Echomap

I just downloaded the Palm Eclipse IDE, whenever I go to Run the compiled app via eclipse it gives me this message: "Unable to launch Target Environment: Target is not responding (timed out)" The thing that seems to work for me is to turn off the service "Firewall client agent".

I have a LAN in my home, DHCP is served from my router and DNS from a server running Fedora Core. After installing Ubuntu I noticed that my ubuntu machine wasn't accessible via hostname on my network. I used the helpful dig command and looked at my server's dns file records and definitely my ubuntu machine wasn't registering with my DNS server. I looked through all the docs on dhclient.conf and tried many different combinations of the send and prepend/supersede options in it to no avail. I was looking everywhere for the windows equivalent of ipconfig/registerdns.... Then I found this helpful link: Dynamic DNS Updates with TSIG for Security It explained that there was indeed command that I could use to register in DNS, Now when my computer calls the command "dhclient" which calls the programs in its exit hooks directory, one of which is my little script, which calls nsupdate, which updates my computer's records in my LAN's DNS server. Yeah! No if I can just...

I have an old laptop in my kitchen running windows98, it is being used by me and my wife. We use only a few apps on it; a web browser, picture browser, and access to mapped drives. So with all the security news about windows98 I decided to put linux on it instead. My experience was mostly with Redhat, but since my wife was going to use the machine and Ubuntu seemed to have a reputation of being really easy and being highly talked about, I said why not. The install was pretty easy, I made it complicated by not using the entire 15GB drive for the OS, and partitioned the disk myself. After that the WIKI had a lot of good information and using Automatix to automate some of the install, I was done. Well, I did have to get the laptop to talk to my ldap server (OpenLDAP running on Fedora Core 3 downstairs). Then I was done. And you know what? I haven't heard one complaint from my wife; who did complained when I upgraded from Windows2000 to WindowsXP per the machine was underpowered an...

Why are we going back to the days where web sites were programmed to a fixed size and didn't allow you to resize the browser window to whatever the user wanted? My screen is 1280x1024 but I don't like the browser to take up all my real estate. I guess I'll either have to complain or install a firefox hack...

Are they kidding me? You need to manually change source code if certain things are different in development than production? Well that statement was a bit alarmist I know; I see that they have a few techniques to prepare the application for development, but 2 out of the 4 in the "Techniques for Updating URLs in Web Service Controls" section involve changing source when doing a production build. I have to wonder if anyone does that? See: Preparing the Application for Deployment Also see: the "Configure Back-end Access" section in What to Expect When Promoting a WebLogic Platform Application to Production

I've tried a few Inventory programs out, but haven't settled on one. One I've tried is OCS Inventory; it's easy to setup, it looks nice, and it grabs a lot of interesting information. I like the information it grabs, but I want to be able to edit and change and move stuff around, I want to be able to add my extra computer equipment that is laying around, I want to put in warranty information, and be notified when they expire. Also I can't find any opensource inventory programs based on Java and being a Java developer I prefer them, because if there is a problem, there is at least a chance that I can fix it.

An Inventory program for my LAN computers I want something to inventory my LAN. Its a small LAN, just a few computers and some spare parts. Maybe include some warranty information, maybe suggestions about what I could add or not add to the existing computers. Say a computer has a free memory slot and say I have that kind of spare ram in a box somewhere, maybe the program would suggest I use the spare ram. There seem to be two types of inventory projects: One that is geared towards automation, a central server and client programs installed on client computers. The client uses scripts or a program to grab information from the client computer. The second relies on a human to enter the data. I didn't search the general inventory (ie: like quicken) or ERP products.
