Last night I was up a bit late trying to get my 256MB USB thumb drive bootable. I managed to do it and I put our company’s DOS network boot disk on it as well. This setup along with some command line utilities like NTFS4DOS and ReadNTFS makes for a great time when a user is down and out in a bad way.

I show this to my Team Lead and he’s estatic and immediately a light goes on in his head, I guess. Now he wants me to do this to his 4GB USB thumb drive but also put the desktop & laptop images on it. I can get one image to fit since they’re like almost 3GB each.

Lately, I’ve been working on my own version of my father-in-law’s website for his newspaper, News Barometer. I’m hoping to have something somewhat finished site-wise and process-wise for him to look at and see if he wants to use its format for publishing his weeklies online. So far I think I’ve got most of the functionality tweaked. I had some trouble utilizing images with the content management system I’m using (PROPS). So far it’s the only CMS I’ve found that supports weekly publications. As far as the design goes, I’m still adjusting it. I’m looking for a beter stock photo for the background though. These palm trees are just really… bright and big.
