Because of the Commonwealth Games, Daylight savings doesn't finish (or is it start?) for another week. So the time now is still 11.37 (instead of 10.37). On the 2/4/2006 the time will go back 1 hour.

Most operating systems need a patch to cope with this.

For Windows you can download a patch through Windows Update (note it is not a critical update it is a critical update).
Mac OS X Tiger uses can update to 10.4.5

For Linux and FreeBSD users (should also work for Mac OS 10.3, 10.2 etc) there is a great blog post here about how to update your system:

EDIT: Even though this webserver has been updated my post still shows 10.41. I'll need to look into this.

Seems like joker.com is having issues with their DNS again:

Joker.com currently experiences massive distributed denial of service attacks against nameservers.
This affects DNS resolution of Joker.com itself, and also domains which make use of Joker.com nameservers.
We are very sorry for this issue, but we are working hard for a permanent solution.
Thank you for your understanding,

Your Team of Joker.com

For my maths subject at uni we use a program called Mathematica (3d equation modeling etc). To give access to this program at home the uni uses Citrix MetaFrame (Citrix also developed the system behind Windows Terminal Services). This program is like Terminal Services but at the application level. It works on both PC and Mac.

I think this ad is pretty funny.

Yes I'm meant to be doing uni work, but yeah...

Every now and then I get automatically generated spam sent to this website. Most of the time my spam system catches it and stops it from appearing on the website.

Just today I've been receiving some spam from an internode user

I'm in the process of talking with abuse@internode.on.net in the hope to catch these people.

Don't spam my site, especially if you're using an Australian internet connection.

PHPBB (a popular forum software) has been stuck at version 2.x for a long time now. It has been plagued with many security issues, a long with poor W3C standards.

Version 3 (formally 2.2) which has been running years late is now almost ready for beta testing. I wonder if this new version will bring phpbb up to standards.

Are back yet again ;)

Every time I change the router the link changes. Although hopefully I can stick to the current one, seeing I spend over $300 on it ;)

I've finally got around to creating an admin panel for this site (version details can be found here). There are still many things that need to be added/tweaked/fixed, but it is a major improvement over what I had before.

Once I'm happy with it, I'll convert the house blog over to it.

I've been pretty unimpressed with the Wordpress admin panel. It is unintuitive and has some serious usability flaws. For example if your user level is low enough and you try and access an area of the site that you shouldn't (even though the links are still there) you get a blank page with a one line error message. It doesn't even use the admin template.

Anywho. I should post more but I've been very busy with Uni and working.

There seems to be a bug with CRM 3 where the install doesn't correctly finish (although you aren't told this) and thus you are unable to make System Setting changes in the CRM 3 admin area.

I've just been talking to a guy a Microsoft and the follow fixed our problem.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the update.  I will close out this incident and mark it resolved.  On the settings problem, I will offer one solution.  If this doesn't fix it then you will need to continue troubleshooting through the newsgroups:

a. From the default website where SRS is installed browse the reports directory (http://YourSRSserver/reports)

       b. Click Properties then click Your_Org_Name_mscrm folder

       c. click the Security tab

       d. The following groups should be added:

                  BUILTIN\Administrators with a role ofContent Manager

                  DOMAINNAME\ReportingGroup {ec70ac7b-a091-4d00-b038-75fd6ea0e84c} with a role of Browser for Microsoft CRM

                  NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE with a role of Publisher for Microsoft CRM
 

In our case we needed to add NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
