“Did it help?” says this poster. It did help the US Olympic team for sure.

Sochi 2014. New Olympic mascot

Russia loves it’s heroes. For example the new mascot for Soci 2014 Olympics is called Cheburashka. According to the story, Cheburashka is a funny little creature, unknown to science, who lives in the tropical forest. He accidentally gets into a crate of oranges, (possibly American or Australian as the crates are labeled in English) eats his fill, and falls asleep.

Cheburashka is a name invented by the puzzled director of the shop where he is found. The salesman takes the animal out and sits him on the table, but his paws are numb after the long time spent in the crate, and he tumbles down ("cheburakhnulsya" (чебурахнулся), a Russian colloquialism, "tumbled" in English) from the table onto the chair and then from the chair, where he could not sit, for the same reason, onto the floor. The director of the shop, who witnesses the scene, called him Cheburashka.

This is why I live in California.

Blue sky and it's warm.

This is why I live in San Francisco and not Moscow.

Howto: extract files from a .msi file using the Windows command line

Every once in a while I need to extract the content of a .msi file in order to customize a deployment for a particular network environment. Sometimes initializing the .msi installer will temporarily extract the files into C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp, but those files are removed once the installer exits.

To extract files from a .msi file at the command line, type:

msiexec /a PathToMSIFile /qb TARGETDIR=DirectoryToExtractTo

For example, to extract files from f:\zenworks\zfdagent.msi into c:\zfd701 you would type:

msiexec /a f:\zenworks\zfdagent.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\zfd701

The destination directory does not need to exist prior to running this command.

Comcast cable internet. Is it worth 100 dollars more per month?

I downgraded my internet today. I was paying 169 dollars and now I am paying 59 dollars. The sales rep told me my new service will be noticeable slower, but apparently both services are the same. Why was I paying 110 dollars more?
