Another Problem with the petsafe collars
Monday, April 14th, 2008I had another new problem with the collars this weekend, went and looked and one of the dogs collars is missing the battery.
They switched the new collars so the batteries are not internal to the collar they are not attached to the outside with their own housing.
Obviously I liked them better being inside and screwed [...]
Ubuntu Desktop
Thursday, April 10th, 2008Well with updates yesterday Ubuntu managed to break my evolution and flash in firefox :) However with the updates today everything seems to be fixed and running smooth. I was forced to run vista yesterday because of all the problems I was having, today is much better and I’m back on linux. I still need [...]
Evolution Frustrations
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008I continue to have more and more frustrations with Evolution’s exchange connector.
It ran really good yesterday and was happy today when I saw updates today for evolution. However after installing it seems to work worse than before. :( I’ve got alot of things to do today so I’m going to stick with vista until I [...]
Finally got my java working in ubuntu.
Saturday, April 5th, 2008To refresh, I could always get java installed, however if I installed Sun JRE 1.6 my desktop applications would run, but not my web applets. If I installed the IceTea version that mozilla wanted it would fix my Webaps and they would work however it would break my desktop applications.
Installed Sun JRE package from Synaptic, [...]
Biggest problem with Linux versus windows.
Friday, April 4th, 2008Is user laziness, and I find myself to be a big culprit. I find some things so much easier on Linux than windows. But I find more and more things that are easier on windows than linux, and not because linux is lacking, just that I’ve used windows for many years, and its second nature [...]
evolution missing emails from exchange
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008I had a user today who had emails missing from their inbox in evolution (on Ubunutu). If they went into the exchange owa they could see that they were still all on the server however they were not in their evolution inbox.
to fix this I shutdown the evolution client
evolution –force-shutdown
Then deleted the the .evolution/exchange folder [...]
Petsafe dog collars
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008They really should go to a buckle instead of those plastic snaps. I understand that the plastic snaps are easy to take on and off but with my dogs, my old ones and my new ones, when they get playing and biting on each others necks they break the claps really easily. When I had [...]
Evolution mail owa exchange connector
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008The biggest hurdle that I am trying to come to grips with these days in my linux desktop project is the evolution owa exchange connector. This thing is really buggy, I am constantly crashing evolution, and constanting getting syncing errors.
Today I also had the worst possible scenario where I sent and email and it went [...]
