MSSQL 2005 Installation

I was trying to install mssql2005 advanced express edition, but i ran into some problem, it was continuously spiting error at me, the error was this..

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine PHONIEX Error:2147749907 (0x80041013).

i was just frustrated, coz this same error occured when i had tried to install it some half year ago. but still the same error haunting after these long times, It was a wmi problem and after some nearly an hours search with google, i got the solution... i had to run a batch file and bingo the WMI error was fixed. actually it is something like refreshing the links and associations that is what the batch file does. the batch file which i used is as follows..

@echo on
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist %windir%\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End

:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
%1 /RegServer

:SkipSrv
goto End

:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt
:End

Birds of feather FLOCK together

Flock what a name for a browser. Just another we browser on the horizon or what? well we'll have to find out. The tag line goes as The Social Web Browser. and it does seem certain things are integrated into the browser so that you can be in touch with all your friends, like blogs, and many other things...

feels good. but still..... when seen on a wide screen yeah the browser is really good. really... but in my system it doesn't make any difference. and in linux the UI really reminds to me of Firefox (which is my favourite), may be after a week i might find some more differences... Lets check it out...

A hair cut, A Triple Boot, 3 more installs......

Hah!
yesterday was a little great in its own way, atleast after starting with a big disappointment.

First there was the Hair Cut, since something went wrong when i was styling my hair, i thought of making it right by cutting the hair off at the correct places. so with the instructions to give to the barber from my dad, i took off to the barber shop. since i have to remove the glasses when the hair occurs i couldn't see what happened. when it was finished my long hair had been cut short, my dad had tricked me into saying that to the barber.

in the evening, i decided to install the darn windows, which had crashed a month ago, and my system has a problem, coz unless the Linux partitions are removed i cannot install windoze... i hate this Redmond giant for that what a cruel little way to remove Linux from my system, so i backed up everything on dvds and went about the ordeal. this time i decided to somehow do the triple boot with 2 linuxes, which had been eluding me for quiet some time. and yes i did achieve it with some hicchups though, but hey atlast i did it. A triple boot with Windoze XP, Debian Etch, and Fedora 8. see 2 linuxes. hah! man i rock, i should say. But there is one thing, how the hell was i able to pull it off. is it because linux got easier, or i got intelligent, i would like to guess that it is the former, coz if it is the later, then there is something seriously wrong with me.

later in the day, i did install RHEL 5 double boots atleast in 3 different machines. and that was it. what a wonderful day

JLPT lvl 4 Last Sunday

Alone in the Crowd........

am just feeling lonely... so lonely, that i am afraid. irundhadhu oruthan avnum ippo yengayo romba doorathuku poitan.. ippo yaru irukku yenakkunu inga. yaravadu adichi potta kooda keka aal kedayathu.

Jeez, i just don't even have some one to whom i can talk to, to cry, to laugh. No one...

i hope i just don't live the rest of my life alone and die like this.

svn server

Hah! the wonderfull things called mistakes....
yesterday when i was trying to setup the sn server in the UAT server in CGSL, i faced a strange problem, which i did not face in linux.
i was unable to import a file to repository in windows svn server.

i found the answer today. we should use file:/// protocol instead of svn:// protocol.
nice learning though... could have thought of that yesterday when setting up. instead of trying various other things for half hour...

long hair

Yesteday was too tough... I had to put up till 10 at CGSL, Spencers... when i was leaving, i saw a guy, with exactly the hair style which i had imagined and trying to achieve. Mann.... it was much more beautiful to see than that i had imagined. now i have made up my mind. I am not gonna stop listening to anyone. I will struggle hard and complete this hair style which i had dreamed off..

Thanimai (loneliness)

i found this on a friend's profile on Orkut....

XMMS and Rockbox on Rokr E6

 

What is the joy of hearing music, without it's ooh's and aah's.  my phone Moto Rokr E6, is good.  the sound quality is really cool.  but still, in the inbuilt real player, if u choose any equalizer settings, u cannot observe any change in sound, even with headphones the sound remains the same.... 

XMMS a winamp clone for Linux has been ported or reworked for Moto Rokr E6 (ezx).... this works on both E6 and A1200 (aka Ming).....   the interface is cool, very similar to winamp...  the controls are also cool.... u even have skins...  and the best thing is the equalizer.  mannnn it rocks....

thought i am satisfied with the working on it entirely still i faced a small problem (it depends on the severity), i was unable to play 2 particular mp3 files with XMMS which i was able to play properly with real player and zmplayer.  now lemme ponder a little ova this, and see it i could find any reasons for it.  if i couldn't i will go back to the trusted forums to get an answer.........
