sala's WinXP SP2 Terminal Server Patch

i used this method to allow me to login via remote desktop while someone else was logged in locally. this hack was of course quashed by a recent microsoft update.

i used the system restore feature of win xp to go back to when it was working.

now if anyone out there knows how to keep this patch working AFTER a microsoft update, please leave a comment and let me know.

i didn't know he participated in world team tennis. so he does and he's looking kinda older.
he still beat the other guy. i don't know who was shitting his pants more, the tennis legend playing a nobody or the nobody playing a tennis legend. 

rod couldn't use his tickets last night so he offered them to me. i gladly accepted. 

kevin is late today.
it is 9:11 am and he still hasn't shown up.

hypocrisy at its finest. i receive critisim from dennis regarding my late start days? don't i have a right to critisize kevin?  


well it turns out he called in sick.

how to keep a dog occupied

bowie's been munching on that big knuckle (from some mysteriously large creature unbeknownst to me) for over a week. this is probably cheaper (and with less side effects) than doggie prosac.

buy in bulk?

$3.59 in bulk isn't THAT cheap.
