Fix Slow WebDAV Performance in Windows 7

By Chief Oddball on December 18th, 2009 at 8:39 pm

Filed under Journal, Randomness ··· Leave a Comment

I have an iPhone file storage app called Air Sharing that uses a WebDAV server to let you connect to it with a PC. For some reason, a few weeks after installing Windows 7, file transfers to or from this (or any other) WebDAV server became incredibly, mind-numbingly, literally-33.6K-dialup slow. And yet, from all my other computers in the house, even those still running Windows XP, file transfers over the LAN to my iPhone were as fast as you’d expect.

Today, finally, I got so sick and tired of it that I — gasp! — searched for a solution. To my embarrassment, I found the answer in just a minute or two, illustrating quite succinctly just how much time I had been wasting just “putting up with it.” Oddly, the culprit is none other than Internet Explorer 8. Quite simply, all you have to do is turn off IE’s automatic proxy settings detection. Here’s how to do that:

  1. In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, then click Internet Options.
  2. Select the Connections tab.
  3. Click the LAN Settings button.
  4. Uncheck the “Automatically detect settings” box.
  5. Click OK until you’re out of dialog hell.

Immediately after doing this, file transfers to my iPhone graduated from CompuServe Modem Simulator to Transwarp Conduit Simulator. It was that much of an improvement.

I found the answer on this Microsoft Technet discussion, incidentally. The solution was posted by “Daniel CD” about two-thirds of the way down the page. Props to that guy.

Gotta love Intarweb collaboration.

Pork Buns, Pork Buuuuns

By Pooch on July 29th, 2009 at 9:10 am

If you’re like me, you often sit in front of your computer screen and think, “Y’know, Weird Al has done so much to advance the cause of parody music in my lifetime. But what I really want is for someone to make a goofy parody of that kooky Asian pop music I listen to.” Then, if you’re also like me, you silently weep because you’re too white (and possibly nerdy) to do such a thing yourself.

But guess what? You’re now in luck: Patty Yu has taken the initiative here, creating the alter-ego BaO, who sings a paean to pork buns based on Korean pop star BoA’s U.S. debut single, “Eat You Up”:

I’m wasn’t a big fan of BoA’s original, but — like Weird Al’s own parodies of songs I didn’t initially like — I find Patty’s version entertaining and goofy, which made me warm up to the original a bit…to the point where I almost kinda like it now. I especially like the cameo by “Kim Jong Il” getting down with some pork buns and a couple of hotties. And not only is the quality of the parody song itself impressive, but the video is also quite well-done, something that can’t be said about many self-made videos in this day and age (and believe me, I say this as someone who has helped make some of those shitty self-made videos in his lifetime).

In a perfect world, this would be a win-win situation for both artists: Patty would be recognized for her creative talents, and BoA would get some badly-needed publicity for her English-language debut album, BoA, which is getting a re-release in September (after flopping pretty badly upon its original release this past March). Normally I’m against double-dipping like this, but considering the original album seems to have had an initial press run of about 25, a re-release might not be a bad thing (note: I’m not saying this is the ONLY reason the album flopped, but it couldn’t have helped).

You can follow Patty at her web site or Twitter, and spread the word if you’re so inclined. And BoA too, I guess. (Seriously, am I the only person in the world who doesn’t have a Twitter account? Should I rectify that?)

I now return you to your regularly-scheduled Oddball Update. Tune in later this week for the five-part epic “Chief Oddball Cosplays as SV-7“! You won’t want to miss it!

Edit (8/1/09): I now have a Twitter account, so I am no longer the only person in the world without one. Hoo-ray!

Root Beer Float

By Pooch on May 5th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Filed under Randomness ··· 2 Comments

Peter Tork stained by root beerSome point, over a decade ago, Chief Oddball and a couple other friends were at my house, hanging out in my bedroom. Some time beforehand, one of those friends had given me a tiny cutout of Peter Tork’s head, taken from some magazine. Anyway, I was drinking a root beer, and at some point I spilled said beverage. Droplets of sugar water fell on the picture of Peter Tork, prompting me to scream out something along the lines of, “AAAAH! I spilled root beer on Peter Tork!”

