Een vriend...

Je hebt iemand nodig, stil en oprecht
die als het er op aan komt met je sms't en met je chat
Pas als je iemand hebt die met je skypet en met je mailt
dan pas kun je zeggen: ik heb een vriend die zich verveelt

Passion, it lies in all of us

Sleeping, waiting and although unwanted, unbidden, it will stir.
Open it's jaws and hauwel.

It speaks to us, guides us...
Passion rules us all and we obey, what other choice do we have?

Passion is the source of our finest moments...
The joy of love, clearity of hatered and the extacy of grief.

It hurts sometimes more then we can bare...
If we could live without passion maybe we could know some kind of piece, but we would be hollow.
Empty rooms, shutterd and blank.
Without passion, we'd be truly dead...

Passion is what drives us and makes us tick.
With money we can survive, but with passion we can live.

Passion is what defines us, but is also that which confuses and seperates us.
Leave it up to us, and we’ll tear each other limb from limb, as we slowly all fall apart...

Problem: Outlook 2003 works offline

A several times on multiple projects I've found this issue. When clicking on "Work online" doesn't work the challenge begins...

Colleagues of mine ofted delete the entire userprofile and recreate it.

This action takes a lot of time, not to mention the effort you need to put in it so save user settings.

So I was thinking:"Can't this be done faster, easier and more userfriendly?"

The answer was as easy as always:"Yes!"

These are te steps to take:

• Close Microsoft Office Outlook and all applications that have an active link to it, for example like Office Communicator.


• Delete all files in "c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook.


• Start Microsoft Office Outlook and, if needed, create the connection to the mailserver.

Problem solved!

A colleague of mine was taking the long way around and it took about 15 minutes to complete... Using my was he was done the next time within 5 minutes!!!

Also the issue can be solved remotely by a 1th line (like a unskilled or semi-skilled servicedesk).

Offline Folders - Delete cache

Offline folders... beautiful concept, but I've had a lot of trouble with it when users start to work with it. So I had a few situations that I had to delete the Offline Folders Cache.

To delete the offline folders use the following steps:

1. Open My Computer
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the Offline Files tab, click Delete Files.
4. In the Confirm File Delete dialog box, select the check box next to the shared folder that contains the offline files you want to delete.
5. Do one of the following:
• To remove copies of the network files Windows automatically stores on your computer, click Delete only the temporary offline versions.
• To remove the network files that are automatically stored on your computer as well as the network files you specifically made available offline, click Delete both the temporary offline versions and the versions that are always available offline.

Update forefront from command line

Is there a critical computer that you do want the ForeFront Client to update it’s definitions, but not downloading and installing other Microsoft Updates by default?

I’ve had that situation and it took me a lot of searching to find the solution:


Execute these commands from the command line with administrator rights.

If you would like, you can schedule the command through the Task Scheduler.

Note: This will update the definitions, not the engine!!!

For also updating your scan engines, I’ll refer to Microsofts Knowledge Base Article 950547.

After a while

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand
and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plansand futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn
that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

Remember.... in the old days? First there was Quake, then Quake 2 appeared... Next up was Quake 3!

Now Quake 3: Arena was one of my favorite games...and still is!

Then it was silent on the Quake-area for a few years, and I did not like that at all...

But... the waiting was not for nothing. Now we've got: QuakeLive!!!!
