Ingram quick-quote helps automate service-contract renewals and repeatable revenue

An extension may make Ingram's services-contract-renewal site more effective by giving VARs quick price quotes, rather than causing days of delay.

Ingram Micro Inc. is expanding its effort to help partners increase their revenue and customer satisfaction at the same time by automating the awkward process of tracking and renewing service contracts.

The distributor has just gone live with a new price-quoting module from MaintenanceNet Inc., which provides the data-management and business intelligence underneath Ingram's Reseller Services Portal

The Integrated Quoting Module (IQM) is a process-integration tool designed to help value-added resellers (VARs) sell and renew service contracts. It keeps track of the service contracts for a customer's equipment, and pulls up reminders that can help VARs sell renewals, or suggest replacements for older equipment, according to Justin Crotty, vice president of services for Ingram Micro.

IQM -- which MaintenanceNet will demonstrate at Ingram's VentureTech Network (VTN) services conference in Nashville this week -- is designed to simplify the process further by linking to Cisco's SmartNet connects directly to Cisco's contract-management application to provide a quote in real time as a salesperson works with a customer.

"There's a lot of money left on the table from poorly tracked service contracts," Crotty said. "Vendors aren't doing a good job of tracking that through the lifecycle of a product."

Those contracts are simple products, whose benefit is obvious to customers, that can become an easily renewable source of revenue, according to Scott Herron, CEO of MaintenanceNet.

"It's certainly an improvement on the traditional systems the VARs have had to contend with in the past, many of which they had to build themselves," according to Jeff Kaplan, analyst at THINKstrategies Inc. in Wellesley, Mass. "It's a good solution to meet the needs of companies such as Ingram. The pass-through sales can only help the VARs manage their inventories more effectively."

MaintenanceNet aggregates and scrubs data from vendors and resellers, collecting contract information, product serial numbers and other relevant data, and making it available to VARs who can then go to a customer and suggest renewals, or whole new packages of services, he said.

"We also provide, broken down by each customer, a list of their uncovered assets -- products that a customer didn't buy any service on," Herron said. "Cisco has an attach rate of 50%, and a little more than half of all [Cisco products] don't have services on them. We're going back to the VARs and they're getting 10% to 30% better conversion rates."

Even in their simplest form, service contract renewal reminders give salespeople a good reason to call on customers -- one that benefits the customer as well, according to Shelly Wanserski, inside sales coordinator with Minneapolis-based managed-services provider Agosto Inc..

"It's like car insurance "You wouldn't drive without it; if you have a server or a switch that goes down, and it's not covered, it's just as bad news," Wasnerski said. "It's not a primary source of income, but it adds up. And it's a positive revenue point. You're staying in touch with the customer."

Both Wasnerski and Crotty said the IQM is too new to predict any results. Crotty says that MaintenanceNet "does a great job helping us understand what contracts are out there, where the opportunity is to attach warranty maintenance on our outbound transactions."

Previously, VARs would have to list a customer's assets, send them to Ingram, which would confer with Cisco, which would return them to Ingram, thence to the reseller, thence to the customer, in a process that could take weeks.

"We'd go through an average of seven iterations of a services contract," Herron said.

It's too soon to say what the result will be, Crotty said. But, if overall services revenues should rise by 10% per year, service contracts automated through MaintenanceNet will rise much faster than that, he said.

Build your own boot floppy

How to build a boot floppy for use in emergencies.

Build your own boot floppy
Serdar Yegulalp

In the event of a problem with Windows 2000, some administrators prepare an emergency boot disk designed to bring the system up. You don't have to do this; you could boot the CD to get to the Recovery Console. But if the problem is limited to one of the startup files, the floppy can be used to bypass them and start the system directly, saving you some time getting back on the air.

Here's how to build your own boot floppy. First, in Explorer, make sure you are able to see hidden and system files. You can do this by opening Explorer, selecting Tools | Folder Options, clicking on View, and then making sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected and "Hide protected operating system files" is unchecked. Without this you won't be able to see the files you need to copy.

Once you have this set, format a floppy disk from the command line with the FORMAT A: command. It's important that you format the disk from within Windows 2000 itself.

Once the disk is formatted, copy the following files from the root of your system drive to the floppy: BOOT.INI, NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, and (if they are present) NTBOOTDD.SYS, ARCLDR.EXE and ARCSETUP.EXE, as well as any files with a .DOS extension. (The .DOS files are used to provide a DOS boot sector if you dual-boot to Windows 9x or even DOS itself.)

Note that the above procedure assumes that the system is already working properly. If any of the above files are damaged, they will not work on the floppy. It is best to do this when your system is healthy.

Once the files are copied, try booting with the floppy in the drive to see if it brings up Windows 2000 -- and to make sure that your system attempts to use your floppy drive as a boot drive in the first place. (If it doesn't, check your system's boot options in BIOS to remedy this.)

You may experience problems if you have an LS-120 drive, or "SuperDisk", as your primary floppy drive. The problem does not appear to be consistent among all machines that have one, but it is something to be aware of. Test it before you have to use it in an emergency.

Time brushes your body differently when you’re out of the country, as if it attains a new temperature. Startling news like the shooting rampage in Arizona or the deeper disappointment in Andrew Wakefield hit me differently than I would have expected. Sometimes what we infer really depends on the view. When sitting in a country without an army, surrounded by family and wide open spaces, priorities came into focus, minutia disappeared, the resume of my life diminished in importance, and tragic news penetrated less deeply. For me, travel was a break from responsibility but also a break from the internet, the demands of the constant worry we can feel when taking care of others or bearing witness to the hydrant stream of ideas and news in the (social) media. While I was in Costa Rica, I really felt like a mom. Singularly at times. We were devoid of deadlines and while in the middle of the rain forest, the distance from technology was vast. Big trees, humid thick breeze, and the bazillions of bugs reminded me that there really was a time before my iPhone, Twitter, and e-mail. There can be time that is slow and uninterrupted.

