RE: [OT] And the saga continues ...

[Bill Arnold]

Kris,

I didn't mean to come across indifferent to the difficult times Steve
and yourself are faced with today, I was just projecting how I deal with
difficult times, which is typically to study, make decisions, and then
think about other things - usually the future. When I thought about
yourself and Steve, it struck me that you must be thrilled to finally be
moving into your house, so that's where my thinking led. 

Of course you guys have some real hardships to manage at the moment, and
in that regard I wish you the strength to deal with it, and the peace of
mind to find happiness in even the smallest things.

Compare Report files

[Andrew Stirling]

Hi
I managed to 'Recompile all files' which has resulted in my master 
reports all having the same date.
Is it possible to compare 2 separate folders of reports (I have another 
folder of 'working reports')to see if there are variations?

Thanks

There are various 'DBF compare' utilities around, since the report files 
are just DBF files with different extensions you could maybe leverage 
one of those.

The house is one of our joys and one of our problems right now. We are over
budget, and I have just requested an increase in our loan amount. In the
meantime, the general contractor who is at least partly responsible for our
predicament is throwing his substantial weight around saying he is going to
shut down production on our house because the overruns mean his bill has not
been paid in full. We just received his invoice a week ago.

The overruns total approximately $100K, and are primarily due to our
difficult building site. It is beautiful, but it sure has been tough.

The contractor is saying things like the bank is going to take back our
house and we will lose the whole enchilada, and he'll finish building it
anyway.

So at the moment I'm just doing what I need to so that the loan increase can
get processed, and trying not to lose my head over the construction
problems. I have to believe that we are doing what we are supposed to be
doing, and that this is going to work out, even though I am frightened.

I was wondering how to compare the records
COMPOBJ will do nicely.

Ditto Dave & Alan

The other pain is I have an online backup system, Carbonite, 
unfortunately it had backed up the redated files 30 mins before I 
remembered about it.

So I was a twit twice in 1 hour.

[NF] Microsoft not handling DST well

[Whil Hentzen (Pro*)]

You would have thought the world's largest and most profitable software 
company could have figured this one out

"The workstation patches are easy, the stand alone Outlook tool is no 
big deal. If you're running Exchange and you try to run the Exchange 
update tool 930879, good luck. It's a crap shot," said Microsoft 
customer Paul Marsh.

"I was requested to call Microsoft support because of my particular 
problem," Marsh said. "I called Microsoft support. I was 117th in the 
queue and was informed the wait was 3 hours. I waited 4 hrs and 45 
minutes but no one ever picked up. If I hear Microsoft hold music again 
I think I'll go mad. The bottom line is 'Hello Microsoft! There is a 
problem!' and we have something like 42 hours to figure this out."

Well, sure, just look at their track record...

I've checked, and all the Linux servers under my perview have updated
to tz2007m or so (the 13th update to the timezone system this year -
amazing how many places change the rules annually!) and the US DST
shift has been in place since 2005, apparently. I guess the big worry
is not the OS, though, but the subsidiary apps like calendars and
workflow servers (or whatever you'd classify Exchange as) that do date
math.

Hi Bob,

I'm based in Europe - mostly London but I commute regularly to Denmark
too.  I would have thought a flight wouldn't be difficult from London,
Stansted.

Re: [NF] Microsoft not handling DST well

[Richard Kaye]

And in addition, if you have a W2K box there is no patch distributed via 
Windows Update because W2K is in maintenance mode and this apparently 
isn't considered a critical update. According to a co-worker, you have 
to pay MS $4000 to get a patch. OTOH there is a utility called TZEDIT 
that you can run on pretty much any version of Windows and manually 
change the TZ info.

Yeah right. You can get the 3rd party patch here, so you don't have to
do it manually on NT/W2K, and it'll even work on higher platforms for
simplicity's sake:

http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/01/unofficial-windows-2000-daylight.html


We have hundreds or even thousands of computers/stations running our
software in turnkey installs where the owners have no clue about how
to maintain a computer, let alone think about something like this. We
had to send postcards to all our customers with a current support
contract and link them to a page on our site with instructions on
updating their computer system-- we wrote a tool that they can run on
the 'server' and it will push it out to the stations automatically.
Even still, I suspect there will be a very large number of calls
starting Sunday with people wondering why their systems are off by 1
hour...

I doubt he'll listen, but the nurses told me that it was the people who 
are worried about becoming addicted that DON'T become addicted, and that 
your body heals faster if it doesn't have the stress of pain.  I just 
know I didn't get hooked on vicodin.  :-)   YMMV.

Securely Erasing a Hard Drive Before Giving Away - How To

[George]

How do you securely erasing a hard drive before giving it away?

Any suggestions on software packages (free is good) would be greatly

Keeping the OS would also be good.

So if one runs this util, how do you know it fixed it? Is there a value 
you can check that specifies the patch i.e. SR2-2b or whatever, or would 
you have to do a before/after view of the registry key it makes mention of?

[NF] getting rid of hardware

[Andrew Stirling]

Further to George's hard disk, I have a Camera 'PowerShot A70' which 
cost £200 a year back. Now has a problem with the zoom lens. The quote 
to look at it was £100 so we bought a new one.

The question is what do we do with the Broken camera. It feels stupid to 
put it into a landfill site (bin it)

Anyone know where I can send it to (UK)

Thanks

Uh, I dunno.  I got this from an earlier post.  I did not look to see if
there was a tech support link at the site.  I just ran the utility and
called it done.  Trusting soul that I am eh?

What's a couple of years among friends?  Some people never did the 2000 run
with MSDE, so this would be a first for them Ted.  Some of us have been
there and done that.  I was just trying to help people if they were
considering 2005 express as an option.

You know how to do what is in these videos so don't waste your time in a
download.  Hahahahaha

Offer it to a local camera shop or university.  If it can be fixed and given
away great.  That is after you give it to the one to fix it.

LOL!

I had a Czech bus driver on a 2 week trip last summer.  When he wasn't
driving he liked some beer.  Myself and two others did as well and with our
guide as we closed down Germany, Austria, and the CR on a daily basis.

Hi Kristyne!

Throwing his weight around? Is he really.

Did anyone estimate the project? Isn't the estimate supposed to be correct? 
Don't people who present themselves as expert enough to write such budgets 
have to carry malpractice insurance? Questions you could raise with a lawyer.

I have mentioned that perhaps he has some culpability in those overruns. :-)

As far as the lawyers go, I'll only call one if things get a whole lot
worse. I know where the money went. I wrote all the checks. It was all
digging holes and breaking rocks and waterproofing and drainage and
backfilling and so on and so forth. The problem only made its ugly presence
known when we went to draw from indirect to pay the general contractor and
the bank said they had been paying it out all along. IOW, it was gone
already and they hadn't told us. So that's how we managed to fork over all
that extra money without realizing we had such a big problem.

I think we'll get it solved. I don't know what the solution will be yet, but
I believe that we haven't come this far for this long just to get slapped
down in the last two months. It could happen, but my gut says it won't.

Further to George's hard disk, I have a Camera 'PowerShot A70' which
cost £200 a year back. Now has a problem with the zoom lens. The quote
to look at it was £100 so we bought a new one.

The question is what do we do with the Broken camera. It feels stupid to
put it into a landfill site (bin it)

Anyone know where I can send it to (UK)
