Undoing a botched cut and paste operation Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

Posted at 4:22:40 PM in Other (4)

Everyone probably already knows this, but I just discovered it. I frequently high-light my material and copy it into the windows clipboard when I go to save my work. To do this, I press Ctrl-A to highlight everything, then Ctrl-C to copy. That way, if I lose the material when the save doesn't work, I can just paste it back in with Ctrl-V. If the program won't open again, I can paste my work into almost any other application and I can save it in that software. Doing this over and over often means...

BP Blog 9.0 linking articles from other pages not with in the provided package

Posted at 2:15:59 PM in BP Blog (6)

On my site, I installed the BP Blog 9.0 package into it's own subdirectory and only put a link to the blog from the main page. The intent was to later incorporate content from the blog into the pages on my main site. My first project was to add the 10 most recent subjects to main page as hyperlinks. The hyperlinks would open the blog page and display the entire article exactly is it would appear if opened from the main blog page.In order to do this, I had to open the database and pull the subject...

Verizon USB 727 broadband modem Novatel Wireless

Posted at 3:47:57 PM in Installations (41)

I just finished reinstalling a laptop and needed to install the Verizoncellular modem. Ifound the drivers online at http://www.vzam.net/download/supported.aspxwhich lists several models. The one for the USB727 was downloaded and installed, but every step of the way, I got pop ups that indicated it couldn't find some part of the hardware. Ihave always installed USB device software first, then inserted the USB device. However, this time, that apparently doesn't work.I'm not sure if it would have...

local.cf for spamassassin in copfilter is blank

Posted at 3:50:15 PM in Software (12)

I suddenly started getting a bad listing in the spam quarantine. The subject field had the first 10 to 15 characters cut off so I couldn't tell what the spam score was. When I looked at the contents of the spam mail, it had a very log description of spamassassin's findings starting with:Spam detection software, running on the system ipcop.<mydomain>.com, hasidentified this incoming email as possible spam. The original messagehas been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam)...

Cargowise EDI SQL server upgrade from 2005 to 2008

Posted at 2:56:49 PM in Installations (41)

Cargowise has a split in upgrade paths depending on the SQL server you are running. We were left out of a new upgrade because we were using SQL 2005, so we decided to make the switch. The instructions from Cargowise EDI for the migration simply are: backup the database copy the backup files to the new server Install 2008 R2 restore the database Re deploy the Controller and web interface.Their instructions start with installing 2008 server first. These didn't work very well for me...

Cargowise EDI shared printer setup

Posted at 2:49:43 PM in Installations (41)

The Controller PC manages all the print jobs in Cargowise EDI. Printers that are directly connected to the Controller PC are available to all the workstations. The printers do not have to be setup on each workstation. Cargowise EDI has it's own interface for selecting the printer. If you have a shared network printer, it will not automatically be seen by Cargowise EDI. The Controller software runs as a service. In order for the printers to be seen, they need to run with the same permissions as...

Using PostgreSQL in bp blog

Posted at 3:57:46 PM in BP Blog (6)

I discovered today that \'s won't save in the database. Right now I have to double it to make it work, but will need to modify the code to replace all \'s with double so I don't have to do it and so it will save it every time.

Blackberry Intellisync error 0x8004fceb

I followed the suggestions on this site:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/8830-Syncronization-Error-code-0x8004fceb/m-p/44843which recommended deleting the intellisync folder from the appsdata folder, however; those instructions were for a Windows 7 PC, possibly a Vista machine also.

Admin login page "Remember Me" always checked

Posted at 2:29:59 PM in BP Blog (6)

It was irritating me that once I un checked remember me, that I had to keep un checking it.  So I looked in the code.  On line 176, the input line for the checkbox has this string in just before the conditional check of the cookie: 

checked="checked" <%If... 

I couldn't find any documentation for this attribute in the <input> html.  However, if that checked key word  is present, the word "CHECKED" provided in the conditional statment will never be used.  Taking checked="checked" allows the login screen to remember that I don't want it to remember.

slapbackguitar.com forums down :(

Posted at 2:04:51 PM in Other (4)

Getting a Unable to load the 'ThemeStrings.english-utf8' language file. error message when I try to access the forums on slapbackguitar.com.  This is the stable forums package being offered by the same guy that wrote bp blog.  Not a secure feeling.  I can't tell if it's a hack or an error in design.

Hope it's backup soon.

Brighttree integration with shipping systems such as Fedex or UPS

Posted at 3:10:42 PM in Hardware (8)

Brighttree is a web-based DME/HME Billing application. My customer is currently using the app to handle the shippment and billing for medical supplies to individuals covered my military medical plans. My customer contacted Pitney Bowes to install Send Suite Shipping to handle their shipping needs. Unlike other Pitney Bowes products this one is not stand alone and not easy to setup. A product specialist came out to setup the computer (which we needed to provide) and connect the hardware to do the...

pure-ftpd on Fedora Linux

Posted at 9:38:17 AM in Hardware (8)

This site had some installation instructions for pure-ftpd. Note line 3 has spaces between the hypen and words in pure-ftpd. Do not put the hypens in. Yum will not download the correct package. I've made some modifications to the instructions to give additional guidance. See:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=147172Note also that pure-ftpd does not allow for matching the date stamp of the source files. This may be critical because if you restore those files, all the dates will be as...
