Regarding your comment at

I never 'bite newbies'. That comment was left as a joke by my brother. Altho i don't have a way to prove it.E smith2000 (talk) 16:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice! If you want your color choice to "stick" you need the '#' in the color declaration (I added it in your sig below). On the other hand, your sig looks good in standard link blue (I didn't realize it *was* standard until I started writing this comment); it seems to 'fit' the wave effect. – 74  23:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi E, I noticed a post you made on the help desk. (on CPU testing proggie). Do you have experience writing a bootable partition to a thumb drive? I'd like to make one of my thumb drives bootable (preferably using an ERD .iso or BartPE.iso file) but could be convinced to use Ubuntu if need be. I've done some reading on the web about it, but most of the sites I've seen make it appear to be more difficult than it should be. I'm looking for a point by point type of thing to make a bootable thumb.

• format thumb drive as FAT
• download xyz.zip, and run on computer HD
• insert thumb and run prog. abc.exe from xyz.zip
• copy folder q to thumb.

something easy to follow ... ya know what I mean?

If you have experience in this field, and could help, I'd be more than happy to repay the favor in kind - maybe put some work into an article of your choice or something? ... Thanks, Ched.

Hi there, the only experience i have with making a thumb drive bootable is installing a OS directly on it from a computer that does not have a hard drive. It has worked very well. i have a 4 gig drive with a fully updated virsion of ubuntu 8.10 with some windows repair utilities on it. So far the only problem with it that i have come across is if i load a driver for medium to high end video card, it will give me problems when i move to another computer. So to Avoid that i simply use generic drivers. I hope this helped. – Elliott  17:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I've made this edit in order to properly alpha locate you at Wikipedia:RD regulars. I also made this edit when I realized that your username started with an uppercase "E". Please let me know if you prefer your username shown on your userpage to begin with a lowercase "e" as there is a fix for that. -hydnjo talk 19:56, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.– Elliott(Talk|Cont)  19:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip, I did know but {{NoAutosign}} will cause SineBot to stop signing my comments altogether, which may be seen as disruptive by some editors as they would have to check the history to see who the poster was - and I recall at least one Ip being blocked for exactly this recently. It seems there is not a way to have SineBot sign comments and not post the reminder message.

This is true. But SineBot is here to sign the posts of people who 'forget' to sign their posts, you can sign it your self by adding ~~~~ to the end of your message. That will tell wiki's html compiler to sign it for you.– Elliott(Talk|Cont)  20:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lol, I am aware of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.88.87 (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively you can simply leave SineBot's tag on your talk page, as i did. The bot wont keep reposting it, it will simply notice that it has already place that tag there and then leave you alone.– Elliott(Talk|Cont)  20:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, tried it here and it didn't work. Also note User talk:193.115.175.247 who has 21 messages from SineBot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.88.87 (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear to me why you reverted my change to the "Public Enemy" article. The change I made helped the article by removing recent vandalism. Should I expect that changes I make that improve articles will be instantly reverted? (note, the initial unsigned change was actually mine) Mrowat (talk) 07:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do apologize, I only read it very quickly and noticed a lot of missing text, i also apologize for forgetting to place a tag on your talk page.– Elliott(Talk|Cont)  07:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does sound like a good idea indeed. I'd like to know about it. Sherif9282 (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elliott,

Sorry for the late reply. The customer waited until yesterday to call me back. I just got back from his house. I started reconfiguring the network connections on his computer, but after a couple of hours, he had me leave. I disabled DHCP on the router and ICS on the desktop. His wired connection had been assigned a static IP address, so I tried setting the IP address in his router to the IP address for the wired connection in the desktop. Then I set the laptop to use a static IP assigned by the router with the router as the default gateway. Nothing I tried seemed to work, though, and he never gives me enough time to finish. I think you had the right idea, though, and if I had got the implementation right, I'm sure it would have worked. I recommended that he purchase a wireless repeater before I left, but he said he'd try to get the current setup to work. I was wrong about the cable being crossover, by the way. The yellow color of the cable threw me off.

Well, I'm glad I probably won't have to deal with it anymore. It is probably out of my league, anyway. Thanks for your suggestions, though. I really appreciate it!

Regards,
