Turning off the "Do you want to restart?" Pop-up Dialog

If you ever need to disable this annoying pop-up for Windows 2003 Server, here's how: -

Click on Start --> Run...
Type in services.msc and press the [Enter] key.
The services window should show up now.
Find an entry in the list for "Automatic Updates".
Right-click on "Automatic Updates" and select "Stop".
The dialog message box should not pop up now for the rest of the Windows session.

I find this particular useful for automation, where this dialog box could pop-up and then cause the automation scripts to fail and stop running. In addition, you make be working with software products which requires you to have an older Windows service pack to be installed instead of the latest one so that the product can be installed correctly.

Happy 2nd Birthday Amelie!

Another step up the age ladder for my daughter Amelie (populary known as Tongtong too). Time certainly has flown, and with each day, it doesn't get any easier! She's started to form her own opinions and learning to express them in various different ways. She's a clever little one, but still lacks a certain amount of discipline. That's probably going to come from me, because Chien-yu is a little soft. I just hope she knows it for own good when I give her the smack-botty when she steps out of line. Last night we sang her the birthday song just before we slept (its was about 1am already). After a couple of choruses, she picked it up quickly and sang her own birthday song! Well, almost anyway, because sounded like "Hapi tu tu tu you". More practise for next year! I will add photos later on this evening.

Amelie finally back in Taiwan! Have missed her for three months, but have been busy at work, not had chance to catch up with her. However, Amelie did some catching up herself...with her favourite Mister Donuts! You must cut down on those foods!

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.
