I wrote a post in April regarding the pros and cons of several cloud storage/backup service providers based on my experience, such as Windows Live Mesh, DropBox, Memopal, SpiderOak, and SugarSync, and I concluded that SugarSync is better than the others. Then you may ask what is the purpose of this post? Well, it seems that many people are not happy with SugarSync because it does not have a native Linux client, so those people, […]
All I can say is LOL, especially the "buy one get one free" part. Funny.
I installed MS SQL Server Denali CTP3 (and its management studio) installed parallel to SQL Server 2008 R2, and everything works fine until I decided to uninstall Denali. The uninstallation of Denali was smooth and gave no error, however, after the uninstallation, MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio could not be launched. It didn’t give any error message and just didn’t launch at all. I had to reinstall MS SQL Server 2008 R2 to […]
After I uninstalled MS SQL Server “Denali” CTP3, my Task Manager cannot be launched. Every time I try to launch it, it gives me an error: Windows cannot find ‘C:\Windows\system32\taskmgr.exe’.

Before I installed SQL Server “Denali”, I used Process Explorer to replace my Task Manager, and it seems that the uninstallation of “Denali” messed up Process Explorer. But since Task […]

Here is the table structure that I need to query: UserID Type Name Department Status Classification Enrollment_Status Where “Type” and “Department” are foreign keys of the other two tables. The query criteria are: If the user type is “Student” (type ID = 1), then only retrieve enrolled students (Enrollment_Status = ‘EN’); If the user type is not “Student” (type ID <> 1), then check Classification field and only retrieve data with Classification <> ‘R’ It […]
If you already use SugarSync, then you know that after you sign up an account (either Free or Paid account), if you finish five tasks under Getting Started tab in your account, then you will get 125 MB bonus storage. If you think 125 MB bonus is not good enough, then here is the good news. Started June 6th, SugarSync lets you earn 125 MB bonus for each task you finish, so the total bonus […]
My site was hacked on June 28th, 2011 around 8:00pm. How I found out? Here is the story. When I tried to access my site after coming back from a vacation, I noticed there is a PHP error at the bottom of the page as this: PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/{username}/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/aioseop.class.php:221) in /home/{username}/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/gray-and-square/footer.php(2) : eval()’d code(216) : eval()’d code on line 1 I thought the […]