Let me be clear, travel with children isn’t all rosy and relaxed. Travel with children is just that, travel. It’s not technically vacation. There remains little “down-time.” The diapers still get filled, the tantrums remain rampant, the sicknesses can still appear, and the room is usually crammed. And although travel through the eyes of children enlightens, it also exhausts. Which leads me to these 5 things.

5 Truths About Travel With Children:

  1. Kids Still Get Sick. While I like to blame daycare and/or preschool as the source of our many ailments at home, I must say, this past trip proved my mini-theory wrong. We’ve previously held school liable for the colds, lice, and illnesses our children get but F hadn’t stepped a foot in preschool since the Wednesday before Christmas. And our trip was entirely embedded in illness. We left Seattle New Years Eve when F had a pretty high fever. It lasted nearly 4 days. This was followed by O’s stomach virus (lots of vomiting and diarrhea) the following day. The following morning O then came down with the same virus and fever as his brother. In the 11 days of travel, 9 were highlighted with fever. The kicker? After arriving home, F developed a stomach bug and we spent last night helping him deal with projectile vomit, etc… It’s utterly bizarre that it’s been weeks (!) since we’ve seen health in our home. Even though illness was a an integral part of our adventure, we sincerely felt it sincerely didn’t ruin or tarnish our adventure. A nuisance, yes. The volume of Tylenol we used, remarkable. But the illnesses didn’t slow the boys’ wonder. Their sense of delight in the monkeys, the waves on the beach, their time with an unfamiliar grandfather remained poignant. Promise prevailed. Children really are resilient. My advice? When you travel, pack Tylenol, Advil or other fever reducers (miracle workers). You’ll never be sorry you were prepared.
  2. People Touch Children: It’s beautiful. Strangers touched my boys every single day while we were away. The adoration was  exquisitely welcoming while the personal-space-with-children-formality dissolved at the border. When the boys were infants, I was more of a germ-a-phobe and worked to avoid such encounters by tucking them in (the Moby wrap, Ergo, or Bjorn helped). I admit it; I used a lot of Purell. But as they have grow up and entered  the community as members themselves, I’ve backed away from policing germs. Learning genuine, independent skills to connect to others is essential to growing up. Touching and making contact, it turns out, can be a big part of connecting. The boys learned more and more how to greet and respond to strangers. It was valuable; I really felt we were less alone. I’d read an essay recently entitled, Traveling…with a Rock-Star Baby about a similar take on the generosity and delight towards children in Southeast Asia. Children really can function as ambassadors–Being welcomed and acknowledged by strangers urges children to recognize they have a role outside their own family. I am so thankful for all of the attention they received, as they are brighter and more resilient because of it. And yes, I acknowledge that truth number 1 may be a direct result of truth number 2. More Purell next time?
  3. The Airplane Public Doesn’t Welcome Children: This one is a doosey. We’ve traveled quite a bit with the boys. F took more than 20 flights in his first year so I’ve witnessed the many faces of the public on airplanes. Traveling with infants, daunting but not so challenging if you can get your infant to sleep. The biggest challenge for families often arrives while traveling on airplanes with children between 12-30 months. Toddlers just simply can’t sit still and are not easily entertained. And as global travel continues to get more awkward (less water, higher security screening and rituals, more full flights) it’s becoming exceedingly clear that the public does not welcome families on board. Patience is waning, I suppose. I often tell families in clinic to pass out earplugs, greet the neighbors in the rows and ignore the looks and stares during the screaming. Although I remain hopeful that families will feel welcomed on board, I am reminded of a November New York Times article about Child-less flights. The articles discusses the notion (movement?) to create particular flights banning children. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The NYT reports that 59% of the public would like family sections on airplanes with 20% stating they would prefer child-less flights. Internet, how is this possible?
  4. Experiences Are More valuable Than Toys: The boys eyes were open the entire time, their beings quieted. This trip was a telling reminder that experiences in new places, with friends and family, are worth every penny and the sacrifices we make to facilitate them. Travel is education. Wonder abounds in the rain forest, in unfamiliar restaurants, and in a truck on a bumpy road. Travel to cultures different that our own expands our childrens’ perspective. Whenever and if ever possible, get out of Dodge.
  5. Travel Inspires Optimism: An article in Pediatrics published online yesterday highlights the need for optimism. Over 5000 teens were followed starting when they were between 12-14 years of age. They were assessed for their optimistic thinking style and resulting substance abuse, antisocial behaviors and emotional problems. Over a series of years, optimistic thinking was found to be protective against depressive symptoms. Although somewhat intuitive, the findings suggest that instilling and modeling optimism may set your children up for healthier and happier years ahead. Promoting optimism may be an incredible preventative health benefit. Immediately while reading this today, I thought about our travel. Travel, and the challenges presented when out of your typical routine can be a great time to demonstrate optimism (particularly when well rested!). Model and demonstrate your optimism and flexibility with challenge early and often. All it may take is leaving home! Multiple times a day while traveling, we encountered new experiences, food, language, or terrain. Our boys were always initially fearful or dubious. We did a ton of cheering, reassuring and repeating. Fortunately, the fear of the waves faded, fear of many new food was overcome and the fear of flying diminished. New experiences paint a perfect landscape for promoting optimism. Leave home whenever you can. See, it really is about the view.

