Croatia came out of this game with a win that was not deserved. Croatia got a deserved penalty decision in the 4th minute which was put away. Beyond that, Croatia didn’t show much after that. Towards the end of the game, it looked certain that Austria would, and deserved a goal – but it never happened.
Portugal stamped their authority in Group A with a win against Turkey on the opening day. However, i was not too impressed by their play and it was evident to me that Portugal does have some defensive areas of weakness that could be exploited.
Both teams had their chances in the first half, and neither took them. Ronaldo’s free kick late in the half was parried away by a finger nail which was definately going to go in had it not taken that deflection.
Knowing Scolarri’s tactics, i was expecting a one nothing game, and it appeared to go that route when Pepe scored from close range after a quick one-two move. Excellent goal. There were a few chances where Turkey could have equalised, but it didnt happen and Meireles scored late in stoppage time to seal the victory.
Good win for Portugal, confidence boosting. But I’m still waiting for Ronaldo to show me that he is the best player on the planet.
The Czech Republic come away from this game with a lucky win by a fumbled goal by Sverkos. Throughout most of the game, the Swiss actually looked the better side and the most probable to score, with most of the chances coming from Alex Frei. However, he suffered a knock on his knee towards the end of the first half and had to be changed out with Yakin coming in. In the 2nd half, Yakin showed us that he could score a goal, but never did.
In the 71st minute, Sverkos picked up a ball over the top, beat the offside trap and took a fumbled shot that fooled the keeper and went in.
Lucky win by Czech Republic. Swiss had plenty of opportunities but couldn’t put any of them away.
Yay! Fedora 9 is out, and it finally installs fine using on a Dell T105 with a SATA DVDRom. The previous version of fedora (8) on x64 didn’t properly recognize the install dvd.
Today i got a call from a customer stating that Outlook 2007 was starting, but giving an error message “A Dialog box is open” trying to open or compose new emails. The problem was that Outlook started on a new user profile, and the usual Outlook/Word dialog that asks you for your Name/Initials was gettign hidden someplace (since word starts silently in outlook).
Solution is to close everything, and start Microsoft Word first. Enter your name and initials, and then you’ll be able to start outlook.
Update
Bill pointed out that if you don’t have the full Office installed, you won’t be able to launch Word. So to fix it, you’ll have to temporarily remove a Microsft Update item number KB946983. Use the control panel to remove this update, start Outlook, then windows will apply the update again at a later time.
Just a note, mainly for myself, on the location to get the Remote Wipe MobilAdmin utilities for Microsoft Exchange. They can be gotten here
I find it useful that the exhcange server can sever relations between a mobile device and the exchange server, especially if you’re about to fire someone and they have their own device syncing in.
Hi,
Haven’t had a chance to nice n up my mail server how to yet, and i’m sure some of you are tying to install thing thing on newer distributions. So, here are my notes about installing the techie mail server, its all rough notes, i know in my head what it is, but the description may not be there. feel free to use as is – no support, no guarantees.
Just a quick post on how to quickly remove the Dell Utility Partition. I just received some Poweredge T105 boxes (quiet nice actually ,very quiet, very efficient – only 70W power consumption idle with 2 80gb drives). I was bummed to find out that the bios didnt come with a SATA raid option, but oh well.
So to remove partition. Boot up from your XP/2003 CD/DVD, and then go into the Console Recovery mode. Login to your partition , then use “DISKPART” to open up the partition manager, and then simply remove the 55mb partition.
Done.
Hello,I’ve noticed this for a while, but finally blogging it to grab peoples attention. I use a Microsoft PPTP server at the office to connect to using PPTP. From Windows it works perfectly fine and i’m able to remain connected and go about my work. However, from OSX, it works fine for a while – then if there is no activity on the connection, it kinda drops the connection – but not completely. Pinging anything at the office sometimes gives aping: sendto: No buffer space availableafter a while of pinging, it’ll stop and everything will resume. If after i connect, i leave a ping going this doesnt happen.Wonder whats going on….
So, i was working on my new Leopard install on my Macbook Pro and needed to Remote Desktop into a server at my office to start a Scheduled Task.Being a new laptop, i went to www.rdesktop.org, downloaded the source, opened up a new terminal, typed incd Downloadstar -xzf rdesktop* cd rdesktop*./configuremakesudo make installrdesktop servername and i did my work with the scheduled task, apple-w to close and i was done. Hang on a minute. My brain stopped for a second and thought about what had just happened. Did i just run “rdesktop” from the OSX terminal, and go straight into my server? Did Leopard actually spawn X11 for me, and run rdesktop within that ?Wow. Thanks Apple.
