Bi-Annual Laptop Wipe

Drewcorp Coding — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:47:25 GMT

I say bi-annual but for the first year I never did it, simply because I'd done such a good job of keeping it tidy. But many of my personal projects lately have muddied the waters with one-off installs for small tasks that my already installed programs could not tackle. To facilitate simplicity in wiping my system [...]

Query of query issue with where clause/joins

Raymond Camden's ColdFusion Blog — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:46:10 GMT

A user reported this to me earlier in the week. I was sure he was wrong until I confirmed it myself. Imagine you have 2 queries you want to join using a query of query. Here is a quick sample. [More]

Quotables: Who cares, big ideas, and copyists vs. copyright holders

My Secret Life as a Spaghetti Coder — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:00:38 GMT

This is the "my lawn needs more water and my wife disagrees" edition of Programming Quotables . If you don't know - I don't like to have too many microposts on this blog ( I'm on twitter for that ), so I save them up as I run across them, and every once in a while I'll post a few of them. The idea is to post quotes about programming that have one or more of the following attributes: I find funny I find asinine I find insightfully true And stand on their own, with ...

Windows Live Writer overwrites images

Russ "Snake" Michaels — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:30:37 GMT

I have just noticed a very annoying bug in Live Writer, thus why you have have received multiple copies of my last posts. After I had posted those last 2 articles, I noticed they both had the same images, even though they clearly didn't when I posted them. It seems that if you paste in an image from the clipboard Live Writer will name it image.png by default and the thumbnail will be image_thumb.png, it will not create a unique filename, thus will simply overwrite any existing images with the same name, thus messing up all your previous blog posts with images not to mention if you have multiple images in your current post, they will all end up as the same image.

I presume this bug must have been added to the latest release (2009) as I have not noticed it previously.

I have however found the following temporary fix on the Windows Live Writer Blog

Open HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs\{blog-id}\UserOptionOverrides\, where {blog-id} is a GUID. You will have several of these, but should be able to tell the right one by looking at the contents of the key.

Add a new String value with name â??fileUploadNameFormatâ?? (case matters!!) and the value e
{WindowsLiveWriter}/{PostTitle}/{Randomizer}/{AsciiFileName}

hopefully they will fix this annoying bug very soon.

wmiprvse.exe process memory leak consumes CPU

Russ "Snake" Michaels — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 06:30:35 GMT

On my windows 2008 server (64bit) I started having a problem whereby the wmiprvse.exe process was consuming up to 40% of my CPU (22% average) and causing major slowdown of my system.

I managed to narrow this down to the "Windows System Resource Manager" and if I stopped this service, then the problem would go away. None of the solutions I found on Google applied to my scenario or my OS, which is one of the issues I guess I will face for running windows 2008 server as a workstation.

Anyway after much searching, I discovered the following hot fix solved my problem, despite the fact that the symptoms or cause do not apply to my scenario at all as I am not doing any monitoring from an external machine. After installing this hot fix, my average CPU usage for wmiprvse.exe is now around 10% and only seems to hit about 20% max, so it is an improvement. Of course if you do not need the Windows System Resource Manager then you could just disable this permanently.

Note that the hot fix says it is for Vista, but it does also apply to windows 2008 server.

Business depends on Open Source

Sean Corfield — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:30:37 GMT

I just received my monthly newsletter from SourceForge.net and they list the Top 25 Projects for the month. I thought it was very interesting to see that half of the top ten open source projects this month are for business management (ERP, CRM and HR...