Is it not true that SSL can be decrypted by simply having listened to the network activity of a PC on a network? (for example, from the first time a random PC connects to a coffee shop, and keep listening until the user stops browsing and you no longer care for further data) Aren't all the keys there and the algorithms published so that it can be decrypted without any brute force?

(This is a yes or no question, but citing a source would be nice for furthur reading)

The short answer to your question is, in the general case*, no.

The longer answer is that the reason that this is not possible is largely to do with the use of Public-Private key cryptography in the establishment of the SSL session which means that the session key is not transmitted over the network in the clear at any time during the session.

*There's a variety of sets of circumstances which may result in someone being able to decrypt an SSL encrypted communication but they're unlikely to apply to the general coffee shop scenario.

share|improve this answer

You can create a common shared secret without transferring it over the network. Read on RSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange in Wikipedia or other sources to get an intuition on how this works. You can even do a simple test computation by yourself (but it is only secure for extremely large numbers and several minor modifications).

Once you understand this, you may want to have a look at the (equally simple) Man-In-The-Middle attacks against these algorithms (probably also on wikipedia). To prevent these, you need mutual authentication, e.g., by signing the DH/RSA public keys and letting the peer verify the signature.

This authentication in turn requires some common knowledge from the "signature issuer"(certification authority), but that information is not required to be secret. This final ingredient("root certificate") is thus simply shipped with each browser and there are extensive procedures for creating and accepting it.

So, as long as you trust these authorities whose root certificate your browser vendor put into your browser to issue correct authentication information(certificates), you will be able to create encrypted+authenticated connections. (encryption is close to useless if you don't know where you're connected to!)

share|improve this answer
+1 for talking about server authentication. However, there are other ways than using CAs (and PKI). You can have more explicit (or out-of-bands) trust mechanisms using self-signed certs or PSK cipher suites. There are also PGP and Kerberos-based cipher suites. –  Bruno Jul 11 '11 at 18:29
Self-signed+out-of-band verification is, with some additional client support, the same as web-of-trust, i.e. PGP. It is an alternative to the centralized PKIX model, but fundamentally you can convert one scheme into the other just by using it differently. Symmetric authentication is the other big part but I did not want to go into it here. I am not sure if ZK-protocols should be counted in as the third generic authentication method. They can be used to authenticate with a weak "PSK" (PAKE protocols) or based on asymmetric commitments/signatures (DAA). Some ZK-expert care to comment? –  pepe Jul 11 '11 at 20:01

SSL cannot be decrypted by the method you mentioned.

However, what you described is similar to an attack on a wireless network key such as WEP.

share|improve this answer

The private key of the server is never transmitted. This means that the client can send information encrypted with the public key of the server and only the server can decrypt it. This information will result in a session key that is only known to the client and the server and will be used to encrypt the traffic.

Note: This is an extremely simplified summary. There is a lot more "magic" going on to ensure that your are using the public key of the right server and the traffic cannot be replayed.

Wikipedia has a good article able Public/private key cryptography

share|improve this answer

The magic that prevents an attacker to decrypt all the data this way is called "asymmetric cryptography". Because the encryption key and decryption key do not have to be the same, it is possible to send one of them in the open, thus allowing everyone to encrypt future messages to you, and still retain the exclusive ability to decrypt them (the other, private, key of the pair). Those keys are different (freshly generated) in every SSL session.

It gets more complicated when the attacker is willing to actively send out "false" keys, tricking others to use them. So the other topic that you might want to read about is "public key infrastructure". This provides an initial level of trust based on previous communication behind the scenes, between parties such as certificate authorities, server operator, hardware manufacturer, and operating system vendors. Already before the first packet is transmitted inside the coffee shop, everybody holds various certificates and keys and contacts to mutually trusted friends all of which will come handy in authenticating the other party for who they say they are.

SSL can autheticate both servers and clients, but because the server has more control over the session key, and also over the business logic of the interaction, it's common not to bother to authenticate clients.

You can occasionally run into scenarios where the normal assumptions break down. Logic errors in protocols, incompenent CAs, government interference, factory-compromised hardware, keys that have leaked without anyone noticing, and random key generators that are much less random than you'd like. For the vast majority of such holes, the privacy in the coffee shop is only at risk if the attacker actively interferes and helps steer the conversation toward the hole somehow.

Five New Interesting Books

Writing this column for fifteen years has been great, but occasionally I am facing deadline and struggling for what to write.  That's when I go to the shelves and simply pull interesting books to write about.  This is one of those weeks.  Here are five interesting books from our New Books shelves that caught my eye, and hopefully will catch your interest.

Faced with high gasoline prices and the need to stay healthy, the book The Lost Art of Walking, by Geoff Nicholson seems very timely.  It offers an examination of the history, science, philosophy and literature of pedestrianism.  We have grown so accustomed to our cars and all too often hop into them when we could just as well walk somewhere.  But, according to the book, "how we walk, where we walk, and why we walk tells the world who and what we are."   Walking has a tradition that is rich with stories and has inspired writers such as Charles Dickens and Paul Auster, musicians such as Bob Dylan, filmmakers from Buster Keaton to Werner Herzog.  Nicholson recounts his studies of walking eccentrics (do you remember Sedona's Waver?), competitive walkers, and even gang members who use the hidden language of a scuffling "Crip Walk" to spell out messages.  Would it be incorrect to suggest that you put your feet up and enjoy this one?

