Maple Syrup Pie Recipe from Aux Anciens Canadiens Restaurant
In January, I decided to take advantage of vacation deals and went to Quebec for a weekend to explore Quebec, Chateau de Frotenac, and the Ice Hotel. I had an incredible time overall. During my stay at the Chateau, I wandered around a bit and discovered the Aux Anciens Canadiens Restaurant, supposedly the oldest building in Quebec. The restaurant is located in the historic Maison Jacquet, just down the block from the hotel. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. After my incredibly sumptuous dinner, they presented me with a dessert menu and I noticed one I've never had before called the Maple Syrup Pie. It was the house speciality so I decided I had to try it right away. If you can make it out there, I highly encourage you to go to the restaurant and try the restaurant's amazing food. Until you can enjoy this unique dessert at the Aux Anciens Canadiens Restaurant, you can make it yourself with this easy recipe.
How to remove win64/sirefef.AE trojan & c:\windows\system32\services.exe win64 patched b.gen trojan
I'm kind of the default "go to" guy for all PC issues with friends and family. One of the most common problems people bring to me is malware. Going forward, I'm going to document the removal process for some of the more difficult ones I encounter. The most difficult trojan I've encountered thus far is the sirefef.AE trojan. It infects the PC by replacing c:\windows\system32\services.exe which is pretty ingenious in that it's extremely difficult to remove since Windows requires it and it's always in use which keeps the antiviruses and applications from being able to remove it. I just spent a few days battling this one and successfully cleaned it off the system. To remove it:
Uninstalling Trend Micro Client/Server Security without a Password
Lost or forgot your Trend Micro Client/Server Password? How about inheriting a computer that had the software installed by an IT team or consultant that won't give up the password? I had to work on a network with the latter and it's rather annoying. The product is utter crap as the machine is spyware infested even though the antivirus is running and present. I went to uninstall it but can't because the previous person/company password protected it and nobody has it. Here's how to bypass the protection:
Rockstar Collection
Here are some photographs I took of various Rockstars at the Uproar Festival 2012 that I'm particularly proud of. I've moved these to my photography blog as I had to disable my Flickr plugin due to extremely poor performance.

Drobo Dashboard Can’t Connect to Drobo when ESET Firewall is Active
Have a Drobo storage unit? If you have ESET Smart Security Firewall enabled, you'll probably find Drobo Dashboard can't connect while the firewall is on even after adding all the required ports and services to ESET's rules from the Drobo online help site (http://goo.gl/iVKVU). After enabling the detailed logging in ESET, I found that ESET's firewall was flagging Drobo Dashboard as an intrusion attempt and blocked it. From the Drobo help page (http://goo.gl/iVKVU):
Reading JSON through JQuery from Cross Domain ASP.NET Web Service
Recently I had an issue with JQuery and accessing JSON from a cross domain ASP.NET Web Service. After much googling, I stumbled upon many articles that provided no fix that would solve the issue. Every sample I found was some derivative of the following code:
