A Mini Comic-Con at the American Library Association

The only cons I get to go to are librarians' conferences, such as the annual meeting of the Texas Library Association. The cosplay efforts are generally...pathetic.

But that might change! The annual conference of the American Library Association will convene in Chicago from June 27-July 2. There will be geek-themed events during that time for what the organizers are calling GraphiCon:

For the second year, GraphiCon will inspire ALA Annual Conference attendees to innovate and raise the profile of graphic novels and comics in their library or school. A range of programs and author events, plus “Artist Alley,” the Graphic Novel Pavilion and Graphic Novel Stage in the exhibit hall will offer information and creative inspiration, as well as chances to ask questions and discuss ideas. 

Amanda Brennan, the resident librarian at Know Your Meme, tweets "Does this mean I can cosplay ALA?!" Definitely.

We run the server edition here as a service for our exchange2003, and while this error probably wont occur at the server/serice level. It sure is annoying to see, like that whole HP/Winupdate pulldown menu fiasco.

Altho from time to time the service will just shut off for no reason, and then the bosses call and want TPS reports on the why they got 300 junk mails. =D

I ran into cloudmark issues when the workstations had Nod32 installed. The combination of Nod32, Outlook Express, and Cloudmark just did not blend. Fun times…

I had this same problem with Outlook Express crashing when you create,reply, or try to fwd email. It would appear to be trying to create multiple emails *(ghosting), then lock up and crash. The error report was showing the problem being the ntdll.dll. I exhausted all suggestions
1.Resinstalled SP2
2.Reinstalled IE7
3.Removed all anti-spam programs
4.Tried applying every patch I could find on the microsoft web site that might apply
5.Repaired database
6.Created a new identity
NONE worked,
THEN I ran across a forum that mentioned a bad signature file or default stationary set in OE, or 1 that is no longer there.

SURE enuff..fixed it immediately. I had a signature
in mine, and had reinstalled windows, that carried over these settings.
