If your modals are off, be sure to set width & height of container manaully:

$.modal({ containerCss { width:200, height:200 } });

I learned this technique from “4 Hour Workweek” by Tim Farris. I thought it was an amazing idea. I usually make backup photocopies of important documents like passport or driver’s license. Farris recommends taking digital photos of your documents and then storing them on online backup site especially when you travel. Of course, since these are sensitive documents, you will want to encrypt them before storing online or even on your own computer. This way if you travel a lot and lose your ID or some other document, you wil have quicker access to photo of it which may help you get a new one much faster.

I found it in one of my backup, I figure I will repost on new blog.

I took these steps to set up Pentaho BI on Windows Box.

1. Download Pentaho BI Pre-Configured Installation from http://www.pentaho.org/download/ga.php
2. Install JDK5.
3. Open C:\pentaho-demo\pentaho-solutions\system\publisher_config.xml. Add a password for publishing reports between password
4. Delete all folders expect reporting under C:\pentaho-demo\pentaho-solutions\samples.
5. Delete all .xaction and .properties files under reporting.
6. Copy JDBC driver for your database under C:\pentaho-demo\jboss\server\default\lib. I used Oracle 10g driver, it is called ojdbc.jar.
7. Edit .jsp file to change the look of default Pentaho website under C:\pentaho-demo\jboss\server\default\deploy\pentaho.war\jsp\.
8. Add path to your JDK directory in start-pentaho.bat located under C:\pentaho-demo. For example: set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11
9. Double click on start-pentaho.bat.
10. Go back to C:\pentaho-demo\jboss\server\default\deploy\pentaho.war\WEB-INFââ?¬Â and open web.xml. Search for base-url and add your server’s ip. For example,

base-url

http://0.0.0.0:8080/pentaho/

1. Now you should be able to publish reports to Pentaho using Report Wizard or Report Designer.
2. Once you publish report, you will need to go to C:\pentaho-demo\jboss\server\default\deploy and open newly created data source file named something like ???????-ds.xml.
3. If your database is Oracle you will need to change driver class property to <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
4. And your newly published report should be accessible via Pentaho now.
5. Good Luck!

I always used xcopy for my backing up my files. However, I always forget to backup my backup script. So after fresh install of Windows XP, I sat down to re-write my script. Then I figured that there got to be some open source simple command line backup script, somewhere. That’s when I found out this excellent vbs script for backing up in Windows.Its very easy to use and alter. Author has extensively documented it.

Go ahead try it.

So easy to ping in .net…

using System.Net.NetworkInformation;

private string pingHost(String hostip)
{
Ping pingSender = new Ping();
PingReply reply = pingSender.Send(hostip);
String str;
if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
{
str = “”. Host is up”";
str += “”, Address: “” + reply.Address.ToString();
str += “”, RoundTrip time: “” + reply.RoundtripTime + “” ms.”";
}
else
str = “”. Host is down.”";
return str;
}

I am moving posts from my old blog and saw this. Its an old game but I thought someone might still be playing this game and may want to use this trick.

Open up AppInit.Jam in any hex editor. Search for “”Nudity”". It should say something like Nudity Setting (Change to 1 for European version): 0. Just change the value to 1 and start the game. Censor bars will be gone. Have fun!

Be careful running this from /.

I usually run it from under a partition which is running out of space.
