windirstat is a great utility to work out how much disk space each folder/file is using. When you get down to the file level it will show you in a graphical format as the larger the file, the larger the colour block on display. Using this utility it was very easy to find out where the 12gb of disk space had suddenly gone on a server – it quickly showed me that a particular user had a large docs & settings and within that was the desktop and on the desktop were 2 6gb .tmp files!
Remove relocate_server.php file from your website if you are running coppermine gallery 1.4.x
Tomorrow (Fri) is Absoblogginlutely’s second birthday so we gave it a birthday cake
The Brother in law,Dave, is in the background. We then discovered that pumpkins are made of magnets
(No we weren’t drunk when we took these photo’s and it was actually Katies birthday yesterday – hence the “cake”)
Coppermine 1.4.2 is out now so I spent most of Thanksgiving Morning playing with it. There was a bug in the keyword search facility which I worked around and coded a method of sizing keywords depending on how many times they occur in the database ala flickr. I posted about my new search page in the forums and have posted the code for someone else to tidy up and improve as I’m not a good mysql php coppermine programmer. I’m pleased with the results though.
Home depot prices in a flyer they sent me have 4 out of 6 items at a higher price than their normal price – some sale that is. I know companies take advantage of Black Friday but this is ridiculous. However, I wouldn’t mind an air compressor for 7cents!
Use the Microsoft Product Licensing Advisor, a wizard-driven tool that provides consistent advice to help you better understand various Microsoft product licensing and pricing options. Works pretty well and gives you the part numbers and approximate price for the software. US only though.
I was at the bank filling out the mortgage application the other day (as you do) when I realised I had left some important documents on my usb key back at the office, but I had also emailed them to my gmail account. Using the banks pc I tried to go to http://gmail.com and was surprised to see that it was blocked by their content filtering – I guess that they try to restrict web based email so they can control the flow of email into and out of the organisation. However, www.google.com/gmail was not blocked and I was able to access the email that I needed. I also needed to get some dates from the past for the application so thought I would look it up on my blog – except that absoblogginlutely.net was also blocked….so back to google, a search for the terms that I needed restricted to site:absoblogginlutely.net, a click on the cached link and I had all the information that I needed. Just shows how useless corporate filtering is.
Windows Antispyware build 1.0.701 is available to download or you can wait for the existing software to realise that a new version is out and update itself – it currently doesn’t detect a new version is available.

Information Store viewer can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website even though most documentation on the newsgroups states it is in the Support\Utils\I386 folder of the exchange server cd – well it isn’t in our volume licence cd – that folder doesn’t exist.
I’m trying to work out why outlook still tries to send information to a delegate who has been deleted in exchange and why the user can’t be deleted from within outlook (every time I delete them they appear on the delegate tab when I next open outlook). Apparently you follow the instructions at KB 253557, making sure you are NOT in cached mode, but I don’t see the Schedule+ EMS message that I need to delete. adding another user to a delegate creates the ems message that I need to delete. However, doing all of this doesn’t help as the delegates magically come back when I log into outlook. I am now exmerging the data out to a pst file, deleting the mailbox and recreating it again.
