long enough for something to get posted here. Sometimes it's even intelligible.
Not often though.
SonicWall firewall units (often? always?) have a hidden administration web page at http(s)://hostname/Diag.html. There you will find many extra items to tweak.
For those who are curious what's happening with our wedding...
We're having the ceremony @ Cataract Falls and our honeymoon stay will be @ Rose Court Cottage in Arcata. See more pictures of Rose Court Cottage here and here.
We plan on getting in a lot of hiking during our stay in northern California. We'll be trekking in the Redwood National Forest and/or Prairie Creek State Park hopefully, and may do the Avenue of the Giants drive (though the weather might make this less appealing). Of course we'll be stopping by the city forest and the marsh as well, as they are nice and close.
Teleconferencing services
I actually had difficulty getting phone numbers in a timely manner for a couple of the major carriers, so I resorted to dialing PIC/CIC codes + 0 so I could ask an operator of the carrier in question.
I've listed the rates here for the major carriers, because I researched them, but I've decided to use GlobalConference.com The rates were very good, the online management console thought out well, and the line-quality was good. A one hour conference with 7 people cost me $20.

A very good article on how the MBR works can be found here.
Historically, in Microsoft-land, the MBR has been repaired using a DOS boot floppy and the command fdisk. However, the command fdisk is incompatible-with-Windows NT/2000/XP.
In walks "MBR Fix". It's free and it works from Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 command prompt, and so is perfectly suited for use in removable operating systems (ERD Commander, BartPE, WinPE, etc.) You can download it here.

This is a very, very useful tip from Microsoft on how to quickly disable all browser toolbars (or BHOs) in the click of a single checkbox. Handy for spyware removal.
