911 dispatcher helps save his own son

911 dispatcher helps save his own son:

kaytee:

OLYMPIA, Wash. - A Thurston County 911 dispatcher helped save his own son’s life.

On February 4, Chris Scott’s wife Janna called 911 because their 6-month-old son Jacob was choking. He was unconscious and had stopped breathing.

The dispatcher who answered was her husband. The couple recognized each other’s voices, but had not time for pleasantries.

Chris Scott calmly talked his wife through a procedure that cleared the boy’s airway.

Janna says there’s no doubt her husband’s demeanor saved her son’s life.

His supervisor, Tammy Clark, was impressed by Scott’s calm manner during the call.

When she told him, “You saved that boy’s life,” Scott responded by saying, “That was my son.”

“I always dreaded getting a call like that. I didn’t know how I’d handle it. I guess I handled it pretty good,” said dispatcher Scott.

“He’s a pretty calm person,” Janna Scott said about her husband Scott.

Scott is a Marine reservist who recently returned from Iraq.

Incredible huh? I don’t know what I’d do if it was me….

Bureaucratic Stupidity

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:01:28 +0800

Recently at work, I encountered my first case ever, of bureaucratic stupidity. Due to “security concerns”, firewall ports are not to be opened 2 ways (ie only uni-directional).

In the firewall port application form, the column says “Please state uni directional or bi-directional”. Since I needed Server A to talk to Client B both ways, I filled in “bi-directional”. The application form was rejected, with the “security concerns” as the reason for rejection.

However, when I re-filled the form and now I split it up like so:

1. Sever A -> Client B (uni-directional)

2. Client B -> Server A (uni-directional)

They approved it. Makes you go “doh!” doesn’t it?

Speed Up Your Vista Network Connection

Speed Up Your Vista Network Connection:

Yeah seems to work… I was surprised when default Vista network connection showed only about a 70Mbit speed when copying files over a local home network. After this tweak, it went up to about 80Mbit to 90Mbit, but still not at the same level as my XP had - ie full 100Mbit speed.

How To Hotsync Your Palm PDA To Windows XP 64-bit

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:56:06 +0800

This is written for people who still are using the older Palm PDAs, such as Zire, Tungstens et al. I am writing this disclaimer simply because this is untested on newer Palm products, but in theory it should STILL work.

The crux of the problem is that there isn’t a USB “driver” available for Windows XP 64-bit, hence people who run Windows XP 64-bit are suddenly unable to hotsync their Palm devices via the cradle/cable.

If your Palm device has a Wifi connection available, such as the Palm T|X, *and* your PC is also on a network, then you can overcome this problem. Nowadays, almost everyone has some sort of a home network set up, so this should be easily available.

Select “Network” in addition to other methods you would like to sync, in the Hotsync Manager
On your Palm device, select the Hotsync icon
Tap on the “Network” tab
Configure (if not already done so) which PC on the network you want to hotsync to. Choose either to sync via IP address or Hostname. I use IP address myself, although if your home network constantly has people hooking up and logging out, you might be better off with using hostname.
Naturally in step 4, the IP address or the hostname must be the one where you’re running the Hotsync manager on.
Hotsync away!

It shouldn’t matter which version of the Palm Desktop you have. I can remember the “Network” sync option being available as early as Palm Desktop 4.0 or even earlier, ie in the early 2000’s.