Cindy Pierce and Edie Thys Morgan have joined forces to write Finding the Doorbell: Sexual Satisfaction for the Long Haul.  While many of us think about this topic a lot, few of us understand it, especially how this changes for us over the course of a lifetime.  Dismissing many myths and misconceptions, while doing so with a light touch, the book is divided up into three parts, each with lots of information: Obstacles to a Healthy Sex Life, What's the Big O Deal?, and Sex for the Long Haul (In Search of Happily Ever After).  Best of all, it uses honesty and humor to make the reading less daunting.

Ever a world hot spot, the Middle East poses a long history of conflict and efforts to end those conflicts.  Patrick Tyler has written A World of Trouble: The White House and the Middle East – from the Cold War to the War on Terror, and given the vantage of time, it offers a worthwhile take on events and our efforts to influence those events, the people, and the outcomes, good and bad.  The book's fly states, "The Middle East is the beginning and the end of US foreign policy: events there influence our alliances, make or break presidencies, govern the price of oil, and draw us into war.  In this gripping story of American misadventures in the region, Patrick Tyler shows that the history of American presidents' dealings there is one of mixed motives, skullduggery, deceit, and outfit foolishness, in addition to policy making and diplomacy."  As this story never seems to end, reading this may well provide you with a valuable insight.

National Public Radio had a piece on the recent rash of shoe throwing episodes and the commentator, P.M. Forni offered some intriguing comments.  He also has a book titled, The Civility Solution: What to Do When People are Rude.  It is a small book with lots to offer by way of solutions to all too common occurrences.  As Forni states, rudeness begets rudeness, so having a positive and constructive response helps us to move outside such behavior.  He shows how to break the rudeness cycle by responding to a variety of confrontations, from bullying to rude Internet behavior, or the hurtful words of an insensitive family member.  These are solutions that we have all sought at one time or another.  It is a useful book that prepares you for life's inevitable slings and arrows.

The Trouble with Boys by Peg Tyre offers some disturbing statistics regarding school aged males. The rate of expulsion from preschool is nearly five times that of girls; elementary aged boys are diagnosed with learning disorders four times as often; reading below basic level by eighth grade boys is epidemic; in high school advanced placement classes they are heavily outnumbered; and less than 43% of those enrolled in college are male!  What to do to ensure that both these boys and our nation have a future?  Tyre offers a history of the problem and numerous insights into why boys struggle, as well as ideas for changing the future.  If you have a son, or your daughter is dating one, read this book to learn about real solutions to a growing problem.

Lastly, I want to mention that the Library's Collection Development Librarian, Amy Gill, is retiring to work with her husband.  At the adult collection level, it is largely due to her that we are able to offer such a wonderfully relevant and up to date collection.  She is to be congratulated and we wish her the best in her new endeavors.  Thanks, Amy, for a job well done!

Fun Mail Day

I love fun mail days. Today in the mail I got this totally awesome Frogger mug rug from my partner Leah in England. Which is really funny. But I can't say why just yet.

Scrappy Mug Rug {received!}

Anyway, isn't it cool! I love it. It went right onto my wall to keep the other video game quilts company. No way is this baby having a coffee mug anywhere NEAR it.

The announcement of Windows 8 versions of the Nook tablet provides the perfect platform for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) to consider buying Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS).

Since its first tie-up with Microsoft was announced in April, BKS has lost nearly 40% of its value. The book business is being cannibalized by eBook readers, and (NASDAQ:AMZN) dominates that market. Microsoft needs that momentum to change.

Microsoft has already put $300 million into BKS, based on a valuation of $1.7 billion, so it's lost half that investment already. Buying the whole company would now cost under $1 billion, sofa cushion money for Microsoft.

What would it get? It would get a retail chain that remains strong on college campuses, where textbooks remain a big business. It would get a great channel for Microsoft hardware and software. It would also get a retail channel for its Windows OEMs, which are losing access to the market as companies like BestBuy (NYSE:BBY) circle the drain.

Within six months Microsoft could have a chain of retail outlets that is bigger than Apple's, often in better locations than Apple. It needs retail coverage to make Windows 8 a success.

Now, there is nothing in the news to indicate this is imminent. It's just my opinion.

Most analysts seem to think that Microsoft does not need a retail channel, and even question its delivery of its own hardware in the Surface. They see a retail presence as a waste of money, and are ready to write off BKS entirely.

I call this Amazon syndrome. The idea is that computers and anonymous recommendations are replacing human contact. While I remain a big fan of Amazon, I don't think this is true. People still need people, and such people remain the luckiest people in the world.

Even if you're downloading a book, don't you want someone to tell you which one to get? If you're spending $500 on something, don't you want to get your hands on it first? Don't you want a place to see the people who bring you the content you love?

So there are risks. But Microsoft has so much it wants to sell, that it needs to sell, and fewer-and-fewer places where people can buy it, or see it demonstrated, in a retail environment. It has no equivalent to the Apple Store -- here is a way to get that equivalent at minimal cost.

Sounds like a no-brainer, but many top executives have no brains.

Disclosure: I am long MSFT. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Stepping out of my comfort zone

I’m in a cab on my way home from a fabulous event put on by my wonderful friend (and occasional employer) Barbara Jones of the One 2 One Network, and the awesome Catherine Connors of Babble. They hosted a really fabulous group of bloggers at Hotel Lola to introduce us to Sole Society and their gorgeous shoes.

Sole Society is like a personalized shoe subscription. You can sign up for free (you don’t even have to give any credit card info) and you take a very quick style quiz, choosing pictures of clothes and shoes that speak to you. Once you make your first purchase you become a member of the subscription club, and you get a selection of shoes to choose from each month. Each pair is only $49.95! And if you don’t want shoes in any month, no worries – you can always just skip that month.

I was allowed to pick a pair to bring home, and my first instinct was to grab a pair of flats, since they were adorable and exactly the kind of shoe I would buy.

