An annual administrative task that can be a headache is renewing your SSL cert for Zimbra’s web interfaces and service ports. In my previous post “Zimbra SSL Certicication Renewal with Godaddy” I listed out the steps. Having referred to that page I thought I would update the steps and share places that threw me for a loop. Certification…
Yesterday my iphone 5s randomly decided to not power on. I tried many things including holding the power button, plugging it in, etc. You know, the usual stuff. I thought I had tried everything but one of the phone gurus in my department told me the trick to recovering: hold the home and power button together for 15-30…
If you use WordPress and post a lot of photo’s, I would highly recommend the RPS Image Gallery plug-in. It really makes posting pictures and video’s a breeze and uses a lot of the base functionality of the ‘Add Media’ and ‘Gallery’ functionality. If you do use this plug-in, I would HIGHLY recommend only upgrading your…
Your server will punish you if you do not stay on top of your administrative tasks in a timely manner. I did not stay on top of my unused kernels and my /boot filled up. When I went to do my usual apt-get purge of the kernel package I got the following crazy error message: root@Host:/boot# sudo…
Some months ago I had a project where I needed to show what date and time an order was processed in Eastern regardless of who submitted the order and their related timezone. Google will quickly show the light for how to display date/time using the timezone set on the user profile or GMT. So the…

So how do…
In Salesforce.com, When doing analysis work on Case trends one might be interested in understanding how the day of the week impacts the number of cases created and closed. As in “How many Cases are Opened on Monday’s as Opposed to other days of the week?”. You will find that this is not standard reporting…
I still support VMware Server for a couple special reasons. When doing new builds getting the console to work can be a pain. The latest version of IE doesn’t show the management console so accessing the configuration or the console from the web browser is a no go. And Chrome does not have a console…
Using the plus key on the iPhone to take pictures and video’s is handy but what I didn’t know was that it matters which way the keys face. For pictures, flipping is easy. But for video’s you need a tool. Windows Movie Maker is a cheap solution but for those die hard HandBrake users flipping…
Have an iphone 5s and/or on iOS 7 and your Photostream (“My Photo Stream”) has stoped synchronizing with your machine? Try rebooting your iphone. Sounds crazy but I have the latest patches on my iphone 5s but recently found that my Windows 7 had stopped sync’ing. Immediately I think that the service has bombed out…
