I know all of you have run into the problem where a colleague forgot to log off after using a remote session through Terminal Services or Remote Desktop. And then you get the beautiful 'there are too many users connected' error. Solution!! Go to Command Prompt, type qwinsta /server:196.34.56.78 It will give you the following result: SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE console 0 Conn wdcon rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd rdp-tcp#8 Administrator 7 Active rdpwd rdp-tcp#9 Internet 8 Active rdpwd Choose the...
I found a cool site while searching for a bit of not-my-line-of-work stuff... We are in the process of deploying to production, but for some reason the sys admins tells us that we can't use Remote Desktop to connect to the servers. They are moaning about licensing issues, but afaik you have 2 free licenses - that is the way we are connecting to all our other servers? Now we have to connect through DameWare, which I don't know well but have a couple of irritations: 1. It is slow 2. I can't ALT+Tab...

From Finance24.com : “South Africa's fixed-line monopoly Telkom (TKG) will, with effect from August 1, cut ADSL and data prices - with the entry-level internet access product down to R270 a month, the dual-listed telecommunications giant announced on Thursday. “ “HomeDSL 384, middle-level solution for residential customers, is set to be reduced to a flat rate of R359 a month from R449. “ At least it's something ;) Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit...
SUPPORT!!!! Hell, I need to send mails to Groupwise and be able to track them. (We're on a Novell network). So I found the Groupwise Object API and started to code against the GroupwareTypeLibrary. Searching for this object in Google only return 1 1/2 pages of results. Now start searching for properties, methods etc... you get nothing, niks, nada! Now sending works perfectly, but when I try to get any other info on the messages I sent is where the problems start... The mail object has properties...
Now this is interesting, I was adding a style to a page and wanted to use a light gray color. So I typed BACKGROUND-COLOR: LightGray, but when I tested it, it didn't work. So I used Visual Studio's color picker to check what the HTML value is and then I noticed that light gray is spelled LightGrey in Visual Studio!!! I thought that I maybe made a mistake by thinking that grey is spelled gray, and had a look at the other grays in the color picker. All of them is spelled grAy... Hehe, I wonder who...
Just updated my RSSBandit to the Beta version - what an improvement!!! With the Alpha it was actually a pain to read blogs, as Armand's will end up in Julie Lerman's folder, and Kimberly L Tripp's will be in Senkwe's and and and. The worst was when the news blogs took over some other blogs - I just unsubscribed from them after a while :) Go get it... PS: Stumbled across this yesterday, if you ever wondered: Where does the terms alpha & beta testing come from? “In the 1960s, IBM decided...
Hmm, call me slow, but I only found out today that I can just double click a .reg file to add the settings to the registry!!! Up till now it was File, Import, Search.... I wonder how many little things there are that can make your life easier that you just don't know about... Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!
A colleague of mine showed me the other day that you can use Query Analyzer to get data from normal text files by using the Microsoft Jet Driver. So say you get data in a text file, but you don't want to import everything, then you can first query the text file getting only what you need! I was quite impressed... So what do you need? 1. test.txt with the following content: ID;Name;Tel 1;Maryke;011 2;Shantelle;012 2. schema.ini with the following definition: [test.txt] Format=Delimited(;) ColNameHeader...
