Re: [OT] Internet use on 4G LTE

2018-01-07 Thread Greg Wood

Hi Tony, All,

I used to have a script on a mac to enable/disable EVERY piece of traffic
on my computers firewall that wasn't just chrome - I can find it if anyone
wants a copy.

So at a place like Thailand you could run it before you connected and only
chrome(or other browser) was allowed in/out.

I just had a look about for a windows PowerShell one but couldn't find an
equivalent. This might help in the future if you had a list of allowed
programs/ports to stop all the background chatter.

There are probably apps out there but i think I would rather know exactly
what is running to stop/allow items

Hi Greg,
This rings bells for me about the order it applies the rules and
subsequently stops processing the remainder of the rules.

There is another way you could do this. It is to put a explicit rule for
your xml file before anything else and then do a FilesMatch .xml then do a
ForceType to rss+xml

Have a search on those two terms and you might find some examples

Re: [OT] New surface laptop

2017-07-03 Thread Greg Wood

I have always had issues with DPI, external monitors and my Surface Pro 3.

The way I resolve,  is to only ever bootup/login to windows 10 with your
external monitors plugged in.
Then you can plug, unplug all you wish, as long as that first login is with
the screens in

But if you first login to the surface with no screens connected, then go
and connect, it is crazy DPI problems. I have to then log off or reboot to
make it look better.


I have 3 Dell U2414H screens daisy chained into the mini display port - no
dock needed.

Re: Have Surface Pro 4 multi monitor Display issues been resolved?

2016-01-24 Thread Greg Wood

Hi All,

I guess a few days have passed and you might have all of this solved! One
thing is try better cables.


Not sure if this is going to help anyone but I have an SP3 running 3
Dell U2414H (rev3) monitors running straight off the tablet, no docking
station. But i lose the Sp3 display when they are connected.

It was a pretty simple setup, with the Dell's having daisy chain of display
ports in and out. I just have one plug to plug into the side and a usb hub
for other devices.

One setup issue I had was a flickering screens, or not working at all at
the start, i chucked ALL of the Dell cables out and got decent ones from
cable chick. Many forum posts kept saying cables are bad, so i just
replaced them all.

The daily issue I have for the dells is I need to turn the power off for 10
seconds each morning ( i ended up putting on there own power board and
switch) before they would be detected. But that is now just part of my
routine to plug it all in.

Not sure if this is relevant at all for sp4, but just how i operate my sp3
setup and no dock required.

Greg

Perhaps the 3-year deal with Telstra hinged on Telstra’s large commitment
to ‘cloud’ in Australia, a platform which did require some selling – as did
software as a service. I know the SBIT Pro group members were annoyed at
the Telstra-only model, and I don’t think the addition of Optus would
ameliorate that irritation.

It was interesting to note the 1Tb cloud storage trumped by Google

I don’t want to see it forced through any reseller. I just want to have
the option to deal directly with Microsoft. Other people in the loop just
complicate support for me. I can do that with Google and with any number of
other global providers, so why not Microsoft?

If I was running a milk bar or a cafe, I might feel differently.

Both options should be available (ie: dealing with a partner if you need
that type of help, or not dealing with one if you don’t need that type of
help). And partners that push the products should be part of the ongoing
return on the products. I used to like the model that some companies used
when ADSL first appeared. Customers could deal directly with them if they
wanted. Partners could be involved in getting people signed up, and if they
did, they were part of the revenue stream from that point on (indefinitely
in relation to those connections).

Bottom line is that I shouldn’t be penalised for being based in Australia.

Re: Sending emails from extra domains in Office 365

Hi Greg,

Have you switched from Google hosted to Office 365 now?

Thoughts? comments? worth the hassle just yet?

 Spoke too soon. That still didn't work correctly.

 Loryan’s suggestion of a DL still seems to be the correct one. What I had
 to do was:

 1.  Remove the extra email address from the user
 2.  Create a distribution list that holds just that user
 3.  Configure the DL to have the target email address
 4.  Using Powershell, assign “SendAs” permission on the DL to that
 user:

 Start Powershell

 Enter your primary office 365 credentials using this command

 PS $MyCreds = Get-Credential

 Start a new session to the server

 PS $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
 -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $MyCreds
 -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
 PS Import-PSSession $Session

 Check the real name of the target distribution list

 PS Get-Group *

 Assign SendAs permission to the user

 PS Add-RecipientPermission distributionlistname -AccessRights SendAs
 -Trustee primaryuser

 When prompted, confirm that you want to assign it

 5.  When sending, choose the “From” option, from that pick the groups
 option, select the new group, and make sure the “Sending As” is still
 pointing to the primary user

 Hope that helps someone else.

 Regards,

 Greg

  Hi Greg,
  One more option if you are using Outlook. It involves setting up a
 phantom POP account. More information on using distribution lists as well.

  Wow, that's interesting thanks Ian. So it looks like the only way of
 doing it is to set up a distribution group for each email address rather
 just adding the email address to each user. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

  Office 365 had the option to add another domain so you can receive

  Ie: if you are a...@lincoln.com in Office 365, you can add
  abelincoln.com as an extra domain, then add a...@abelincoln.com as an

Hi Greg K,

I see you can only use sa. If you make a new sql login user on the SQL
Server and give it sysadmin does it see the databases just like sa?

 Hi Greg L and others,



 I’ve spent many hours over the last couple of days trying to get SQL Server
 2008 R2 Windows Authentication working over the LAN, with absolutely no
 success. I’m not experienced in this area, but I’ve tried every sensible
 trick I can think and nothing makes any difference. The worst thing is that
 I don’t know who to blame: the domain, SQL Server, user/group settings,
 what?



 I have now found that just one of the thirteen databases CAN be accessed and
 twelve can’t. I tried carefully comparing the attributes of a working and
 non-working DB, but the one that works comes from outside my office and is a
 mess, making it a useless apples and oranges comparison.



 Grant: I don’t see any strange schemas that are candidates for deletion.



 My only workaround for now is to use ‘sa’ in all connection strings.

 No, quite different. Isolated Storage is just a piece of the file system.
 ESENT is a complete ISAM database. The C API is quite low-level and fiddly.
 The ManagedEsent project puts a managed wrapper around the API.

Re: Propagate Database changes to application

2011-03-28 Thread Greg Wood

I presume SQL Server 2008, so a data driven subscription is probably
your choice.

You will see that MS dropped Notification Services, as no one used it.

Good luck!

 Grant,
 Another way to do it would be to push changes to your application based on
 an update event occurring in your system. Whenever data changes, publish a
 my data has just been updated event and notify your clients of the update.
 This would negate the need to do unnecessary polling and remove the
 dependency on any caching mechanisms (which is not to say you can't use
 caching to store your data).

 Hi list,
 I'm looking to have an application automagically update it's view of the
 data when the data in the connected database table changes.
 I've seen two main ways to do this so far.
 1. Poll the database every n seconds
 2. Use the System.Web.Caching.SqlDependancy object.
 Does anyone else know of any other better or smarter way of doing this ?

 Does anyone know of such a beast available within Australia that will do

 DO you have cost constraints?   I'm thinking too, if there are dancing
 girls, can you really claim it's unattended?  (if it is, the problems are
 going to be vandalism and people hacking it)  (Look at the construction of
 modern outdoor public phones, they're built like tanks)