But, this was an event! Free shoes! Why should I go practical? So, I chose the tallest, awesomest platform heels there.

I was surprised when I tried them on that I didn’t fall over. Despite having a five inch heel, the front of the shoe is about two inches high, so it doesn’t seem so bad. They’re absolutely the most stylish pair I own. I can’t wait to wear them out somewhere.

As long as there are no stairs.

Thanks so much, Barbara and Catherine. Great night out. And thanks to Sole Society for my new shoes!

UPDATE: I forgot to thank Barbara for taking that awesome picture of me and my shoes!

    It was great meeting you at the Sole Society event yesterday! I had no idea we picked the same pair, honestly you took the post out of my mouth, because I can literally say ‘ditto’ to everything! :-)

    LOL about not having any stairs around when you wear those out!

Meander development in a straight channel

loading the player

Meander development in a straight channel
A straight channel is formed in the Emriver model. Speed is x10. After flow begins, the channel slowly forms regular meanders and point bars. Note how the meanders tend to migrate in a downstream direction. The meander bends also expand the meander belt width until about 0:34, when they cease to move outward and migrate only in a downstream direction. Geomorphologists would argue that the channel reaches a point of stability then as sediment inputs to the reach match outputs and the reach no longer has net erosion. You can see this by observing sediment movement into versus out of the reach.

We have case where some adobe pdf files format the hyphen character as %E2%80%90. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/2807241 this is caused by the Calibri font I guess.

So these pdf files have been released and the links don't work So I thought mod rewrite would come to the rescue.

I followed this post here mod_ReWrite to remove part of a URL but I can't seem to search for the % characters according to this question.

Is there anything else I can do?

Here is the rewrite rule I want to use:

RewriteRule ^foo%(.+)bar  /foo-bar [L,R=301]

I also tried this and it doesn't work

RewriteRule ^foo%E2%80%90bar  /foo-bar [L,R=301]

Any Ideas?

Using the answer from this question, I was able to come up with this .htaccess rule which fixed my own unicode-hyphen-links-in-pdfs problem:

# for janky pdfs with links using unicode hyphens
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)\x25E2\x2580\x2590([^_]*_.*) $1-$2 [N]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)\x25E2\x2580\x2590([^_]*)$ /$1-$2 [L,R=301]

From the docs:

... it is applied to the (%-decoded) URL-path of the request ...

So use the actual character in a UTF-8-encoded file instead.

Is there any way for it to see the difference between foo%E2%80%90bar and foo-bar? If not I might be out of luck. –  ChickenFur May 30 '12 at 16:43

example.com/foo%E2%80%90bar comes up with a page not found error. while example.com/foo-bar works fine. I guess I could just move the page to foo-bar-v1 and then redirect all foo-bar to foo-bar-v1. –  ChickenFur May 30 '12 at 17:09

I've seen various Google Tech Talks where they refer to their corporate network as an address like this:

I'm guessing that this is some custom host on the Google Network that is accessible to only people who are connected through their internet connection. My question is, how would you set something like that up? Is it a custom DNS server? Or is it done some other way?

Thanks for any ideas!

share|improve this question

Correct, this is done via an internal DNS server. You can use pretty much any DNS server software you want. If you have a Windows Active Directory network then you already have a DNS server.

Your DNS server does not have to be publically accessible, but it does need to be the DNS server for all the machines in your network. If you don't have a DNS server at the moment, this can cause many other issues. Any requests that can't be resolved are then forwarded to another DNS server (typically your ISP's).

Anyway, back to what I was saying about your Active Directory setup. The DNS server is usually the domain controller, so once you've found it, fire up the DNS control panel (Start > Control Panel > Administative Tools > DNS). Under Forward Lookup Zones, you will need to create either an A or a CNAME record for your subdomain/internal URL.

E.g. Let's say you have an internal server, WEB1 and you want it to respond on http://intranet/ then you would create a CNAME record for intranet and point it to WEB1.

share|improve this answer
Worth mentioning that a CNAME record is only good if you already have an A record for the machine. If no A record exists you will need to create that first. Might not be a bad idea to research DNS, it's a very in-depth protocol once you get using it... –  Mark Henderson Aug 10 '09 at 2:05

This is what is called a non-fully qualified host name. In the DNS world all host records belong to a domain, however a client need not completely specify the full domain when requesting resources from a remote host. Clients can be configured to use default search domains which allows for a URL such as you have given above. It's basically a time saver for us lazy humans.

For example, let's say that your company uses the internal domain name mycompany.int. Your client workstations can be configured to use mycompany.int as their default dns domain. Because of this any queries for non-fully qualified host names will have that domain appended automatically by the client's resolver.

That is, when you make a name resolution query for your company's web site you can use a URL such as your example: http://www/somepath. When your client's resolver queries dns it will automatically append mycompany.int onto the non-fully qualified host name www in order to make a fully-qualified host name which is required for a dns query. Thus the resolver will then perform a lookup for www.mycompany.int at which point it will be sent to the dns server that is authoritative for mycompany.int, which will answer the query with the IP address associated with the www record.

This is done so that we don't have to type the fully-qualified host names ourselves. As I said, for the benefit of us lazy humans. That's all DNS is anyway ;)

Hope that makes sense...

I got my period, and I’m over the moon

November 19th, 2007     by Zoe Cormier     Comments

I got my period this morning, and I’m - pardon the pun - over the moon.

Not because I thought I was pregnant (although I am indeed glad not to be pregnant right now). No, my menstrual joy derives from two sources.

