Need a Beer on Wallpaper Wednesday

Once upon a time, Wednesday meant going out for a beer with friends. It's a tradition that I really should re-visit. It was really nice to have a little bit of a celebration for hump day.

The handy picture is above, but the error is "Problem with the Blog Server", "Server Error 1 Occurred".

In my case, I was trying to post to a Drupal Blog.

Sweet Christmas Wallpaper

Here we are again, it's Wallpaper Wednesday, and I haven't posted anything since the last Wallpaper Wednesday. I guess it's better than not even posting some new wallpaper once in awhile, right?

How to remove Internet Explorer Enhanced security in SBS 2011

As a general rule, I don't do much web surfing on a server, but sometimes you have applications that use features which are blocked. Most times you can just add them to the list of safe sites, but sometimes, that just doesn't work, or maybe you're working remotely, and the server is the only console is the only thing you have access to.

Anyway, disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is pretty easy to do, if you know where it is.

HOW TO give the w32Time account permissions to the config key in registry editor

One of my users was trying to change one of the DWORD values in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config

Unfortunately they were getting the good old “Access Denied” message. When I took a look at it, I realized the only user who had permission to edit the key was a user or account named W32TIME. It seemed pretty straight forward. So I went up one key, and copied the permissions down. Then I went in and added the W32Time account. Well, I tried to at least.

Die Gremlins!

posted yesterday that I realized that the Drupal had been down for a good long time, not that there was a big outcry or anything :-)

The truth is, I don't have any earthly idea how long it's been down, but it's been awhile. Not sure how the permissions were changed on my index.php, but they changed.

Then, I noticed that when I viewed an individual post, I had a whole slew of errors on the top of the page, including

Unknown column 'u.signature_format'
