I was experiencing an issue with connecting to an SSRS report when some report request form data was changed. Larger reports would fail, leading me to believe there was a timeout associated with this. I adjusted the ReceiveTimeout entry in the following reg key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
to 60000 (decimal).
This resolved the issue for me.
The following script will allow you to sync scheduled tasks to a local server from a remote one. You can modify the source and target folders, and that’s good because this script will wipe out the target folder (the one on the local host) every time it’s run. Of course you could change that behavior easily. I keep this scheduled task running in the root of scheduled tasks and it’s never removed. You could choose to sync the root folder, and use a where clause to make sure you protect certain tasks.
This script also imports the scheduled tasks as disabled. I’m using this for a failover server, so I want them off. you can fix that by removing the .replace(“str”,”newstr”) chunk.
Enjoy!
I’m running HAProxy on ArchLinux and I need a few IPs on the load balancers. In this case, I’m specifically using an IP for the stats page with the following configuration:
listen stats 192.168.99.99
mode http
stats uri /
stats auth admin:password
stats realm Internal\ LB1\ Stats
In Arch you either use the network daemon or the net-profiles daemon. Neither of those supports multiple IPs on a single interface too easily, and the easiest method I’ve found is to simply append the command for adding an IP to an interface to the end of the rc.conf file.
ip addr add 192.168.99.99/24 dev eth0
Itching to use one of the best new features of iOS 5 – WiFi Sync? I don’t blame you – it’s great to be free of the required USB connection to your computer every time you want to backup/sync your iPhone/iPad.
However, you may encounter a situation where the “Sync Now” button is grayed out on your iPhone/iPad in the Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync menu. Do not fear. This is likely caused by one of three simple causes.
The GPS on the iPhone can get stuck on whenever an app is consistently requesting positional information. Here are two of the most common causes:
Read our guide on solving this issue in less common scenarios here, which tells you how to locate the offending app
In order to wirelessly download all those purchased music, books, and vides from iTunes to your iPad/iPhone/iPod, launch iTunes then open the iTunes Store and click on the new Purchased link on the right side under Quick Links. You will see an icon to the right of your media that looks like a cloud with a down arrow.
You can click that for any media you want to download or choose to download all below that.
After your media has been downloaded to the iCloud, launch iTunes on your iPad/iPhone/iPod. Click on Purchased at the bottom right of iTunes. Download all the media you want and then it will be available in its respective locations on your device.
After upgrading to iOS 5, if you’re having trouble finding the new camera button that’s supposed to be on the lock screen, it’s because you have to double click the home button in order for it to appear.

After upgrading to iOS 5, if your GPS is “stuck” on, open your Settings app -> Location Services.
Within this menu, any app that is currently using your iPhone’s GPS will have a small purple arrow next to it. You can then end that app or disable Location Services for that individual app.
When I ran into this problem, I initially thought it was that I’d enabled Find My iPhone during iOS 5 setup. However, it turned out to be my recently updated Foursquare app in which I’d enabled the new Foursquare Radar feature in the app. So I just turned that off, and my GPS was no longer constantly active.
edit: I’ve also noticed that sometimes Find My Friends will also cause this.
