As you can tell from the Template, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 3.0 RC. It’s rather simple to do this automatically. Just following these instructions to automatically upgrade WordPress from 2 to 3.

I know, its nothing new, however not many people know about it. Personally I don’t have that many NTFS external drives, mostly because I knew it would cause issues with Mac and Linux/Unix. So instead I use to format most of my external drives as Fat32. However I would have to make  a couple of partitions manually because Windows 2000/XP actually limited you from creating partitions large than 32/64GB. You can get the specifics because this covers more than this article at WikiPedia:

Don’t worry about Fat32, partition your drives as NTFS and make them as large as you want. You can now using them on Mac OSX using MacFuse and NTFS-3g from Tuxera.

Macfuse –  http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
NTFS-3G from Tuxera – http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/

Install both and enjoy!

First  you will need to find out some information about Exchange, and the only way to do that is to open up the Exchange Management Shell and run the following:

Get-ExchangeServer | fl name,edition,admindisplayversion

Then you will be shown the following:

[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.BCRICWH\Desktop>Get-ExchangeServer
| fl name,edition,admindisplayversion

Name                : EXCH01A
Edition             : Standard
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (Build 240.6)

Name                : EXCH02A
Edition             : Standard
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (Build 240.6)

Name                : EXCHMBX01
Edition             : Enterprise
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (Build 240.6)

Name                : mx4
Edition             : Standard
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (Build 240.6)

Name                : mx3
Edition             : Standard
AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (Build 240.6)

It’s a simple registry fix, you can read the KB Article 951608 from Microsoft.

This will then allow you to connect to Windows 2008 Server computers as well as Windows 7 computers.

UPDATE: This won’t work for mRemote or mRemote-NG, for some reason you can only use for instance “mstsc” or Remote Desktop Client directly.

I’ve made some more changes to the WordPress Plugin Twitter Updater. It’s now v2.10 and includes support for Bit.ly

– ZZ.gd broke with 403 forbidden error, fixed with setting different user agent.

– Move menu to “Settings”.

– Added option under configuration to choose ZZ.gd or TinyURL. Added 1 function.

– Re-worked the code for url shortening services, change in one place instead of three. Created a function instead.

which makes it easier to add more services if necessary. Bit.ly support in the future?

You can download the new version, I’ve renumbered the version number and hope to have bit.ly setup as well.

I’ve removed the download and placed all relevant information on the Twitter Updater page.
