java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException:
  Table 'openfiredb.ofID' doesn't exist

What I did was to check in the jiveVersion table which DB version was set for “openfire”. Then I mysql’ed the SQL files in /opt/openfire/resources/database/upgrade manually to the latest version.

Then everything worked fine. Why it didn’t run the SQL scripts automatically? I don’t know. But it once again proves that the quality of Openfire is.. not so high.

“We did create unwritable registry keys and file names, by exploiting an “impedance mismatch” between the Win32 API and the NT API. Windows, ever since XP, is fundamentally built on top of the NT kernel. NT is fundamentally a Unicode system, so all the strings internally are 16-bit counter Unicode. The Win32 API is fundamentally Ascii. There are strings that you can express in 16-bit counted Unicode that you can’t express in ASCII. Most notably, you can have things with a Null in the middle of it. That meant that we could, for instance, write a Registry key that had a Null in the middle of it. Since the user interface is based on the Win32 API, people would be able to see the key, but they wouldn’t be able to interact with it because when they asked for the key by name, they would be asking for the Null-terminated one. Because of that, we were able to make registry keys that were invisible or immutable to anyone using the Win32 API. Interestingly enough, this was not only all civilians and pretty much all of our competitors, but even most of the antivirus people.”

tar xfvz ../latest.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Damit wird das “wordpress/” am Anfang jedes Dateipfads entfernt.

Aus der man-Page:

       --strip-components NUMBER, --strip-path NUMBER
strip NUMBER of leading components from file names before extraction

Somit ist jetzt hier auch das neueste Sicherheitsupdate auf 2.6.5 installiert

1. Install the CollabNet SVN package from http://www.collab.net/downloads/community/
2. Install Eclipse Ganymede
3. In Eclipse, in Help -> Software Updates -> Add Site http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x
4. Check the latest Version of Subclipse and JavaHL and have it installed
5. Restart Eclipse.. and you don’t get “unable to load default SVN client” anymore

The svn binaries are now in /opt/subversion, so maybe you also have to adapt your PATH variable in $HOME/.profile

defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE

Gefunden hab ich diesen Befehl fuer OS X auf tuaw.com. Fuer das Windows iTunes gibt es wohl auch was.

Update 16.6.2008: Readwriteweb.com hat dazu eine pessimistischere Ansicht.

1. Bessere Darstellung mancher PDFs, besonders von meiner Uni. Die haben mit Vorschau eine schreckliche Schrift.
2. Besseres Kopieren aus mehrspaltigen Seiten. Die Vorschau will volle Breite kopieren, der Adobe Reader gottseidank nur das aus der Spalte, in der meine Maus ist.

With my current Wordpress setup and theme this lead to some problems, because every URL exists when using permalinks (at least for me). But fear not, you can modify the Apache config lines for the permanlinks to:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !noexist_YADAYADAYADA.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

This basically means that rewriting will only be done if the file is not named noexist_YADAYADAYADA.html. And since this file really does not exist, your web server will return a HTTP 404. To see what you need to enter for YADAYADAYADA.html check your access log when Google is trying to verify your site.

Hope that helps

Das ganze nennt sich IETab und funktioniert eigentlich ganz gut, nur bei manchen Seiten kommt es damit leider zu Abstuerzen

BTW, ein paar Developer von Trillian (Kommerzklient) und Gaim/Pidgin (Frickelware ) sind befreundet und helfen sich sogar gegenseitig. OMG
