Following this interview, Lloyd Schwartz profiled German Countertenor Andreas Scholl. Simply beautiful…

Participated in the ERP Architecture Assessment today, discussing client and developer system requirements and configuration, some security and network topics, and a brief foray into directory services.

I checked in with the graduate college; dbouchar has been applying SP4 /SP2 to the workstations.

To do:

• Copy julia’s gemini H: to files
• provision ERP consultant accounts
• respond to dpratt re demo of new services

Yesterday (Monday, Sep 27)
I completed the data migration of the FAB shared area from Gemini to Files. It took 1 hr, 30 min to transfer 2.5 GB of data using robocopy. That’s crappy.

I created three installation CDs for Windows XP Pro with SP2 slipstreamed. I used them successfully to rebuild a system in accounting.

I spent most of the day working in a somewhat disorganized way to rebuild three buggy systems in accounting. Two are IBM systems. After the OS/driver reinstallation, I joined the systems to the domain and set them up to use their domain accounts rather than local accounts. This will make the eventual departmental migration from Novell to AD easier.

There was an accidental loss of data when a user’s addressbook and bookmarks weren’t backed up prior to rebuild.

All-in-all, it took about 4.5 hours to build these three system.

Today:
Started the day with some clean-up from the migration last night.

Castor abended; Greg found a KB article and made a config file adjustment.

Generated some stats regarding current Gemini usage: 785 account have a Last Login date of July 1, 2004, or after.

Met with Dean and Greg to discuss migration project management and planning.

I sent email to folks in a few departments to discuss mgration plans:

• Tentatively planning to migrate Grad College on Thursday.
• Email to aquinn and ccowie to discuss CESS migration
• phonemail to swales and message for dbrauer regarding LGBTQA services and Diversity and Equity
• Email to dcomey and jhoppenj regarding Student Life

Priority: need to work on these provisioning scripts.

Among other things, I completed the migration of the Faculty Senate’s workstations into AD, which included the one profile migration.

Also, I experimented with Perl-LDAP’s capabilities in creating our LDIF exports. I found a nice example at the NetLDAPFAQ.

I got the functionality, but with some mysterious errors. I found a reference at http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200406/msg00276.html.

I may try without using SSL, but I’m not sure that there’s much to be gained by using Perl as the dump engine. Definitely want to control the process with perl, though.

• Consult with Greg regarding MS SQL Server backup strategies.
• Service call to Eileen Hanerfeld; email folders missing (mail root folder config change), details of transition to CAMPUS domain

I haven’t played since college, but I still have a bunch of the books somewhere. NPR has an article.

OK, here is what worked for me. Turn on the plugin. Put < <?php getPostTimes(); ?> at the very top of the index page and put <img src="/wordpress/wp-images/blogtimes.png" alt="Blogtimes image" /> where I wanted it to show (at the bottom of the page just above posts_nav_link). That was it.

from blogtimes

I followed the 5-minute installation instructions, and everything went fine until I hit the error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare veriflog() (previously declared in ./auth.php:7) in ..//wp-admin/auth.php on line 6

when I tried to access the profile page (profile.php). I found an item on the WordPrss support area that suggested commenting out the line in the profile.php file containing require_once…auth.php.

Once I did that, everything seems to funtion correctly.
