Banned Advert For SABC 1

What ever happened to freedom of media??

Posted by: Abner Udali | October 12, 2009

Why Is It….

  1. That some drivers forget how to drive the moment it starts to rain?
  2. That black people are so LOUD?
  3. That some women behave as though they were made and not created?
  4. That my cellphone never rings when I have it but the moment I leave it in the other room it rings?
  5. That confident women are considered arrogant by (insecure) men?
  6. That the servers at the office work like a charm when I’m in but always start to misbehave on my first day on leave?
  7. That sex with a friend, however how attractive she is, always ends up making the relationship a bit awkward?
  8. That we always seem to push away those that we really hold dear and still kick it with the irrelevant ones?
  9. That a threesome is on most mens “Things to do before I’m 40″ list (hahahahaha)?
  10. That most men roll over and sleep after a good session of sex? I just don’t understand it…personally, I get even more worked up and need more :) hehehe.
  11. That when driving in an unfamiliar area, we tend to reduce the radio volume when we feel like we’ve taken the wrong turn.

TFSReports Error – Reporting Services

There are lots of good sites out there that will take you through the motions of fixing the reporting errors generated on TFS. Could be a login error or just a query error. Login errors can be resolved quite easily and usually you need to just make sure the TFSService account password has not expired in AD. Once resolved, then you can tackle the query errors.

My quickest resolve was to rebuild the reporting services Warehouse. Depending on how much data you have, this usuallu takes a little while to run. This task drops the TFSWarehouse DB, resets it to its original installation state and then reprocesses all the data. You need to know:

  1. The name of your data tier (dt) box
  2. The service account used by the AT services
  3. The account used by SQL Server Reporting Services to access the warehouse
  4. the TFS name

Open a command prompt on the TFS machine and go to the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Tools directory. Then execute the following command:

SetupWarehouse.exe -rebuild -s <dt machine> -d TFSWarehouse -c WarehouseSchema.xml -a <service account> -ra <rs access account> -mturl <TFS name>

After the warehouse has been reset, you will have to give it some time to reprocess the data. Usually this runs at scheduled times via the Visual Studio Task Scheduler.

You also might have to download Microsoft’s KB969210 patch to fix the reports.

SharePoint 2010’s Eager Anticipation

Really can’t wait for SharePoint 2010 to be released so that I can roll it out in our test environment and eventually across the organization. More on it’s features here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/10/05/sharepoint-history.aspx

Peter De Villiers Quotes

Was updating myself on some rugby news when I stumbled upon this site http://blogs.sport24.co.za/rugbywrap/Rugby-Razzies-The-Best-of-the-Worst-2009. The Peter De Villiers quotes are the ones that killed me ROFLMAO!!

Worst Quote

Peter De Villiers

“If we want to eye-gouge any Lions we will go down to the bushveld like we do and eye- gouge them there.”

“If we are going on like this, why don’t we go to the nearest ballet shop, get some tutus and get a dancing shop going? There will be no eye-gouging, no tackling, no nothing and we will enjoy it.”

“What we try to tell them is when you point your finger into the sky, don’t concentrate on the finger because you’ll miss all the heavenly glory out there. Concentrate on the heavenly glory you can bring and make yourselves so fulfilled.”

“There’s little difference between winning and losing, except you feel better after winning.”

“What I learned in South Africa is, if you take your car to a garage and the owner is black or a black man, and they mess it up, you never go back to that garage.  If the owner is white, you say ag, sorry, they made a mistake and you go back again. This is how some people live their lives in this country.”

You take your pick, any one of those are home runs, but to pull a positive out of this I think for the first time in SA Rugby history people were actually trying to get tickets for press conferences.

“The RPC server is unavailable” Error

Kept on getting this error when trying to remote to my Win2K3 server. Resolved it by removing the server from the domain (Ensure you have the local admin password at hand). After removing it from the domain and logging in locally as admin, I ran “netsh winsock reset” in the command prompt to reset the winsock control (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259). The re-add the server to the domain and all should be resolved.
