Front Row has a few menu’s that never get used (Podcast on my 42″ TV?) These have always bugged me. This gives you three ways to disable them, depending on your level of comfort with the command line and UNIX. The names of the files to remove should be clear. Please don’t remove FRSettings and FRSources. I’m using Podcast as an example, but you could just as easily use Photos.frappliance.

Last week I did an upgrade to our SAV server that failed. This failure resulted in the SAV server being unable to talk to the clients. The new server install laid down a new PKI folder, which is the public key for the server. Once I recovered the old PKI file, the old clients were able to talk to the new server. However, a few boxes were built during that time, and expected the temporary PKI folder that had been replaced. This is how to fix the issue. This procedure should also help you migrate from an old server to a new server (other things being equal.)

We had a major issue where Symantec Anti-Virus would not update some (but not all) 64 bit clients. To make a long story short, it ended up being corrupt files that had previously been downloaded by Live Update, and lived in the LiveUpdate directory on the server. To clear up the problem we had to…

To turn it on, change the key of Debug to REG_SZ of “all”. Make the field empty to turn it off. The key lives in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\ProductControl

This will create the text file C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec AntiVirus\vpdebug.log. When you start Live Update, a dos window will pop up.  After you run Live Update, change the key from all to null (leaving an empty key.)

If you’ve had first aid training, I’m sure you’ve come across this woman….

In 1900, the body of an unidentified young woman, an apparent suicide, was pulled from the river Seine in Paris. Enchanted by the mysterious corpse’s beauty, a morgue worker made a plaster cast of the woman’s face. Copies of this “drowned Mona Lisa,” as Camus would later describe her, soon proliferated across Paris, appearing first in the city’s salons and finally in its literature. Nabokov wrote a poem titled “L’Inconnue de la Seinne.” Rilke mentioned her in his only novel. Man Ray photographed her. A character in Louis Aragon’s novel Aurélien tries to resurrect her.

In the The Savage God: A Study of Suicide, Al Alvarez writes, “I am told that a whole generation of German girls modeled their looks on her… the Inconnue became the erotic ideal of the period, as Bardot was for the 1950s.”

In 1958, the Inconnue was used as the model for the face of Rescue Annie, a popular CPR training mannequin still in use today. Hers is perhaps the most kissed face of all time.
