When I was in high school, I thought that I'd go into programming when I went to college. I got sidetracked with networking, and I'm just now getting back to programming. I kept up with web design, but now I'm looking into Vb, C, C# and other languages that will allow me to create programs that I either can't find or can't afford. Programming is just a hobby as network administration will still be my focus, but I hope to post source code and helpful information that I come across in my endevours into various languages.

If your struggling with Web Design, go check out OSWD.org. They have plenty of examples that you can use, or simply gain inspiration from. My design is refined from a design there. I am still removing the many <table> tags that are littered throughout the design I liked. I've been able to replace around 40% of them with <DIV> statements which are more flexible in their design and implementation. I'm leveraging Cascading Style Sheets with them to be able to replace the <tables>. Even with CSS, it may be impossible to replace 100%, but the code is already more flexible with the ones I've replaced. In case your wondering, DIV can dynamically resize the area that it defines where tables more difficult to get them to act in the same way.

Utilities I've created.
You can freely use these. I've got ideas for additional functionality, but haven't gotten to it. If you have a suggestion, please email me at adam_carnahan At msn

ListSched - Created with C# using .Net 2.0, ListSched is a utility to list the scheduled tasks on a remote system. Run it without any arguements for the syntax help. It outputs the tasks in XML format which can be imported into databases or parsed by other languages to be used in reporting. This program does require you to have "Local Administrator" privelages on the remote system.

SCv2 - Created with C# using .Net 2.0, it's an alternative to microsoft's sc.exe service controller utility. With SCv2 you can use either the ServiceName or the DisplayName since most people know the display name rather than the internal ServiceName. For Example:
w3svc or "World Wide Web Publishing Service"

LsCrash - Created with C# using .Net 2.0, This tool queries the minidump folder within the target machines systemroot. This only lists the crashes that created a minidump. Windows may have crashed without creating a dump & therefore this tool will not report on that. Each minidump is named Mini-MMDDYY-xx to designate the Month, Day, Year, and the xx is a sequential number for each crash on that peticular day. Run it without any parameters for the syntax help.
