This one is quite funny as well... we must have made an impression!
Fri Aug 15th 2008 17:06:46: Viewing Acrobat Documents on Dual ScreensAcrobat is annoying as you can't view two documents side by side on dual monitors (without much window resizing and faffing)... I've finally found the solution. Open Windows Explorer. Click Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types. Find the PDF entry and click "Advanced". Edit the Open Action and change "Application used to perfom action:" from your equivalent of:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /n "%1" Then each acobat document will open in a new instance of Acrobat reader. Probably has a nasty effect on RAM usage, but never mind...
Wed Apr 2nd 2008 18:05:08: Wobbly Thule 561 Outride Bike CarrierIf your bike wobbles when it's on a Thule 561 Cycle carrier then it's because the fork clamp mechanism is not done up tight enough. To resolve this try putting a bit of lubricating grease on the sliding plastic/metal interface. This will enable you to do the clamp up much tighter and eliminate the wobble! Note - don't forget to always do the key lock up whenever your bike is on the carrier, as the greese will also make it easier for the clamp to come undone accidentally!
Thu Mar 6th 2008 15:25:35: PHP4 upgrade to PHP5 breaks PHP_AUTH_USER / PHP_AUTH_PWSince Purplecloud kicked me off for getting too much spam, I've been using Streamline.net for my hosting. Recently they upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5 and suddenly the HTTP Authorisation for one of my sites stopped working. The authorisation is handled by PHP which is quite useful (as using a .htaccess password seems to upset Streamline's server for some unknown reason). In the end I found a nice complicated solution here. Why it works I've not really thought about, however it does work and I'm glad I don't have to think any further!
Fri Jan 18th 2008 23:24:52: iTunes won't install solutionI have been trying to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, but without success. I tried various different versions of the installer (7.5, 7.0, 6.0.5 - all available from here) however they all bombed out with the error "the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured". After some hunting on various forums, I eventually found the solution on the Apple forum - download msicuu2.exe from Microsoft and remove any references to iTunes in the installed programs list. After that, the problem was solved :-)
