Manually Removing a Vignette Installation

October 03, 2003 at 19:04

In the event that one or more CDS or OMS machines are installed and the CMS has been removed, going into Add / Remove Programs and uninstalling Vignette will fail with a message that Vignette must be “unconfigured” first. Unfortunately, without the CMS running, nothing can be removed in the Platform Manager and so the whole installation must be removed manually.

Rear window wipers

Does anyone actually use these things??? It's pouring rain in Chicago and driving down the road this afternoon I haven't seen a single person with them on despite seeing many cars with this option installed. Go figure. I use mine.

Thirty-something

October 03, 2003 at 14:00

Well, today is the big day (for me) - I have finally turned 31 and am officially, "thirty-something" as Ketra has reminded me. Didn't there used to be some TV show called thirty-something? Probably I didn't ever watch it because the age of 30 seemed quite far away. I can think of friends I haven't seen in awhile where the "while" has gotten to be about 8 years or more even though it seems like last month. Time sure does fly.

I have a large family. The Sieg family in the McLean county area of Illinois alone has well over 100 members. In fact, about 60-70 of these get together every year in the summer for a Sieg reunion. I am working on publishing the history and genealogy of the Sieg family online.

Zip Codes and Distance

September 23, 2003 at 14:29

Recently I was informed that the TCF Bank website is not able to provide a list of banks near a given zip code. Surely we have all used a search like this by now. You go to a website, type in your zip code, and the website returns a list of locations which are near the given zip code. You might get a list like this:

Coolness on Romance Life Radio

September 09, 2003 at 09:54

Romance Life Radio has almost passed the 200 mark on number of users who have added the station to their presets. I think that is pretty cool - 200 users thought enough of the station to save it for future listening.

2003 Howard's Grove Run/Walk

September 08, 2003 at 21:47

On September 6th, 2003 we gathered at Howard's Grove in Wisconsin to run a 5K. It was a bright, sunny day and the run went very well. Our group did very well. Chris Peters got 3rd in his age group and my wife Ahu got 3rd in her age group. Tessa's parents each got 1st in their respective age groups. Ahu set a personal best for the 5K and I set a personal best of 27:50 for the 5K. I've run it faster in practice but this was the fastest I ran it in competition. The next race is the Lake Geneva Triathlon next weekend followed by a 5K in Lake Mills, Wisconsin on October 11th.
