Another StarTrek?

Ok, they kill Enterprise only to possibly bring back another?  Personally I thought Enterprise was the best one and was really ticked that they ended it.  StarTrek fans didn't want the show to end, the cast didn't want the show to end - so why do another.  Link

Dog Wash

There is a new car wash going in across the street from my subdivision. We had hopes that it would be some nice business to help alleviate a little bit of the hoosier reputation that Arnold has. A car wash in itself doesn't hurt but the fact that they're advertising a dog wash doesn't help. I think there's room on that sign for deer processing and fish cleaning.

Cool Jazz or the Wiggles?

Actually it was just a beep every time he pressed a key.

Deleting locked files

So Brian sends me a link to something to install and check out.  Since we pass stuff back and forth all the time I have no issues with installing this thing.  So I download it and run the executable.  A console window pops up then goes away - hmm.  We realize that the file did not download correctly (the file size was only 8 bytes).  I tried deleting the file and it said another user or process had locked it.  Not a big deal - get those all the time.  However after rebooting - booting in safe mode - chkdsk - rebooting again - etc. I'm still not able to delete the file.  This sucks because the file is on my desktop - and causes all of the guys at work to laugh at me even harder.

Brian does find this program that deletes the file on startup before windows has a chance to lock it.  It worked (lucky for him).
