Anyone notice how slow Gmail is these days? I’m hoping the talk of Gmail and Firefox 3 making things really fast are true, because I’m almost at a point of pointing Outlook at the imap server and stop using the UI.

Oh I wish Jason Richardson’s 3pt would have beaten Kansas, we would have gotten to see more of the man, Stephen Curry. His performance and that of Davidson has made this year’s NCAA tournament special.
It’s amazing that Curry was not recruited by ACC schools coming out of college. The guy is Dell Curry’s son, for pete sakes, did anyone in the ACC ever see Dell play and didn’t see the similarities in Stephen? There is a reason Dell was able to play 16 years in the NBA, the guy was slow, but could shoot the lights out. Great shooters are so rare. Watching his son school the likes of Georgetown, Wisconsin, and Kansas was priceless.
Oh well, on a bragging note, I did pick the final four in my bracket and have a fighting chance to win our pool :).

I really like HSBC, they have a nice UI interface, you can easily setup re-occuring transfers, their customer support is good, and they offer a competitive rate savings interest rate. That being said, man their servers are dead slow. This isn’t the first time either, it’s an almost every other time thing when I try to hit their website. Anyone else have issues trying to get to a HSBC web site? When I do a tracert the problem is clearly on their end. For a company that most of their customers access via the web, this isn’t good at all. I’m thinking about moving over to ING Direct.

You gotta love this quote about the recent Stock Market surge:
"The reason we’ve rallied the last three or four days is people are saying ‘Hey, even if this paper is worth less than people think, the Fed is willing come in a buy it at some level,’" said Charlie Smith, chief investment officer at Fort Pitt Capital Group.

After installing MySQL 5 on Windows Server 2008, I kept running into an issue trying to run the MySQLInstanceConfig.exe (screenshot below). After checking the event viewer, I found an error of:
MySQLInstanceConfig.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "…MySQLInstanceConfig.exe" on line 6. The value "asAdministrator" of attribute "level" in element "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1^requestedPrivileges" is invalid.
A quick google came up with a workaround and a fix which involves an oldie but still goodie, ResourceHacker. This should be the same for Vista too.
