PC|SCHEMATIC Automation og gjenopprettingsfiler
Av og til kan man lure på om programmerere noen gang gjør fullstendig testing av programmene sine. PC|SCHEMATIC Automation trenger en real gjennomgang. Blir ikke PC|SCHEMATIC Automation avsluttet skikkelig, så blir *.$pr-filer liggende i katalogen til programmet. Dette blir oppdaget neste gang PC|SCHEMATIC Automation starter opp, og da starter en evigvarende runddans mellom å velge […]

A colleague had been given an iPhone 4 previously owned and used by another colleague. After too many attempts at entering the wrong PIN code, the iPhone decided to deactivate itself. I was tasked with bringing this iPhone back to life.

«Læreren er gradvis endret fra [en] fagperson med tyngde i sitt fag, til en rapportskrivende figur i klasserommet styrt av politiske krefter.» Fra Teknisk ukeblad, «Regjeringen fjerner muligheten for å gå rett fra yrkesfag til ingeniørutdanning».

Strangely enough, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) fails to register javaws.exe as the handler for .jnlp files when installed in Windows 8/8.1. Just remember to choose javaws.exe, not java.exe nor javaw.exe.

I tried to install some construction estimation software requiring MS SQL Server 2008 on a computer running Windows 8 only to encounter an unusual anomaly. MS SQL Server 2008 refused to install due to corrupted performance counters. The error message was kind enough to mention http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956, but you should really go and visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2554336.
