  • Oikeusministeriö ottaa OpenOfficen käyttöön

    Oikeusministeriö on tehnyt virallisen päätöksen ottaa käyttöön OpenOffice.org-ohjelmiston ministeriön toimisto-ohjelmana vuoden 2007 alusta lukien. Samassa yhteydessä oikeusministeriössä ja sen hallinnonalalla otetaan käyttöön OpenDocument-tiedostomuotostandardi asiakirjojen tallennusmuotona.

  • XPCOM: Event Receiver refusing to die at shutdown

    After a fresh, clean install of Windows XP and Service Pack 2, installing Firefox 2 seems to have gifted me the notorious XPCOM: Event Receiver problem. No extensions, no nothing on top of it, just plain vanilla FF 2.0 with DOM Inspector and the talkback agent it comes pre-packaged with.

  • Naksujousi

    Onnistuin hankkimaan koneeseeni vakoilu- ja mainosohjelman asentajan, joka ei lähde, ei sitten millään. Oma vikani, mitäs menin avaamaan sen PIF-tiedoston sokkona. Haksahduin siihen, koska luulin sitä kuvatiedostoksi, jollaiseksi se IRC-URLs.netissä oli luokiteltu.

    No, edellisestä Windowsin uudelleenasennnuksesta onkin jo vierähtänyt hyvä tovi. Lähteepähän saman tien kaikki ylimääräinen karsta jota levylle on kertynyt.

    Uusinta Ubuntuakin ajattelin taas kokeilla.

  • USG Intelligence Agencies' Networking IT Falling Behind

    “[When Matthew Burton was hired by the Defense Intelligence Agency] his mind boggled at the futuristic, secret spy technology he would get to play with: search engines that can read minds, he figured. Desktop video conferencing with colleagues around the world. […]

    But when he got to his cubicle, his high-tech dreams collapsed. ‘The reality,’ he later wrote ruefully, ‘was a colossal letdown.’”

  • WordPress: mass edit 'Allow Pings' fields with SQL

    I’d previously closed pinging for all ancient posts to prevent trackback spam, but after installing Akismet my blogs have ceased to suffer from it, so I decided it was time to re-open them.

    Took me some time to find the appropriate SQL spells, but I finally came across the right ones at WP’s support forums: by applying btvillarin’s SQL instructions I was able to achieve somewhat the reverse of what he was aiming at:

    UPDATE wp_posts
    SET ping_status = "open"
    WHERE ping_status = "closed";

    This causes all posts with their ping status currently closed be changed so that they’re once again open for pings.

    Note that you might have to replace wp_posts in the above with yourtableprefix_posts, in case you have changed the default table prefix.
