iPhone Users Rejoice

Posted Fri, 12/17/2010 - 11:45 by jjackson

I am a big iPhone user and I know there are a number of you that are too. Not sure if you have upgraded to the latest iPhone software update but you should. 4.2 has many new enhancements but the most important enhancement that I have been waiting for since I was an earlier adopter of the phone is the opening of an .ics file. What is an .ics file? It is a meeting request from Outlook. When an Outlook user invites you to a meeting or event, the meeting request is sent in a special file format. The file includes all of the details for the event or meeting but the iPhone could not open it.

Slow Large File Copy Issues

Posted Thu, 12/10/2009 - 00:00 by jjackson

From time to time, customers will call in to report “performance problems” that they are having when copying large files from one location to another. By “performance problems”, they mean that the file isn’t copying as fast as they expect. The most common scenario is copying large SQL databases from server to server, but this could just as easily occur with other file types.

The advanced user module allows the filtering of users based on the user.module fields and optionally the profile.module fields. The fields available for filtering can be configured using the module settings. Eg. Site admin may search through 1000s of users to display all users who have not accessed their account.
