i’m not lost and I’ve upgraded my install to include the nofollow tag after downloading and reading the instructions from movabletype’s announcement. What they don’t make clear is that if you are running v2 of MT then you only need the file in the plugin directory, you don’t need to worry about the php file. (The document refers to one file being needed and then gives you two to install!)
We’ve been having various problems with outlook2k3 when the clients have been synchronising with the server. The error message that they are getting either contains 0x80040115 or 0x8004011D. This only happens when the offline address book is being downloaded. Unfortunately, the address book that they are trying to download is from a server that no longer exists and in the “home domain” of the client desktop machine. What they should really be downloading is the addressbook that is stored on the new exchange server. I spent a couple of hours searching on google and following lots of dead ends before starting to investigate further into the realms of registry, user profiles and permissions…….See more for the fix.
I knew about the /GB switch with exchange as there was more than 1GB line on the machine but I didn’t know about the The /USERVA Switch
switch. I do now though!
What I’d like to know is that if you MUST put this in the boot.ini why doesn’t the installation program do it for you? I wouldn’t have thought it would be difficult to check the OS and the memory capacity and edit a boot.ini or at least warn you in a popup that you need to do it.
MoonAmtrak reminds me of the time I went on the Magical Mystery tour around Liverpool to do the beatles thing. As we were driving along in the coach we got mooned by a couple of kids – much to the amusement of the american friend I was with at the time.
Google announced yesterday that they will not consider links in a webpage if surrounded by a nofollow tag. The upshot of this is that comments can be surrounded by the nofollow tag and google will not consider these links in pageranking. When I first read this it sounded a great solution to the commentspam problem. If everyone follows this solution, then there will be little point in doing the spam and hopefully it will stop – but therein lies the problem – everyone needs to follow it. Scoble reports that already MSN and yahoo have announced they will also use this tag. Also interesting that they’ve done this in a couple of days/hours as opposed to having to use a committee to do it.
It will be something that I’ll be looking at putting in my MT implementation soon (details from their news page on how to do this) – when I get some time!
I’m trying to work out how to include a RSS feed into an index page of one of my blogs and came across Learning Movable Type: Simple RSS Customizations. Although it has not yet provided me with an answer, it has provided me with some more reading to do on other rss matters.
rssparsers might be handy for doing work outside of MT but the best source I found so far was mt-rssfeed plugin but I have not got that working yet. But it’s late and I need to go to bed so I will try again another night.
Dave has his Gmail Tips – The Complete Collection in one place and makes some very helpful and useful tips. For instance, I didn’t know that you could use [email protected], replacing something with tags so you can track your email. I do something very similar at the moment with my helsby.net domain but this will be handy for gmail. I’ve actually started using this for my testing now – any emails with +test now go directly to my testing label category and do not appear in my inbox.
I have a couple of invites left if anyone wants one btw.
Update Not all the tips are valid now – the unread label doesn’t work as thats included automatically but its still worth the 15 minute read to find out something new.
Google have released a new version of picasa according to theGoogle Blog. Although I downloaded the original Picasa I must admit I didn’t use it much, mainly as I didn’t take the time to understand how to use it. I use paintshoppro almost exclusively for my editing and organise pictures into “albums” by storing them in directories on the disk or in my web page gallery
Interesting that the check for updates in the old version of picasa didn’t know there was a new version to download.
PS If you do download it, then read the readme.html file as it tells you want they spent time programming and the new features.
January technet arrived today which I am excited about. If you subscribe to the plus version, which was a free upgrade when I renewed my subscription, you get copies of the latest Microsoft software with the time limits removed so I can now have VirtualPC, Windows2003, SQL Server etc running with no time limits. This will be a big boon in my attempt to get current in my certifications and the addition of VirtualPC means I do not have to have extra hardware lying around the office just for temporary machines. Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade the desktop machine to a nice fast,powerful, lots of disk to run all these virtual machines.
STGViewer is a great utility for recovering individual files from the activesync backups that get created on your harddisk normally in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\pdaname