One: I’m not on the birth control pill right now. I was on the pill until this past winter, and since coming off it, have had very irregular and sparse periods, which is - although not unusual - a bummer. It’s not nice to feel like your body isn’t working properly, and particularly not nice to feel that an artificial pill you took messed you up good and proper. But I was greeted by a throbbing uterus this morning, and damn, it’s nice to feel my body working like it should. I didn’t realize how much I liked ovulating until I stopped. Now that things are up and running as normal, I can’t help but feel like there’s something pretty magical about my cyclical peaks of progesterone and estrogen - it’s like there’s a little alchemical lab right in my tummy.

Two: Eco-friendly menstrual products. My eagerly anticipated package arrived in the mail last week, with a collection of re-usable cotton panty liners (in a variety of shapes and colours), reusable panties - which have the cotton padding sewn right in, and - that most awesome of menstrual products - a reusable cup.

Of course our good folks at Shameless have covered reusable menstrual cups and other green period before, but it’s still worth mentioning again - especially for me as I’m a first time user.

Menstrual Cups - Moon Cups, Diva Cups, Lunnettes and Keepers - are soft, flexible silicon cups which you insert, wash and reuse. They cost about $35, which might seem steep, but when you think about how much you spend on tampons and pads in a year, it’s not much really.

Most women know not to leave a tampon in too long - which of us didn’t learn about toxic shock syndrome in highschool? - but few women seem to know about the environmental impact of disposable tampons and pads. Something like 14 billion pads and tampons find their way into North American landfills every year, along with unnecessary chlorine bleach (which you don’t need inside your vagina or in the environment).

Manufacturers actually made menstrual cups many moons ago (sorry, I can’t seem to help myself today). But they were taken off the shelves because “they failed to gain enough market share,” according to Wikipedia. In other words: women only had to buy one. Manufacturers could make a lot more money off us with disposable tampons and pads. And so for decades it was incredibly difficult to get anything but.

As my mother remarked to me today: “You’re lucky you know. Cups went off the market before I found out about them thirty years ago, and now I’m post-menopausal. I hate to think about how much money I spent.”

SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have a Visio Web access web part which is pointing to a visio web diagram in my document library. Every time I save my visio web diagram, the user receives the message:

"Refresh Disabled - Enable refresh if you trust the contents of this file"

(sorry, can't post image as I don't have enough rep points) There are two buttons within the message -

  1. Enable (this session)
  2. Enable (always)

Even if 'always' is click, subsequent saves of the web diagram will bring up the message again. How to I stop this message from appearing after modifying the web drawing?

My visio access web part has a value of 1 minute in the "automatically refresh interval", but I have tried other values too, like zero. My data source is just a sharepoint list within the same site collection. I tried to add a trusted data provider, and an application ID (via the Secure Store Service) but these made no difference. I've also tried to update some of the Visio settings in the Office Customisation Tool (and run the wsp) but this made no difference either, since it is rendering in the browser.

I'm not sure where my answer lies, but I find it hard to believe there isn't a way around this. The user should not have to see this message.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Christmas Wishes and New Beginnings

My wish is that you had as wonderful a Christmas as we did. Everything was perfect, noisy, cluttered, wet and snowy, so much to be thankful for, topped off with a beautiful church service celebrating Jesus, the Light of the World.

Now, I can't wait to break into my sewing studio which was cleaned and things put away before Christmas. I was lucky enough to win a pack of threads from Aurifil and fabrics from Moda just before Christmas and I've been WAITING to plunge into them. I just love the colors.

I couldn't wait any longer and cut into them. It's so fun to see what can be done with a 2- 1/2" square of fabric (or two).  These became windows or are they gifts wrapped in colorful ribbons (a hold-over from Christmas gifts)?

Add some half-square triangles to the mix.

Do I see city lights in my future quilt making?

A few larger pieces of fabric may be in order. Come back and see where I go from here.
Celebrate a wonderful New Year.

Nine Patch Quad Completed

Nine Patch Quad
21" x 21"
©2012 Sharon V. Rotz

With your words of encouragement from last Friday's post, I continued on free-motion machine quilting around my pods shapes.

Soon the surface was quilted and I enjoyed the moment. I'm so happy that I jumped in with this design. When I started quilting, I didn't draw out the motifs, I just let it all happen. Once I started, I was committed as removing the stitching would damage, or at least scar, the fabric.

In some open areas, I added bending lines to fill in and even the spacing between the quilting lines.

I didn't want the binding to show on the edge of the quilt, so I chose to finish the edge with a faced binding.  I had just enough fabric left to cut strips for my binding. I used the same size strips as I would if I were making a traditional binding. The strips were folded lengthwise and pressed, again as I would for a traditional binding.

Then I stitched the strips together matching the sizes needed for the quilt. I mitered the corners and ended up with a frame shaped facing. I laid this on the front of the quilt and stitched around the edge with a 1/4" seam allowance. The facing was then pressed to the back of the quilt and finished with hand stitching.

Tuesday's Tile - At Least It's Not Orange

Quilter's Tile - Frosty Leaves
8" x 8"
©2012 - Sharon V. Rotz

This tile started nicely with a demonstration to a small group of quilters. I wanted to share the fun I was having creating freeform small feathers. I was even using red (another of my favorite colors) thinking this is so right for the Christmas season.

After the demo, I came home with my sample, ready to finish it. This could be an example of machine quilting, nothing more.

And then the trouble began.............

Out of my cabinet, jumped a tube of paint and a leaf shaped stamp.

And the next thing I knew, there were white leaves on my lovely red, half quilted project.

Again, I'm working backward or side-ways, at least. My project is half quilted and now I've gone back to the beginning.

Of course, there was only one solution and that was to continue on.