Why do I mention this? Stained comic pageBecause, several days ago, something similar happened. I was sitting at my computer desk, with a tall, frosty glass of root beer next to me on my desk. I reached for the glass and — horror! — I knocked it over (mind you, this was a full glass of root beer I’d just poured). My desk (not to be confused with my computer desk, which is next to it) was immediately covered with root beer, and I went into panic mode. I immediately grabbed a load of towels from the linen closet and went to work. My wallet, my keys — and even a CD I had lying there — weren’t spared the wrath of the root beer. Even worse, some stuff not even on the desk was badly hit, as I found out once my panic had died down: both my sketchbook and every single page of a comic I had been dabbling with for the last several months were now brown and soaking wet. They had been sitting under my desk and had bore the full brunt of the root beer as it swept off the desktop.

Needless to say, I was crushed. But then something happened: I realized it could have been a lot worse.

You see, on the other side of the floor under my desk — opposite where the sketchbook had been — is a power strip. This power strip not only has my computer, monitor, and what not plugged into it, but also my cable modem — which supplies my house with not only internet access, but also cable television and telephone service. As soon as I realized this, my anger began to subside into an awkward form of relief — if I’d spilled the root beer in the other direction (and if the bookshelf on my desk had been set somewhat differently), there’s a good chance I might not be writing this post right now. If the worst that happened from my accident was a few soaked drawings and a sticky keyfob for the car — instead of potentially losing my PC, internet, phone and TV access — then maybe things weren’t so bad.

Ten Things

By Chief Oddball on April 25th, 2009 at 4:15 am

Filed under Randomness ··· 1 Comment

In my last post I promised that this was coming, so now here it is.

Ten things I miss about the U.S.:

  1. Family. Since my parents have a habit of visiting Florida once every couple of months or so, going for half a year without seeing them has been different. I’m looking forward to seeing them again, as well as my grandmother and my good friends up north when I next travel to Michigan sometime this summer.
  2. Driving, American cars, and the freedom that comes with. You probably can’t really appreciate the importance of being able to choose your own destination, and thereby your own destiny, until it’s taken away from you. Because otherwise, really, you’re beholden to somebody else, whether it’s a family member, a roommate or the local bus driver, any time you need or want just about anything. Think about that the next time anyone wants to make it harder for you to choose your own method of transportation. Plus, I really miss seeing the kind of cars on the road that we have in the U.S. They’re far more…interesting.
  3. Western food. I like many different kinds of cuisine. But when you get right down to it, I have to give the nod to culinary creations from the western world as being my favorite. Exposure of this kind of food in southern Thailand is limited mostly to club sandwiches (seriously, almost every place has one), cream of mushroom soup and pizza. I recognize the health benefits of Asian food, but you know what? Right now, I can’t wait to get home and eat a burger.
  4. Internet technology. Thailand still has a little ways to go when it comes to Internet connectivity, and the seriousness with which said technology is taken by Americans. In the U.S. today, the Internet is on its way to becoming a full-fledged utility, like water and electricity. Surveys show that people are ready to drop cable TV like a hot potato in this economy, but not their Internet connection. Here in Thailand, when your Internet services flakes out — and it does often — the technicians at the ISP consider it with about as much importance as you would the complaints of a three-year-old who didn’t get as much ice cream as he wanted. I can’t tell you how good it’s going to feel to get back home and have web pages instantly appear and downloads complete in mere minutes instead of an hour.
  5. Peace and quiet. This is all a function of where you live, naturally. But I’m a big fan of serenity, and I’ll say one thing for our stodgy gated community in Florida: We get a lot of serenity there. Between our housemates, the all-night dogfights outside and the thumping music that went on until just before 3 a.m. this morning, urban Thailand is a whole different ballgame. When we get home it’s going to feel like we stepped into the Cone of Silence. Except that ours actually works. In fact, it may just be too quiet to sleep. That might be, ah, a problem.
  6. English-language media. It’s going to be refreshing to hear the English language spoken regularly again, on TV, in movies and by people around us. It’s been easy to fall into my own little world here when I can’t understand the conversation around me. Although I’m starting to pick out words now — at dinner tonight, for example, I knew when my brother-in-law ordered a guava juice and that he asked the waitress for the small size fried chicken and shaomai appetizers. Hey, it’s a start.
  7. Cooler temperatures. It gets hot and humid in Florida, sure. Not this hot and humid.
  8. Domestic travel. Apple and I want to go more places and see more things in the U.S. and Canada, while we’re able. Our first order of business will be to take a few days’ vacation on a beach somewhere on Florida’s east coast, where there’s nothing to do and not even any mobile phone signal to be had. Further down the road, I hear the Disney Vacation Club is building a resort on Oahu, Hawaii that should be done in 2011…
  9. Outdoor exercise. My workout sessions in Thailand are limited to an indoor exercise machine. I’ve been itching to get back on my bike and feel the wind on my face while I’m getting a workout at the same time. (But first, I need to take that goddamned broken hub protector off.)
  10. Online gaming. I want to get back to my legit Xbox and reliable Internet connection so my friends and I can play against each other online again. What with the ISP instability, it just got to be impossible here.

Ten things I’ll miss about Thailand:

  1. Family. It’s a foreign concept to an only child who was born to two only children, but Apple’s big, traditional Chinese-style family is like a big, warm, friendly unit, and it’s pretty cool. Sure, it’s also full of drama and craziness that can occasionally send Apple over the edge, but I’m sure she wouldn’t trade it for anything.
  2. Crazy freedom. “Sometimes I think there’s too much freedom here,” Apple sighed at one point during our stay in Thailand, which seems like an odd concept to a Libertarian. I can see what she means, though — sometimes the lack of laws, regulations or active oversight on just about anything makes it seem a little more like anarchy than monarchy. But in a way, it’s refreshing and freeing knowing that you don’t have to worry about getting sued if someone falls in a hole in the street outside your place of business, or that if you make a simple mistake, it’s not likely to cost you everything you have.
  3. Beautiful beaches. I speak particularly of Koh Samui, which is bar-none the most beautiful place I have ever been on this earth. But there are other great beaches all over Thailand, as well. If you like beach destinations, you couldn’t go wrong by coming here.
  4. Fresh fruit, natural ingredients, et al. Thailand is filled with exotic fruits like the Phuket pineapple (much tastier than the ones we get at home), Thai guava and mango — and that’s just for starters. Just about everything you eat was cooked with fresh ingredients, including fish that was caught the morning you ate it. Best of all, there’s been relatively little introduction of preservatives, pesticides or crap like the Great Satan itself, high fructose corn syrup, unlike back in the U.S. I mean, they still make soft drinks with sugar — and they taste great!
  5. Cheap stuff. Sometimes inexpensive merchandise costs what it does because it’s garbage that will fall apart on you three days after you get it home. But most of the stuff in Thailand is a bargain for someone making an American salary, yet the quality is excellent. Clothing is the best example; it’s the same damn stuff you buy off the rack for $60 at home, except it costs $3 here because the place where they make it is next door. Even the high-end stuff is affordable; we never went to the Fuji Japanese restaurant because everyone always warned us that it was way too expensive, but when we tried it, we found it to be a great value considering the quality of the food, and still cheaper than an equivalent meal in the U.S. All in your perspective, I guess.
  6. Working in a different time zone than everyone else. It’s quite freeing indeed when 99% of your coworkers are busy working while you’re asleep — and more importantly, while you’re busy working, they’re not available to interrupt you. It’s also much easier to set your own hours; I’ve been getting up at 10 a.m. and working until 7 in the evening these days. It just works for me. I supposedly have that freedom at home, too, but I know my boss prefers it if I match hours with his people at HQ, so I essentially live on Central Time. It’s a bit more grounding.
  7. Corporations that don’t suck. I don’t know whether American corporations just like to take advantage of people, or whether they need to because the American government is taking advantage of them. Either way, the consumer usually gets the shaft. Compare this to Thailand, where in many industries, there are still lots of perks to be had just for patronizing a particular business. Banks hand out free swag like it’s going out of style, families build up entire catalogs of free dishes and glasses just from sending in proofs of purchase to vendors, and mobile phone companies — get this — just sell you a SIM that you can put in any cutting-edge phone you want, no contract needed. Is that cool or what?
  8. Thai massage. I just finished having perhaps the best massage I’ve had yet. And at the cost of about $10 per hour, there’s no way you’re getting anything like this in the U.S. for a similar price.
  9. Medical care. If you’re a Thai national, you can get medical care for a couple of bucks if you’re willing to put up with a grungy ward and undesirable conditions, or a few hundred bucks if you want something better. You can take your child to the doctor as many times as you want, even if you just have a question — if the doctor finds nothing wrong, you pay nothing. When you go to the dentist, it doesn’t suck. I mean, it’s amazing.
  10. Simpler lifestyle. People here, by and large, live the kind of life I wistfully alluded to in my previous post. Most of them work hard, do their jobs, and spend their off hours with family and friends. There seems to be a lot less frenetic rushing around and inability to leave work at work, if you know what I mean. Family is still a very important concept in Asian culture, and one that we Americans should want to rediscover.

