You know, it’s unfortunate but it would seem that Adobe has stopped compiling Adobe Reader for Linux / Unix systems :( The last version you can get that will install on Linux / Unix is here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.4/enu/ Download the .deb package, right click on it then click “Open with Ubuntu Software Centre” and yes, [...]

Zarafa install, configure and my personal notes

Zarafa install, configure and my personal notes A colleague of mine told me about Zarafa. I have administered both a Kerio mail server and a Zimbra mail server. Both have their pluses and minuses. I thought I’d check out Zarafa and here are my quick thoughts: No web gui to admin the server (minus) [...]

Owncloud Updating made somewhat easy Here’s a small process I made to make an Owncloud Server update take less time, I’m currently using Ubuntu 12.04. Owncloud is a DropBox alternative, the OpenSource version doesn’t have SSL enabled currently by default, you’d need, to add it. I haven’t done so yet but I believe there [...]
Middle men and the cost of IT products

Middle men and the cost of IT products I’ve got a big beef with technology companies these days and it’s the involvement of more middle men so they can “grow the business”. Back in the late 80′s (when I was a wee pup of a lad) Dell Computer Corporation dealt directly with businesses [...]
Bash + For Loop + File Input = HOTNESS! I’ve got a particular need for a client’s sales purposes to do reverse lookups and actually tell us what the host name is of each visitor to their website. Think of it as a specialized web report. Sure, they use Google Analytics but that only tells [...]
Making a MIME addition for Zimbra in FireFox I was looking for a way to “push” out a mime change to a number of users but didn’t have too much luck. I haven’t written the script out yet BUT I might post it when I’m done My working script / batch file for a user [...]
Using the date command in cygwin or Linux Here was my problem: I had a Microsoft SQL backup file named “filenamehere_backup_2012_04_13_00646736_7384937.bak” and instead of adjusting the backup file name I thought, can I work around it with a script? In Windows there’s a “time” command. If you type in “time /?” you’ll see it’s not [...]

Download the Kaspersky Removal Tool I had a bit of a bout with Kaspersky tonight, I’ve never used the product but nothing is perfect. The only thing that solved the problem of the avp.exe taking up a high number of cycles on the CPU (%50-%100) was using the removal tool. I thought I’d post [...]

Manually updating Microsoft Security Essentials from a UNC path I haven’t seen anyone with this solution yet and I did get a request to post the how to. A while back I posted on how to push out the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) software to any number of machines with a system startup script. For [...]
Push out Microsoft Security Essentials to any number of PC’s

In my opinion Microsoft Security Essentials does a decent job for the price :p – they don’t just do spyware anymore, they also do malware and antivirus! For a smaller company (or even a larger one for that matter) looking to save money they can try using it rather than a more “corporate” package [...]