Actually, the quilting above and below the stamped leaves brings an interesting transparency to the piece.

To complete the tile, I found some glittery thread to add to the binding edge.

 Just a little side note: Don't forget to change your needle plate from the single hole one that works so well for free-motion quilting to a wider one for zig-zagging.

I bet you think I forgot, didn't you.

Not this time and and, at the last moment, saved myself from breaking my needle.
It's a good day!

Snow and Orange? Oh, my!

As they say "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" and indeed it is after a snowfall that blanketed our little corner of the world. Nothing can rival God's beauty.

But, inside I am still thinking orange as I work to finish my Nine Patch Quad (as you can see the name stuck).

I searched through my fabric and came up with this option for the borders. The dark color sets off the quilt top and makes the darker colors in the center pop up. The border also helps to control the brilliance of all that beautiful orange.

I squared off the top and was surprised at how little needed to be trimmed considering the unevenness of the blocks.

After sandwiching the top, batting and backing, I dove into quilting. At this point, I think all the quilting will be vertical. Will that work? I quilted some pod shapes. I don't know, are they good or bad?

Even with all my questions unanswered, I do love the way that the satin weave of the Kaufman Radiance picks up the light and emphasizes the hills and valleys created by the quilting.

Continuing on................

Tuesday's Tile - El Pumpkin

Quilter's Tile - El Pumpkin
8" x 8"
©2012 - Sharon V. Rotz

As of last Tuesday, I had my quilter's tile sandwiched and ready to quilt. All I needed was the right inspiration for the quilting. Looking back at other tiles, I was most attracted to the small feathers I had done on a previous tile called "Songs of Autumn".

This became my quilting inspiration and I enjoyed quilting these small feathers. Again, these are not hard to do. The most important part of this design is a smooth curving line. After that, it is relatively easy to add the small loops for the feathers. Try it yourself and you will see.  In a freeform design such as this, small irregularities are not noticed.

If the design changes as we move along, it only adds more interest to the quilting.

I couldn't resist some super close-up photos. Isn't this what we all want to do at a quilt show? Really stick our noses in and see how it's done.

 If we could only tilt our heads and position our glasses in just the right place.......

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Tuesday's Tile

 What could I do? There it was.

After I finished putting together my nine patch blocks that I showed you last Friday, there was one extra piece. It was a colorful, fun piece that called to me. Over and over again.....

I mean, could you resist this piece?

Well, actually, it was accompanied by a second piece.

My project top was completed. Shouldn't I just throw these remnants away and be done?

The piece that I am fighting with grew too large for my nine patch, but...
when I measured it, it was just the right size for a Quilter's Tile.

OK, Little Scrap, you win!

You will become a Quilter's Tile.

A bit more piecing was needed to enlarge the solid piece of Kaufman Radiance fabric to the needed 8" size.

Another scrap would provide the width to make a tile 8" x 8".

After stitching the sections together I realized there was bubbling along one seam line. On more forgiving cotton patterned fabrics, this may not be a problem. On the Radiance that catches the light so beautifully, this area will always stand out as a mistake. There would be no camouflaging it with my quilting stitches.

So the stitching came out.

And was restitched.

Now, how will I quilt this?

Inside the Windows 95 File System
IFSMgr, The Installable File System Manager
By Stan Mitchell
Publisher: O'Reilly Media
Final Release Date: May 1997
Pages: 375

This book details the Windows 95 File System, depicting the role it plays in providing opportunities and challenges for developers. Over the course of the book, Stan Mitchell progressively strips away the layers of the Win95 File System, which reside in a component named Installable File System Manager or IFSMgr, providing the reader with information that is crucial for effective File System development. With the knowledge gained from this book, developers will have the ability to make crucial design decisions with the vast amount of new File System features.At present, there is a dearth of information about the Windows 95 File System. Microsoft has documented the Installable File System (IFS) in the Windows 95 device driver kit, yet it lacks example programs and background information on the File System's architecture or design. Stan's book, however, takes a "hands-on" approach and, where appropriate, demonstrates ideas with example code. The reader gets a view of the File System like a building that is going up, before the floors and walls are erected and the plumbing is in clear view.The book doesn't attempt to rebuild Windows 95 from the ground up, but it does trace through Windows 95 from the "Big Bang" to its quiescent state (Kernel idle). Armed with this background, the reader will approach examples of the Windows 95 operating system modes in the book, and examine how the File System is accessed from each of them.This book is vital to the large audience of people who don't write device drivers for a living, but who need to know about this new File System in Win95 that, appearances aside, is quite different from what the PC world has used for the last ten years. Includes a diskette containing MULTIMON, a general-purpose monitor developed by Stan Mitchell for examining Windows internals.

More Than 700 Volunteers Support Annual Conference

By Joanne Deschenaux  5/29/2012
Copyright Image Permissions

More than 700 Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) members, 90 percent from Georgia, have volunteered to help out at the SHRM 2012 Annual Conference & Exposition in Atlanta during June. The majority are from the Atlanta area, according to Teela Jackson, one of the volunteer co-leaders and director of talent delivery at Talent Connections LLC, a staffing firm.

“We started looking for volunteers about a year and a half ago, and all of the slots were filled more than six months ago. Many stepped forward,” said Maureen Whatley, also a volunteer co-leader. “The volunteers do everything. They are a touch point in every step of the process” for the conference, added Whatley, vice president of culture and performance at Alere Health.

The volunteers are organized into teams, Jackson explained. Each team has several team captains who give the individual members directions about what their goals should be.

Members of the ambassadors team greet attendees and provide directions to those who are lost or looking for a specific location. These volunteers will answer questions about various conference events and the Atlanta area, Jackson said.

