I've decided to open up a new folder just for my geeky posts, just because I'm making so damn many of them. You can access that as blog/geek.

My geek moment of zen for now is a little program called imagecfg.exe. It's released as part of one of the Windows Server Resource Kits, apparently, but I was unable to really actually find it anywhere on Microsoft's site. You can find it here, however.

It's a simple enough utility, it just sets processor affinities for any third-party binary. This is a lot more useful than you'd think, especially if you're a fan of vintage gaming. I just started playing the original Deus Ex again, and it doesn't play so nice with multiprocessor systems. Using imagecfg to lock it into a single CPU makes the game run smooth as pie, even from an external drive.

Look forward to more geeky tools and tricks and what-have-you.
