Broad and consistent utilization of HIT will:

Dell 5224 Password Reset

Posted Thu, 09/23/2010 - 16:19 by donmc

The documentation doesn't appear to give this up very easily: to reset to Factury Defaults, you'll need to restart the switch while having a serial console open, and hit CTRL-F (lots of times) until the boot completes, and it drops down to a boot-rom style prompt. Read more »

Windows Live Mail - the missing menus

Posted Fri, 04/02/2010 - 15:24 by donmc

Those out there that use(ed) Outlook Express should know that there is no such thing in Windows 7. Also true in Vista, where "Windows Mail" was released.

Yet another major change for Windows 7: the new (free) email client is called "Windows Live Mail" and the most annoying new "Feature" is the missing menus.

To see the old menu you are looking for; hit the "ALT" key by itself. Then, the menu will magically appear.

A cool thing to do if you find yourself doing something LOTs of times:

Edit your ".bashrc" (in your home directory)
and create your personalised script as follows:

wch()
{
sudo chmod 774 $1 $2 $3 $4;
sudo chown www-data.www-data $1 $2 $3 $4;
}

Then you can execute the command "wch" with parameters to execute the commands you want. Very cool...