Members of the session hosts team introduce the speakers at each of the break-out sessions. In addition, session hosts help speakers find their way around and keep track of attendance at individual sessions. The ambassadors and the session hosts are the two largest teams, Whatley said.

In addition, the “bag and badge” group works at registration, a separate group helps run the SHRMStore, and another group takes charge of the Meat to Eat program. If someone is new to town and wants to go out to dinner, this group connects them with other diners for a more social experience, Whatley said.

There is even a group of volunteers that organizes the other volunteer groups. They are responsible for making sure that the volunteers know where they are supposed to be and when. There are hundreds of shifts, Whatley noted, adding that “One person might work as a bag and badge person and the next day as an ambassador.” Volunteers can pick their schedules. They log into an automated system in the volunteer room, and the system tells them where they should be. “They get T-shirts [and] instructions and are dispatched to the right space,” she explained.

There is a full orientation for the volunteers on-site, Jackson said.

As for Jackson and Whatley’s roles, they “are the main points of contact for SHRM national,” Whatley said, and “make sure the team captains know what needs to be done and how it needs to be done.” The team captains then communicate with the members on their teams. This “massive communication flow” has been running very smoothly, Whatley said.

“As a volunteer group, we are really excited to have the conference,” particularly because it has been more than 14 years since a SHRM annual conference was held in Atlanta, she added.

This volunteer effort “is very well organized, very well thought out. We certainly plan for snafus. We work and move forward with a smile,” Jackson concluded.

Joanne Deschenaux, J.D., is SHRM’s senior legal editor.

Council seeks grant for trail

Baldwin City Hall

Baldwin City Hall

April 17, 2013

The Baldwin City Council voted Monday to seek a $55,000 grant to help construct a trail between two city parks.

City Clerk Collin Biesler said the grant was offered through the Sunflower Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to improving the health of Kansans. Since 2005, the foundation has helped fund 50 community-based trails in the state, he said, including a trail in Eudora where he worked before taking his job with Baldwin City in January.

The city will apply for a $55,000 grant, the maximum amount available. Biesler said the grant would require a dollar-for-dollar match from the city. Money for the city’s share would come from the city’s quality of life sales tax and its special parks and recreation fund, he said.

The grant application deadline is May 1, Biesler said. That quick turnaround factored into the decision of where the trail should be located.

Councilman Shane Starkey, who is chairman of the council’s community development committee, said that committee members agreed with a staff recommendation that the trail connect West Park with the small park at the Santa Fe Depot. Instead of using High Street to connect to the parks, the proposed seven-block trail would run one block south of the West Park parking lot at 11th Street and then turn west on a route that would lead to the depot grounds following an Indiana Street alignment.

The cost of the trail would depend on whether its surface was concrete, asphalt or other material, Biesler said. It would require a couple of bridges to span the small creek near West Park.

The route was selected because the city already owned most of its right of way, which was an important factor with the application deadline looming, Starkley said.

It was also noted the trail’s alignment was on the city’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan and would connect two existing city parks. Additionally, it is thought the city’s application for Kansas Department of Transportation grant funds for upgrades to the depot and its grounds would strengthen the city’s application for the Sunflower Foundation grant, Starkey said.

The trail idea sounds great--although I don't know who the users will be of this particular path.

Instead, can we try to complete a trail out to Douglas State Lake? Half of it is already built, as in there already exists a great sidewalk going out north on Sixth Street to the lake road. Let's finish it off instead of creating a park to park trail.

1776attorney 2 years, 4 months ago

GreyGhost. With all due respect, I cannot tell you how many people tell me how extremely angry they are about the walking nature trail "to serve the north Highway 56 newbie, upper class".

That trail only serves the north Highway 56 people as no walkers from the city center neighborhoods (especially the elderly) can walk the 3/4 mile to get to that walking nature trail, then utilize the trail itself. (And then walk all the way home again).

Have you ever observed how many people use those spanking new $700,000 sidewalks in that neighborhood? I have. At most, 5 or 6 people per day can be seen walking on small portions of those sidewalks.

Have you noticed that the new road from Highway 56 to the Douglas County Lake road includes a "turn-off" for a "future" housing development into the acreage to the west? Who had the forethought and presence of mind to predict the future? Perhaps a whisper in the ear from the property owner that a nice, new, taxpayer-funded road sure would be a great deal for a developer of a future housing development along that new road.

A great, new, taxpayer-funded walking, nature trail would also be a super selling point on an upper class, new housing development sales brochure too.

The city deserves a huge "Thumbs Up" for re-thinking their focus and providing these enhancements within the center city areas (which have been neglected for 20 years). The center city area of 20 blocks around the Baker University campus represents the "majority" of the town's population.

The Midland Railway and Kansas Belle dinner train draw many visitors to this city and any enhancements to this area are positive.

On any evening, you will see 10 - 20 people out walking, with or without dogs, right in that very neighborhood. (Walking in the streets as the sidewalks are so poor.) These people will use the 2 city park walking trail and maybe even stop for a bit to visit the residents at the elder care facilities nearby. (Or offer those residents a walking path also.)

Stacy Napier 2 years, 4 months ago

55,000 in tax payer money for some trail, but you can't pave my gravel street? There are at least 10 people walking my street every night as you say on a road that is only 20 feet wide an gravel.

Nathaniel Johnson 2 years, 4 months ago

I would not have thought it possible but I keep agreeing with 1776attorney. Maybe its like Siskel and Ebert. Notwhatyouthink has good point too though that pavement will cost you some of your front yard since those streets are too narrow to turn into full fledged streets and thus be able to be maintained.
