Tony's Other Blog: December 2013
http://thowden.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Sunday, December 22, 2013. This blog "Tony's Other Blog" started as my tech blog, but then I moved that to a specific tech blog, and I always intended to diarise the things that interest me but do not fit into my normal daily routine. So as I sit and reflect on the past year I realise that yet again I failed to be consistent in spending a reasonable amount of time on things other than work. What did happen this year? What will 2014 hold?

Tony's Other Blog: Urbanspoon fails basic review
http://thowden.blogspot.com/2013/03/urbanspoon-fails-basic-review.html
A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Saturday, March 9, 2013. Urbanspoon fails basic review. So you go to urbanspoon. As a recognised site for peer reviews of restaurants and you would expect to be able to rely on their system. My first experience is that their backend platform is so unreliable that my newly registered account is cross-linked to another users profile. Does this mean I can change things as them? And for 'saltyg' if you are looking at this, Hi!

A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Sharepoint Search 2007 is blocked on Server 2008.

A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Saturday, March 9, 2013. So I continued with Urbanspoon, just trying to get my 'home' town changed from Hobart to Melbourne. It appears that if you review a restaurant while on a trip, then the restaurant 'home' is considered to be the reviewers 'home' until such time as the reviewer, a) reviews a restaurant in their actual home location, and b) changes their profile to their correct location. Grrr I hate badly written software.

Tony's Other Blog: SQL service account
http://thowden.blogspot.com/2009/05/sql-service-account.html
A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Thursday, May 28, 2009. The service account for SQL is generally domain sqlservice or similar. You should not be using domain Administrator as that is bad practice. In order for this, (notionally) non-standard admin account to function, it should be also made a member of the local computer Administrators Group. Event Log Errors in pairs like:.

A blog of stuff unrelated to the things that I commonly deal with. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Installing SugarCRM on our Debian server for some testing of interaction between Sugar on Linux and its data on MS-SQL on Windows. So freeTDS is a supporting tool to make the database connections from Linux based PHP to Sybase and MS-SQL database servers. Problem was that trying to locate the correct freeTDS. Stuff to install was a bit obscure. FreeTDS is not listed as such for apt-get on Debian. Update: I have si...
