Google Sync 0x8004010b

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Freddy

For anyone out there trying to trouble-shoot the following error code generated from Microsoft Outlook using Google Sync:

Task ‘Google Apps – ::user email address:: – Sending’ reported error (0x8004010B) : ‘Unknown Error 0x8004010B’

It’s in some way related to bandwidth or connectivity. See the Super User post below ->

Sql Server – Why?

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Freddy

Msg 467, Level 16, State 1, Line 4GROUP BY, HAVING, or aggregate functions are not allowed in the recursive part of a recursive common table expression ‘<CTENAME>’.

WHy!? Why can I not use sum() in a recursive table expression? Yes it would suck if you told it to run something ridiculous but this is easy. It’s not going to crash anything regardless of how complicated the sum() is. Oye.

Raiser’s Edge – Warnings

What’s up with giving me this warning…after you’ve already run the query…5 minutes later? It’s like putting on your turn signal after you’ve completed the turn.

Raiser’s Edge

Blah blah, complain, blah blah. So far, that’s mostly what I’ve done with Raiser’s Edge.

It’s not actually that horrible. It’s just outdated and OLD.

Words of wisdom, if you can’t find it, it’s in TABLEENTRIES.

Also, the built-in Raiser’s Edge query tool, lies, a lot.

I’ll try to add more helpful updates as I try to replicate Query tool queries in the database with SQL.

Whoa – RFC 1323

So, you have slower internet than you suspect you should, and you own a Sonic Wall firewall, well, there just may be a solution! Or, rather, a temporary fix with lots of awesome reference data so you can understand what is going on.

P.S. SonicWall, if you read this, can you go ahead and fix it through a firmware upgrade so I don’t have to call your support line and be on the phone forever. K.Thx.Bai.

Now that’s nifty…

Doing a bit of research to become more familiar with my Mac…

From http://osxdaily.com/2006/11/22/ten-os-x-command-line-utilities-you-might-not-know-about/

lipo

lipo (aptly named) is a utility that manipulates universal binaries in Mac OS X. A lot of (almost all) programs these days ship, or download as “Universal”, meaning they have binary code that both the powerpc and the intel chips can understand. But since you probably don’t care about one of the two, you want to use lipo to “thin” down your binaries. For example if you wanted to thin the “Stickies” application to only contain intel (i386) code:
cd /Applications lipo Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies -thin i386 -output Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies.i386 cd Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/ rm Stickies mv Stickies.i386 Stickies

8. screencapture
screencapture offers a more advanced way (over command-shift-3) to take screen captures (if you’re from the PC world, think print screen for Mac). To use it, open up your Terminal.app and try typingscreencapture -iW ~/Desktop/screen.jpg. It will bring up a camera icon that is waiting to be clicked on a window. Once clicked, a file on your desktop called “screen.jpg” will be created that will contain a snapshot of whatever window you clicked on. You can of course, also take a snapshot of your entire screen by typingscreencapture -S ~/Desktop/screen.jpg. If you really feel like being particular you can snag just a portion of your screen by typingscreencapture -ic
