I suffer from pet allergies, as well as a host of others, and let me tell you it really isn't fun. Sneezing all the time and in severe reactions having a hard time to breath and breaking out in hives. Just not what I would call "a good time". But when I go to peoples houses and they own a so called "hypoallergenic dog" yet I still keep sneezing and having a hard time to breath, they keep telling me that it's not their dog. I've said it for years and now I have proof that "Hypoallergenic Dogs" DO NOT FUCKING EXIST.
Proof: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3680143/
That is all. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Tablet Thoughts :: Nvidia Shield - Do we have a winner?
Specs:
| Processor | NVIDIA® Tegra® K1 192 core Kepler GPU, 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex A15 CPU with 2GB RAM |
| Display | 8-inch 1920x1200 multi-touch Full HD display |
| Audio | Front facing stereo speakers, dual bass reflex port with built-in microphone |
| Storage | 32 GB (WiFi+4G LTE) / 16 GB (WiFi-only) w/ MicroSD slot |
Accessories:
Stylus
Gamepad/Controller
Cover (Magnetic)
Biggest plus on this thing are the CPU and front facing speakers. The speakers even add base reflex system. Lets just say that I can't wait till the local shops have some stock cause upgrading to this from my original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is gonna be a blast. Couple this tablet with the GTX 980 which should be released soon (hopefully sooner than later cause my GTX 580 is getting tired) and you've got more gaming then you can shake a console at.
Looking forward to playing with this and if I'm not too busy having fun I may stop back in here and provide an update. ;o)

Quick Tip :: Powershell and CMD one liners
List the all processes by Memory use
Windows command line (cmd.exe)
C:\> tasklist /NH | sort /+65 /R
Powershell (Start>Run type powershell and hit OK)
Get-Process | sort ws -Descending
Top 10 only
Get-Process | sort ws -Descending | select -First 10
Alternative with full *.exe name and memory use only (in Megabytes)
Get-WmiObject win32_process | sort WorkingSetSize -Descending | Select-Object -Property ProcessName,WorkingSetSize | Format-Table ProcessName,@{label="WS(MB)";Expr={[math]::truncate($_.WorkingSetSize / 1MB)}} -autosize
Alternative again, but only returning the Top 20
Get-WmiObject win32_process | sort WorkingSetSize -Descending | select -First 20 | Select-Object -Property ProcessName,WorkingSetSize | Format-Table ProcessName,@{label="WS(MB)";Expr={[math]::truncate($_.WorkingSetSize / 1MB)}} -autosize
List hard drive info (Exclude Removable and CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Drives)
Powershell (Start>Run type powershell and hit OK)
Get-WmiObject -class win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType != '2' AND DriveType != '5'" | Format-Table
Same thing but of a remote computer
Get-WmiObject -class win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType != '2' AND DriveType != '5'" -ComputerName server.domain.net -credential domain\userid | Format-Table
Get Windows Service(s) information
PowerShell - Get status of a specific Service
(Get-Service -DisplayName 'Spoo*').status
Get status of a specific Service on a remote machine
(Get-Service -ComputerName server.domain.net -DisplayName 'IBM Cog*').status
Side note for the above 2 examples: As there is a wildcard ('*') in the name these commands may return more than one if the wildcard matches anything. I'm just lazy and don't like typing. :P
Display all services and then sort by status then name
Get-Service | Sort-Object -property `@{Expression="Status";Descending=$true}, `@{Expression="DisplayName";Descending=$false}
That's it for now. As I come across/use more I'll post them here.

WTF? :: Ferrari sends Deadmau5 a Cease & Desist for customizing his car
I'm sorry but this is just plain stupid. Makes me want to never ever buy a Ferrari (Not that I could ever afford one). It's his car, he bought, he should be able to do whatever he wants with it. Including custom badges, floor mats, and vinyl wrapping the car.
Speaking of custom badges, if you are looking for some check out this site.

Blogger :: Issues with transparent images & quick fix
So I was writing a new post and decided that it needed more visual appeal then just plain text. I decided that I would add a "tools" icon that had transparency at the beginning of the post in hopes it would draw more readers to read the full post. So I add the image in the Blogger Post Editor without issues and keep writing. Well imagine my surprise, when I "Previewed" the post and the background of the image was coming through. Ok, ok, it wasn't like "ZOMFGWTFBBQ NERD RAGE !!!", it was more like Mr. Horse saying "No sir, I don't like it".

Tegra Note :: Review links and thoughts
Review links:
Android Central Review
Anand Tech Review
Engadget Review
Thoughts...
Oh so close. Now if they can only produce a more high end tablet that others would want. That said, and as the reviews allude to or outright explain, I totally understand why they chose the hardware the way they did. They did it to keep costs down to compete with Google's Nexus 7. For me, I'm personally not looking for a "budget tablet". I want a work horse that can do it all and I'm willing to pay for it. Just not $600+. I think $350 - $450 depending on features/hardware is reasonable for a tablet.

Cognos 10+ and access to create Drill-through Definitions
During a recent upgrade of Cognos 8.4.1 to Cognos 10.2.0 one of my developers noticed that he no longer had access to create Drill-through Definitions. The item in the menu was gone yet administrators still had access to it. I did a quick test and added him to the "Drill Through Assistant" capability with full permissions. After a log out and log in he had the Drill-through Definitions menu item again. So I started to do some digging. Turns out the functionality was changed but was never added to any of the Cognos 10 documentation up to and including 10.2.1.1.

Thoughts on the new Samsung Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
So I've been holding off on buying the current Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 on account that I knew Samsung would be revealing new tech during the Berlin IFA show. So imagine my excitement as I read on Android Central that they have hands on with the new Samsung Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). Well my excitement turned to bitter disappointment as I read through the article and saw the pictures. Hit the break to so see my gripes on the new hardware.
