Outlook vs. My CPU

Yesterday I noticed that Outlook 2007 was chomping down about 50% of my CPU on a continuous basis. I thought it might be syncing folders and such in the background (I am linked to an Exchange account), or performing an archiving process. So, trusting in the fact that I hadn’t seem the issue before I just let it go…..overnight. In the morning, still running 50%. Umm….. Okay, close down outlook. Note that Process Explorer still show it running….

Fast Lane!

Until recently I’ve used Cincinnati Bell’s Zoomtown server as my Internet provider. I’ve rarely had problems with their service, until one day I realized the speed I was getting. They advertise up to 5 Mb/s download speed and I was getting < 1 Mb/s. Ouch! I called in and they tried tweaking the connection and router settings, but it didn’t help. I was just too far away from their closest switch.

What's On My Phone

Hmmm…looks like I’ve been tagged by this by Kevin. I think the original question was what do you have bookmarked on your phone, so to answer that: Burlington KY Weather via mobile NOAA Google Search mobile edition Fandango mobile edition, for seeing movie times, reviews and plot descriptions. UPS mobile edition for tracking packages WCPO mobile Home page for checking local traffic. WVXU online stream. This one of the local NPR stations that offers streaming content online.
