Cron job on plesk

If you cron jobs (scheduled tasks) are not running there could be a permissions problem. Instead of setting up the cron job within the control panel of the domain, set it up as root.

Home > Server Management > Tools & Utilities > Scheduled Tasks

Then select root, and try you cron job again.

Make google tool bar work in Firefox 5 or 6

I upgraded to FF6 and my google tool bar stopped working. Google is no longer supporting the toolbar past FF4 (why????)

Anyway, to make it work is pretty easy.

Go here:
1 C:\Users\[YOURNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[RANDOM NUMBERS/TEXT]
2 Search install.rdf, will return several results.
3 Find the install.rdf that has Google Toolbar for Firefox in it.
4 Edit that file and change maxversion from 4.* to 6.*
5 Save, and restart firefox.

And your tool bar should be back! Note, assuming the Google tool bar was installed on FF4.

Not bitter

Not bitter.

My family has done well. And I have experience with people that are struggling in life. And too often I find myself thinking ‘All they need to do is…’ But then I remind myself that from my vantage point things are easy.

For example, I own 3 rental properties. One of my tenants was short on the rent, short just a couple of hundred bucks short. Both partners smoke, smoking in Canada is darn expensive. $7.00 a pack, got 2 smokers smoking, 2 packs a day.. (7*2*30=$420)… So when the tenant was telling me they were short I am thinking in my mind ‘You cannot afford to smoke, quit smoking.’ But for me, as a non-smoker, it is easy to think/say that.

Just like from Shoe’s vantage point it is pretty easy (or seemingly easy, so he makes it seem) to do well on the Internet.

Faicon.ico works in Fire Fox, but not IE

A client’s favicon.ico was not working in IE. After a little head scratching it turns out the clients created the ICON by change a JPEG file extension from .jpg to .ico.

An easy to detect this is to bring up the icon in FF like this:
yourdomain.com/favicon.ico and look at the program bar, see screen shot.

“I can certainly help you out with that”

I just called NetWorkSolutions. The man, John, taking my call said “I can certainly help you out with that” after I described my problem. Then he instantly told me that there was not a solution to my question. So he could not really help me, unless helping me was making me realize I was stuck.
