windows

Hi. My lectuer is going to send me dvds of windows 7 64 bit pro, and windows 10 64 bit pro, and have found my windows 7 key. Also visual studio community edition 2015, 32 or 64 bit. And I do not have to design diagrams. What I can do is research all the diagrams, then write in a report, what they are, what they do, how they relate to the c # application, I wrote, earlier in the course, a application for a toy store stock control program. Thanks. Marvin.

SQL clients for Windows
by Steve Matzura 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

I'm looking for an accessible Windows client that can talk to an SQL database to do not just database maintenance like supply your own SEQUEL commands on a command line, but create front-ends for users that either generate accessible Web pages or accessible data entry and retrieval screens. I'm also interested to know if anyone knows of a company called Cluen that makes their own proprietary front-end to a custom-created SQL database used for executive recruiting.

PHP and secure Web access
by Steve Matzura 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

I have some rather deep PHP questions that I need answered in order to solve an implementation problem. If this isn't the right place to talk about PHP, even though I consider it a system administration function, I'd very much appreciate a good mailing list name to go to to post the following. I have spent the past three full days trying to learn and understand how to implement secure Web access using SSL on Apache 2.4.10. I got basic password-based authentication to work over port 80, but I'd like to take that a step further--use port 443, use SSL, and make that all-important "s" appear in the user's address bar. I have SSL certificates of all kinds--a certified and signed certificate for my Website, a private key of course, and the intermediate key from the certifying authority. These all work. I know they work because I am using them on my Dovecot+Postfix email system successfully. I could probably cite ten or more articles I've read, most from the Apache Software Foundation itself, on how to set this up, but nothing I'm doing is working, which means I must be missing some key thing. When I browse to my site on port 443 by using https, I get 403 forbidden and have no idea why. If anybody knows what the very basic things I should be doing are, I'd appreciate having that knowledge as well. I've tried so many variants of SSL directives and options, and nothing changes, which probably means the options and directives I'm using do not apply to my situation or need, but there must be some basic ones required to start with, and that's what I'm looking for. Again, if this is the wrong place to ask about detailed PHP stuff, a redirection to a place that is would be greatly appreciated, with my thanks in advance.

TeraTerm
by Steve Matzura 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Is there a better solution for ssh-ing than this? There's a simple JAWS script I use with it, but it has quirks and annoyances which make me wonder sometimes how I get anything at all done with it. Soon as I get my Raspberry Pi set up as an ssh terminal, I'll probably ditch the whole TeraTerm thing, but if there's something better, or something that can be changed in the script I have for it, I'm all about trying it. TIA

Hi. Well my trainer is seeing if he can find a registered dvd copy and send it to me, as well as visual studio community 2013 or 2015. As onlve 30 gtb for our monthly limit and went over, and then had to purchase a data block. So downloading. Not going to download 4 or 5 gb for windows 7, back to that which I have on dvd, backed up. And well visual studio community 2015, or 2013 32 or 64 bit, 7 to 10 or 12 gb. No thanks. Thanks. Also do you know of a tool, which will fix corrupted system restore points on a hard disk and a external hard disk. Got a Toshiba 1 tb usb external hard disk. So copying all my data over a s a backup. Thanks.

Project management solutions
by Jad Wauthier 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

What project management solutions do you use? I've previously used Jira (which is not very blind friendly) and Redmine (which is better but still not ideal). what I am looking for is a blind friendly web-based solution that also has a good web service API that could potentially be scripted at some point. I'm also looking for something that is flexible enough to fit into different work flow styles. I typically prefer an agile approach, but it's most likely adapted to a specific team or group. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Jad Wauthier | Problem Solver Phone: 512.290.3494 Fax: 512.367.5925 It's all in the perception.
