Every night, we truncate our staging tables. Then we import a list of users from target systems to those staging tables, then process them to figure out who has accounts on what systems. That’s not what I am talking about here.
What if we took that staging table every night and appended it to another table, and added a date/time stamp column??
That way, we would have a list of what users had accounts on what systems over the entire year. The auditors are excited about this, and I will be implementing it soon.
I looked in my iTunes the other day and found an album that was missing, but it was on the iPod. I tracked down this information, and then realized how dumb I was being since I had a backup. So, I simply copied the files from my backup without doing these things listed below… BUT, thought I should make a note of them just in case I later DO need to….

I am going to (hopefully) upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Since this comes with Virtual PC basically built-in, I am not so excited about running multiple virtualization solutions on the same PC. So, I want to convert my VMWare virtual machines to Virtual PC and found the above link. I hope that I can play these using VMWare player under linux…. And I DO have Virtual Box under Linux, so I should convert those as well.
Google keeps track of lots of things, including this http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=apple.com
Simply replace goodyear.com with any site you want information on.
For instance, you might try http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=tripod.com

If you have an *.edu email account
http://www.win741.com

Basically, we have to put in an email address that ends in .edu, then
hit submit, and wait for instructions to be sent to that address

In iTunes, under the Podcasts tab on your iPod, try UNchecking “Automatically include _ episodes of _,” and check your playlists under “Include Episodes from Playlists:”. That seems to do it for me.
Worked for me as well.

Just an additional note that I thought didn’t warrant a new post… They also have some new feature and I don’t remember exactly what it was called, but you can organize your files differently now. To maybe make this clear, I now have sub-folders of Music, Podcasts, Movies, Compilations, TV Shows and Games… It does help (things were getting harder to find at the top level) but at first I freaked out wondering where my files went.
Did all the updates to Ubuntu the other day, and now I have no sound.

Update…. WORKING AGAIN:
So, guess what?? Some upgrade dropped my volume control to zero..
Something odd, but the graphical tools didn’t work, but the command line did:
alsamixer -c0
I thought about upgrading my ALSA
