You can’t. Outlook (and several other email clients) enable you to include stationery or background images in your email message to dress up the look of your email messages. Currently, Gmail does not render these images as expected. Read on for some of my thoughts about stationery….

First off, I need to step up on my soapbox for a moment….

I really never understood the draw of background images or stationery in email messages. Other than allowing you to inject a bit of individuality into a message, what purpose does it really server? I personally find them typically distracting, not so much the images themselves, but the content chosen. Some are elegant and pleasing to look at, but some are just plain distracting. (more…)

PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that make your laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle. As of Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick. This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time during system idle.

However… there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside the kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can see how well your system is doing, and which components are the biggest problem. (more…)

Well my fellow Lazy Admins, things have certainly been rocking and rolling around here. Even though the post count is a little lower than we liked, we now have a few new TLA regulars. Marco Shaw will be keeping you on the up and up around PowerShell. He has even started up a Virtual PowerShell usergroup.

This week both the original Lazy Admin and the even lazier replacement (me!) will be hanging out in Toronto at SecTor. This is a really exciting event, and I have been looking forward to it for many months now. To celebrate this inaugural event I will be posting about the event, and at the same time I will be highlighting some great new security features in Windows Server 2008.

Stay tuned throughout the week we’ll be posting some pretty exciting security related material.
