Feature device

If I choose a new phone, I'd pick this:

HTC Fuze


http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1644
http://www.htc.com/us/product/htcfuze/specification.html

It has same display size - 2.8", but VGA resolution
and the CPU 528MHZ (Kaiser has only 400MHz)

The only question , does the touch screen work with a stylus
or only with finger.

Will see what will be available when I actually want to buy something new.

IIS redirection parameters

When you need a redirection from one URL to another
the IIS let you keep the resource name and parameters,
as described in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313074


The parameters are:

$S	The $S variable passes the matched suffix of the requested URL. The matched suffix is the portion of the original URL that remains after the redirected URL is substituted. The server automatically performs this suffix substitution. The $S variable is used only in combination with other variables.	If /Scripts is redirected to /NewScripts and the original request is for /Scripts/Program.exe, the suffix is /Program.exe.
$P	The $P variable passes the parameters in the original URL without the question mark that is used to specify the beginning of the query string.	If the original URL is /Scripts/MyScript.asp?number=1, the string "number=1" is mapped into the destination URL.
$Q	The $Q variable passes the full query string (the question mark and the parameters) from the original URL.	If the original URL is /Scripts/MyScript.asp?number=1, the string "?number=1" is mapped into the destination URL.
$V	The $V variable passes the requested URL, without the server name.	If the original URL is /Myserver/Scripts/MyScript.asp, the string "/Scripts/MyScript.asp" is mapped into the destination URL.
$0 through $9	The variables $0 through $9 pass the portion of the requested URL that matches the indicated wildcard.
!	Do not redirect.	Use this variable to prevent redirecting a folder or an individual file.

Don't forget to make sure the "exact redirection" check box is on!

Exchange health test

In order to run the MS Exchange Best Practices Analyzer, the network interface which address is resolved from the exchange server name has to have File Sharing enabled. Also the Remote Registry service is required to be started.

Scanner OFF

TortoiseSVN daemon scans the hard drive all the time. It can be turned off. Go settings->Icon Overlays.
Set Status cache to "Shell", it will prevent scanning recursively. Apparently, the icon's sign will be shown upon the fact of changes without scanning.
Or set to "None" to disable scanning at all (and showing the icon status signs as well).
Also you can fill the Exclude and Include path boxes to tell exactly folders to scan rather than scan the entire hard drive.

case fan cooling

Adding a case fan to an AMD Athlon 2400+ computer lowed the CPU temp from 44C to 34C.

64bit os and 32bit ISAPI

Add Enable32BitAppOnWin64 boolean property to site's metabase object.

dns

Hosting providers faced us to change the server IP address, and made also changes in the domain zone they do not posses, speaking of that as their primary duty. Of course those changes were not globally acknowledged. What did they think in the first place I still want to know.