One more week to go.

Classic Post: My First Brush with Evangelion

By Chief Oddball on January 23rd, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Filed under Randomness ··· 4 Comments

The following is a collection of opinions first posted on my original blog, regarding my first complete viewing of Neon Genesis Evangelion. For those who are unfamiliar with it, Evangelion is a Japanese animated series that ran in the mid-’90s. It featured a complex story that dealt with the human condition, existentialism and the end of the world in a futuristic sci-fi setting, which utilized the anime mainstay vehicle of giant weaponized robots while parodying that genre at the same time.

Widely regarded as either one of anime’s greatest works of genius ever, or a hopelessly overwrought piece of animated garbage, Evangelion managed to capture my attention and keep my brain working for hours and hours trying to make sense of it all. If you’re someone who, like me, enjoys overanalyzing works of mind-twisting ambiguity, you too may find it more fascinating than frustrating.

With the renewed interest in Evangelion stemming from the recreation of the series into four feature-length films, I thought it might be an interesting time to revisit not only the series, but also my own thoughts from my first experience of it — and see how the passage of time and the evolution of my own existence has contributed to a different understanding of its mysteries.

As part one of this undertaking, I present the following amalgamation of blog entries from early 2003, written during (and immediately following) my first viewing of Evangelion.

Posted 2/4/2003

Evangelion Publicity Art

During the evenings when my wife works, I enjoy a bit of “dinner theater” — watching a DVD of some sort on my 57″ widescreen TV while I eat. For a while now I’ve been reviewing the entire Star Trek original series, but having exhausted all the episodes I own, I went looking for other options last weekend. For some reason I selected the first volume of Neon Genesis Evangelion, a legendary Japanese animated series that I was introduced to by friends back in high school. I only own the first DVD (four episodes) in the series, as for some reason when I bought it I never really “got into it” enough to buy more. Anime DVDs aren’t cheap, you know.

But then last weekend I watched the entire first disc again — and for some reason, it had a totally different effect on me this time. The story seemed so unbelievably compelling, I felt like getting in the car, going down to the store and buying more DVDs from the series. Maybe I was just in an anime mood, but I was struck somehow by how cool the whole thing was. Normally I’m not much for the giant mech combat that seems to be a hallmark of anime, but this is different.

Not only is it a good story, but I really love all the high-tech user interfaces, warning messages and readouts the series utilizes throughout. And I had forgotten just how good the music in this series is. The voice acting is spot-on, too (and I don’t mean the dub; I wouldn’t watch the dub if you shot my arm off.) Overall, it’s a complete package.

