On sunday evening I returned from a great bachelor’s weekend in Amsterdam, organized by my friends Ash, Danny, Jack/Kristof and Steven [alphabetical order]. Had a great time, hanging out, lasershooting , movie’ing , coupling’ing , eating, walking, drinking (coke), comedy’ing and much more…

Thanks again, guys – it was great.

So, we’ll need to do that again – who’s next? 🙂 

Needing cable management is one thing… but motherboard management??

I reinstalled my WinXP last weekend, and have been annoyed by this the entire week already. My last install just did it like that, too. Anyway, how to fix:

• Open regedit
• Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Keyboard Layout
• Create DWORD called Attributes and set the hexadecimal value to 00010000
• Reboot

Enjoy!

After the Apostrophe Protection Society , we now have the Spatiegebruik website. Please stop the "spatie ziekte" ! The examples are ‘funny’. If you’re into that sort of thing. 🙂

Below services post was needed for the following:

I had a machine with Oracle 9 installed, and wanted to uninstall it. The uninstlaler installed on disk however told me that I needed a newer installer to remove the software (old installer used for base, then newer installer on CD used for patches/upgrades, and the new installer not installed on the harddisk). So this is what I learned from a colleague who used to work at Oracle:

• Stop all oracle services
• Remove all oracle services
• Delete c:\oracle
• Delete c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\oracle*
• Delete c:\program files\oracle
• Start regedit and delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle

Done!

Apparently at Oracle the same method is used quite often. 🙂

Open up a command prompt and typing sc delete <servicename> will remove a service. (and sc create will create one)

One has to wonder why you can’t do that through Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services though… 🙂
