Adding resolutions using xrandr

I installed Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu 10.04) on my home computer, but have been having trouble getting the resolution on my Acer X223w screen to be higher than 1360x768. So I found this helpful post on the Ubuntu forums explaining how to use xrandr to be able to add resolutions and having it persist.

Importing a LiveCycle ES process into LiveCycle ES2

LiveCycle ES2 has been out for a bit now and there have been many vast improvements to software that has caused a few programmers a sigh of relief. Just to name a few of my favorite new features;

• Action profiles
• Able to invoke a process using the REST pattern
• Integration of the Adobe Data Model
• Assign task to multiple users in parallel

These are just a few of the improvements that have made developing in LiveCycle easier.
However I have noticed a slight little irritation. In my excitment, I proceeded to create archives of the processes that I had in my LiveCycle ES server and imported them to the newer LiveCycle ES2 (to be able to do this you must make sure to have selected the option when installing LiveCycle ES2). The import worked fine, my processes were available to invoke….however i could not fetch my process to alter it and take advantage of the new features! Unfortunately simply importing the LCA does not allow you to change the processes. Luckily the is a detailed document out there that describes what to do;

I had a bit of a problem when connecting my local instance of Coldfusion to my local copy of SQL server 2008 express.  I had the information correctly in CF admin, however I did not prep my sql server for incoming requests. I had to go to the SQL configuration manager and set the following;

Transfering data from external MS SQL server 2005 to MS SQL Server Express 2008

It was a bit of a pain connecting to an external MS SQL 2005 server so that I could make a local copy of a database on my local machine which had MS SQL 2008 express. I am using SQL server managment studio to connect to the servers. I had no problem connecting to my  local server, and I could connect to the remote server. However, when I would try to browse for the databases I would get an error;

I'm not sure why I weas getting this error as there wasn't anything I saw  connecting the database specified and the database that I was referencing.

However, with a little googling I found the resolution, I had to

1. Select the "Databases" folder under the server connection
2. Go to view -> Object Explorer Details
3. Right click the column headers and deselect "collation"