So I decided to complete my collection of Evangelion as rapidly as possible. Normally that would mean buying seven more individual $25-30 DVDs, but the entire TV series is now available in a handsome boxed set. Since I found it on an anime retailer’s website for $103, I’m going to order it. After that, I’ll have to pick up the two cinematic features that were created after the series’ end. But I guess that’s the advantage of taking forever to warm up to something like this — by the time you want it, it’s more highly accessible and usually cheaper.

Pizza Huh?

By Chief Oddball on January 15th, 2009 at 11:44 am

Filed under Randomness ··· Leave a Comment

The developers of a new shopping plaza in Nanjing, China have done something amusing to attract the eyes of tourists, business prospects and gullible westerners alike. Rather than stick with plain vanilla facades on storefronts that have yet to be leased, they’ve created a “virtual mall” of parody shops and merchandise, taken after those of real businesses.

There’s some debate as to whether this is actually a mall filled with reproduced fakes for sale — the kind of stuff you can already find in China as it is — or just a publicity stunt meant to spark interest in the plaza. After doing some investigation, I tend to believe it’s the latter.

There’s no denying the hilarity of these photos, though. I particularly like the “KLG” restaurant whose sign depicts a fat chicken wearing a Colonel Sanders string tie.

Nice hackjob on the logo seal, there

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009

By Chief Oddball on January 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm

Filed under Randomness ··· Leave a Comment

Here’s something I don’t do on this blog very often: a meme. A couple of days late given the subject matter, but better than nothing. Besides, this year I really am going to try to post more. ;)

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Tie between:

  • Went to Thailand twice in the same year.
  • Finally visited my company’s Kansas headquarters (I was the last employee who hadn’t yet been there).

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn’t really make any “formal” resolutions, but I did say I’d like to post on Oddball Update more, and I certainly failed at that one (there are 9 pages of topics for 2008, vs. 13 pages for 2007). I did, however, mention having the wherewithal to go with the flow and do what needs to be done, which I did accomplish to some degree.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My sister-in-law Cherry gave birth to a new daughter this year.

4. Did anyone close to you die?
My paternal grandmother.

5. What countries did you visit?
Thailand. And the plains of Kansas, if that counts — at times it sure felt another country.

6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
Willpower, particularly as it applies to making myself get some exercise.

7. What dates from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Lots to choose from. Bad stuff:

  • The day we found out that Apple needed surgery, earlier this spring.
  • The day we found out that our first try at IVF didn’t succeed.
  • The day we found rats in the attic and I watched $600 of money partially earmarked for my birthday present disappear in a flash. (Fortunately I made the money back from a sidework client a month later).

Good stuff:

  • The day I landed a huge stash of Xbox games in Thailand. Score!
  • The trips to Disney World that we took this year.
  • Got my iPhone — practically a life-changing device.
  • Apple’s birthday, during which we went shopping and had a relaxing evening meal at a nice restaurant.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Two big ones: Getting our brand new company websites and online store launched in January, and actually getting to the point where I am proficient in Flash CS3 (and to the point where I like it, too).

9. What was your biggest failure?
The failure of our first round of IVF was disappointing, but not a failure over which we really had any control. My biggest personal failure was the complete clusterfuck that became of a website SEO job I signed on to do. The site’s SEO performance went in the toilet shortly after I got my hands on it, and I never was able to bring it back up. I have no idea what went wrong, or even if it was my fault. But I suspect that I’ve cost myself a client with that cock-up.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Other than a plugged-up ear and a case of the flu, no.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My iPhone. Tie for second: My TiVo HD and my modified Thai Xbox.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My wife, for putting up with my erratic moods. ;)

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
A handful of the United States Congress and a large swath of the American citizenry who seem content to throw the domestic auto industry out with the trash.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Mortgage, HOA, taxes, IVF fund.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Starting our first attempt at IVF and hoping it was gonna work the first time. Also, I got plenty excited about the trips we took and the goodies I bought.

