Software I either produce, think about producing, wish I produced, or drool over the thought of producing... or something
There's been a problem plaguing our SalesLogix install since 6.2x. Our sync service would randomly hang on our Windows 2003 Server box. Eventually it became more well known as more people began upgrading to Win2003 I believe and this confirmed it.
It's been over a year since I last posted and I return with a whiney post regarding work issues. The main reason I stopped blogging regularly was I typically talk to the majority of my readers on a regular basis, and I felt like just about every other post I was complaining about something. Complaints are fine but when you're reminded of nothing but crap you're dealing with, it doesn't exactly make the experience "fun". What exactly has happened in a year? Obviously I've been playing a lot of the ......
I'll sum up this post in the shortest amount of words possible: the DST 2007 update from Microsoft breaks Intellisync for SalesLogix.
My buddy Bill recently has been requesting ideas for his upcoming Speech Server book. He discussed tone of the material and I thought I'd elaborate a little on the difference between a conversational and a technical reference tone. I remember certain things about my CS (Computer Science) 101 class not because of Pascal (the greatest language EVAR (only because it was the first that turned the development light on)) but because the teacher had a way of relating the material to us in a way we could ......
The title and post is a somewhat inside joke between my friends and I. When we make accomplishments together like beat a level in a single player game, one of us typically says something like “I did that. I unlocked that car all by myself. See that? I just beat the game...” or something completely arrogant yet partially true. Yes we may have made a contribution but it was a team effort that we all willingly condemn. When I saw this page on the IEBlog: Better Website Identification and ......
http://www.atlantacodecamp.com Tomorrow, bright and early. I get a chance to hang with my homie Bill, who also happens to be presenting on something I know nothing about: the Compact Framework. Maybe after his presentation I can understand his posts about SqlCE and start to develop an appreciation for those devices I loathe (PDAs and Cell Phones). I suppose it's not so much the device, as it is the OS that I've been in contact with (Palm, ugh!). Cell phones are a whole other subject, worthy of therapy ......
I posted 2 new articles on my conceptual OS. They're found here and here. I could have probably lumped them together but I think they deserved a little bit of room. I've kind of run into a road block as far as design goes but I have a couple of more articles I want to touch on: Security Security Hierarchy Networking Automation Usage Optimization Defragmentation Core Applications Configuration Management (CP) Process Management You can pretty much tell what kind of work I do based on these topics ......
The Task Today I was given the wonderful job of security analyst for a friend of the family. Basically to put it simply I had to go fix their computer or else I would have been crapped on by the powers that be (my father). The computer would restart every time it got on the internet, so I had to burn a CD of programs I would take and/or use. Not thinking clearly I didn't make a multi-session disc and that would come back to bite me later as I'll explain. I go over to their house and have one look ......
We've recently switched servers at our office and in doing so I setup a new corporate domain to match our name and the DNS of a domain we actually own and don't do anything with. In the migration I broke a number of things but one of them happened on just one PC: Intellisync for SalesLogix. SalesLogix comes with this branded version of Intellisync that simply synchronizes SalesLogix data to Groupwise, Notes 4 or 5, and Outlook 2000-2003. From there we use the Palm synchronization tools to synchronize ......
Hotmail vs. Gmail I have used hotmail extensively before I got a gmail account and I still use it as my primary personal email box for spam purposes. I've yet to receive spam in my gmail inbox, so I've made it a point to use it as wisely as possible. Hotmail has a huge limitation in their free service: 2mb storage. I subscribe to a SalesLogix discussion group which fills up those 2mb in roughly 2 weeks give or take a couple of days. Every so often I would archive all of the messages using Outlook's ......
