So after a short time of working with Google docs to create and update blog posts, I've became increasingly frustrated with it.   At this current time I'm not going to suggest using Google Docs in a normal blogging capacity with Drupal.   What I have found is that working with Google Docs really helps you organize and write more effective blog posts.

So, it's one of the first days off that I have this year that I'm just sitting back and relaxing. I haven't really done a whole heck of a lot this weekend other than watch movies and did a little shopping and working of the Ontrac Solutions website and store which is going to be coming very soon. I've also been working on a huge feature post that will be somewhat outside the scope of my normal postings but it should come as a very informative article that I feel that you guys will enjoy.

This is a repost of a blog post from the Zenoss blog -- http://community.zenoss.org/blogs/zenossblog/2010/05/25/zenoss-tip-of-th...

This month's tip comes from Zenoss Community member Stacy Uden that shows how to take advantage of the flexibility of Event Commands within Zenoss. Event Commands allow the system to run arbitrary shell commands when events occur that match pre-configured criteria. This allows almost any action to be taken in response to events that occur. Common uses of event commands include:

I was a huge fan of the first Iron Man movie, and after reading some preliminary reviews of the sequel I was pretty iffy on going to this movie in the theater.   Last night I was like,  I can't just not go to this movie just because everyone says it sucks.   Needless to say I'm glad I went to the movie.   I felt that it was well put together and for a non-comic book person I felt like I got a pretty decent look at the whole "Iron Man" story

Blackberry Desktop Manager error 4238 while running a intellisync operation

The issue is generally caused by a communication issue with the Blackberry desktop manager software and Microsoft Outlook.

The first troubleshooting step that should be taken is the following:

1. Close Microsoft Outlook
2. Close Desktop Manager and Desktop Redirector
3. Open Outlook
4. Open Desktop Redirector
5. Open Desktop Manager
6. Attempt the Intellisync operation again

If the sync fails do the following:

I stumbled on this site that you can verify if any file contains a virus or a trojan that could potentially be harmful to your computer.   It's a free service and contains antivirus engine support from basically every software vendor that you can think of and many that you've never heard of.   Really how useful is this site?  Not very, to me, but to some I think it could be useful.  It would be awesome if there was a web service API that you could tie into and could leverage it in a SPAM / AV appliance for a mail server which in my opinion this would be the only useful place for this type

I'm always on a lookout for a better way to manage my blog post and manage the content easier.  I've been seeing off and on now on a couple sites talking about using Google Docs to write your blog posts.   Which I'm like, the word processor works pretty well so I'm going to be giving it a shot here for the next few weeks to see how I like using it over what I'm currently using and not completely happy with in Qumana.   The thing I like about Qumana is that it will sync all your posts with the editor and you can edit the posts quite easily if you want.   The one thing I hate about Qumana is the

So I've been trying to install Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 the past couple days inside a virtual machine with Virtualbox on my laptop so I can play around with it and what not.   I've just been struggling getting it to boot correctly.  I will be honest I haven't really sat down and just worked on it to troubleshoot the boot issue as it looks like some minor grub configuration issue that should be easily remedied.    I'm just super excited to get it installed and play around with it and possibly through it on my filesever that I'm rebuilding finally.

I was fixing a client's Active Directory DNS Server last evening, because I was unable to run dcpromo on one of the member servers in the domain successfully.   So I starting trying to pinpoint where the issue was.   First issue that I found is that the _msdsc dns entries were not being dynamically creates.   Here's a quick check list of getting your Active Directory DNS issue under control.