16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
Probably “2080″ by Yeasayer, either that or “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
b) thinner or fatter?
c) richer or poorer?
a) Sadder, I guess. To tell the truth, I don’t really remember how I felt during this time last year.
b) Fatter. (Working it off now.)
c) Richer.

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Exercising, particularly riding my bike. Also, I think my wife was on the right track when she replied, “Relax and enjoy life.”

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Stressing out over stupid shit, especially at work.

20. How did you spend Christmas?
Working.

21. Did you fall in love in 2008?
Nope. My one true love affair’s been going on for over a decade already!

22. What was your favorite TV program?
Of new TV programs: Battlestar Galactica, season 4.0. Hard to believe it was actually 2008 when it ran (from January through March). Of old TV programs: Deep Space Nine. I still can’t understand why I hated it when it was on in the ’90s.

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Not really. I’m only counting personal acquaintances, though.

24. What was the best book you read?
Definitely something from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch series. Probably “Unity” by S.D. Perry.

25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Symphonic rock! And MP3s of all those goofy old Star Trek records I used to rent from the library as a kid. Scotty sounds like an Italian plumber!

26. What did you want and get?
A ton of stuff, most of which I already mentioned above.

27. What did you want and not get?
A child.

28. What was your favorite film of this year?
I guess nothing stood out, because I don’t remember seeing anything that came out this year (other than the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace, which was good but not especially memorable).

29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I was 28. Oddly, I don’t remember what I did. I know we went out to eat somewhere that evening. Just can’t remember where. I got my iPhone about a week later (had to suffer through the aforementioned case of the flu first) as a gift for myself.

30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I repeat: Stop stressing out over stupid shit.

31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008?
About the same as it’s been since, oh, 1994 — with the addition of greater awareness of new hair styling methods.

32. What kept you sane?
1) Hope. 2) Hobbies and personal pursuits. 3) Here in Thailand, tons of Star Trek.

33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Celebrities are completely irrelevant to me. As a public figure, Barack Obama sure was (and continues to be) inspiring.

34. What political issue stirred you the most?
The financial implosion and the political narcissism that contributed significantly to it, for which absolutely none of the involved parties took even the slightest responsibility.

35. Who did you miss?
I missed my two grandmothers, whom I don’t often see — one of whom passed away this year.

36. Who was the best new person you met?
All the guys at the Kansas office were really cool.

37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
Don’t obsess over the “what ifs.” What’s done is done. Do everything to the best of your abilities, don’t worry about other people’s problems, and you should have no regrets. I know, I know…easier said than done, right?

Greatly Exaggerated

Much to my delight, Cilantro Tamales (my favorite local Mexican restaurant) is still in business — at least, their original North Naples location is. I don’t know why their website is down and their phone rang unanswered last time I called, but the business is very much alive. And tasty as ever.

Somebody call the Feebs?

When I rolled up to work in this car, my boss said, “I figured that either someone’s grandpa was coming to visit, or it was the rental they gave you.” Personally, I felt more like Agent Mulder. It’s singularly unexciting, but it sure is comfortable.

What The Frak Is Going On? (The Battlestar Recap Post)

By Chief Oddball on April 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 pm

Filed under Randomness ··· Leave a Comment

As you might be aware, the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica starts on the Sci-Fi channel this Friday night at 10:00 p.m. ET. Interestingly, it will also be aired early — at noon ET — on SciFi.com!

So I was watching TV earlier, when I noticed that my TiVo was showing “Battlestar Galactica Special” as the sponsored link on my home screen. I clicked selected it and discovered a pretty cool recap video, which sums up the entire first three seasons of the show in a smash-cut, slightly tongue-in-cheek manner. Great stuff. And it was just enough of a memory jog to get me exactly where I need to be for Friday night.

Need a memory jog for yourself? Here’s the clip. (Just ignore the pointless countdown at the beginning.)

I don’t often praise “Komcast,” our cable company, but I have to give thanks to them for ponying up the Sci-Fi HD channel. This is one season of BSG that I’ll be watching in glorious high-def.

At least until we go to Thailand. Then, it’ll be torrents to the rescue.
