ASDM Unconnected Sockets Not Implemented

I was attempting to connect to a Cisco ASA 5510 using Cisco ASDM manager. After entering my credentials I received an error: Unconnected Sockets Not Implemented. Who knows what that means. All I knew was that my username and password were correct.

Solution: It turns out that all I had to do was update my Java version. I was running Java Version 6 update 13 at the time, and the ASDM was not working. So I updated to the latest version, Java 6 version 17. I was able to access the device via the ASDM right away. It was all a Java issue. No big deal.

Dispense-a-Pill - Electronic Pill Dispenser

The Dispense-a-Pill has finally arrived. The DAP is an electronic pill dispenser that allows the the user to configure the proper time and dosage requirements. This wonderful device can be filled up with a 90-day supply of medication. It is then set up to dispense the medication at the time intervals specified. This helps remove the stress and danger of missing or inadvertently administering the incorrect dosages.

Automatic pill dispensers are not a brand new idea, but most past devices have lacked the superior features this one has. Tis product is perfect for the elderly or anyone that has multiple medications to take on a regular basis.

For more detailed information please visit the Dispense-a-Pill website.

Windows 7 God Mode

I was doing some research for a web design project I was working on. The website was for a company that does Paintless Dent Removal in Montgomery County, PA. So it is odd I came across this info while doing research for that project. Anyways....

In Windows 7 you can easily create a shortcut on your 7 desktop to access a whole bunch of administrative tools and configuration options. Here are the steps:
1. Create a new folder on your desktop
2. Name the new folder: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. The icon will turn into a little picture
4. Open the folder and you are presented with your list of cool stuff

So try it out. here is the original post I found if you wnat a little more detail before proceeding.
Windows 7 God Mode

As a network admin, I find myself always going into the Control Panel, so this shortcut is a one click way to get to the stuff I need.
