Recently, SVN has been installed on a local Debian box at work. This could have been done a bit earlier in my opinion, but well it’s better be a little late than never. The SVN server is accessed via a LAN ip: 192.168.0.126. Because we didn’t setup static IP on the router, the IP of the server keeps changing from time to time. Here’s how one can change or relocate to the new URL....
You need to have root access to do that. So the first step to become root with the following command: ken@debian:~$ su<br /> Password:<br /> debian:/home/ken# visudo<br /> Now you can add a username to the list. For example: <br /> ken ALL=(ALL) ALL<br /> Save the file to complete the process. Credit: Ubuntu Forum
This is a short note I used at work to back up and restore the a MS SQL 2000 database. I have a database with the name abcengine running on a local SQL Server.

One of them is to use the Enterprise Manager to virsually back up, and another way is to use the Query Analyzer, writing the T-SQL code and run it....

The last time I intensively used IIS (Internet Information Services) was back in the year 2000 when I hosted a ASP site on the local Windows 2000 server. Since then, Apache has become my only friend in the web server world. Fast forward to present day with the current job where Microsoft technology is heavily based on, it’s time for me to get back on track with “almost-everything” Microsoft. Today, I tried to set up an Asp....
A while back, I let my brother using my laptop while he was waiting for his to arried from online order. My laptop has dual boot: Windows Vista Home Premium and Debian. Of course, my bro would only use Vista. He created a folder with his name on the desktop for whatever purpose it was. Let’s called it: Evil. When the laptop was returned to me, I wanted to get rid that Evil....

I was attempting to install MS SQL Server 2005 Express edition without success on a computer run Windows Vista Business. There was an error message mentioned “…failed to compile the Managed Object Format (MOF)…” I’ve tried about five times with various solutions; still it didn’t fix the problem.
