I was testing a new product called Mailarchiva, and I misunderstood the instructions. The upshot was that a mailbox full of messages was moved into Mailarchiva, and I wanted to restore them to the mailbox.
I had to download Windows Mobile 6 for Blackjack (1), and kept getting an error message.
Some proxies allowed me to get to it, but, wanted $$$ to download the file.
It turns out that Samsung's site is using the REFERER field to restrict access to the file. There's a feature in Firefox 3, and also in Chrome, that helps get around this problem.
This is a diagram of upgrade paths between the various Microsoft operating systems that you can purchase through TechSoup. TechSoup is an organization that sells nonprofit organizations software at low prices. Generally, people in an organization want XP Professional, because it connects to Windows Server. If you buy a cheap computer today, it comes with Vista Home Basic... and there's no cheap downgrade path to XP Pro. (Meaning organizations have to buy a system with Vista Business preinstalled.)
What's kind of funny is that there's an upgrade path from Windows 98 to Vista.

This is trial code that I used to translate an error from a Yahoo web service into a COM ErrObject.
It's not real XML parsing, but good enough for this purpose. IF an error message is sent, we extract the message and then use Err.Raise to throw an error.
I was having a real WTF moment with Access. I'd coded up an SQL query in access, and a string had a single quote in it, fouling up the query.
The SQL was something like this:
I got this in BackupExec 10d. It probably started because I enabled circular logging.
Firefox stops working. No error messages. No crashes. It just stops. Also, reinstalling doesn't fix it.
Here's how I got out of that situation:
* Uninstall Firefox.
This is some code and controls that help you geocode addresses, and prepare a report of addresses sorted by distance from a point.
This is a subroutine that will scan your Outlook inbox or a subfolder of inbox named "Bounces", and copy bounced email addresses to a MS Access database.
It's hard to find the drivers for the Goal 3+ because it's not listed on the ECS website as the "Goal 3+".
This appears to be a new variation on existing malware. Trend Micro, Ad-Aware, Spybot all found something (maybe old malware) and deleted. Running from UBCD4Win seemed to help immensely.
For most of my life, I've backed up by copying data onto disks. The last few years, I've been using Backup Exec, because that's what the businesses are using.
I was using Backup Exec to maintain several backups of Microsoft Windows Server 2003. The backups were kept on a different server (a small NAS box).
