So one of our stores computer which is on windows 8.  The recent .net 4.6.2 couldn't be installed and this was a critical component of installing the quickbooks POS.  The technician from quickbooks worked for 7 hours without avail.  Finally it came down to our lap. Here are the things we did. The computer was on windows 8.  We wanted to upgrade to windows 10 but then understood the challenges of the hardware compatibility.    We tried to install he .net 4.6.2 and it was returning with an parameter not right. So we tried couple of things and found that the windows had the update problem and did not update for a long time.  We then decided to update the windows patch. Unfortunately we found that the windows patch were giving error. The error was Windows Update problem. Error 80070422 after lot of tinkering, we finally found that the the "windows module installer" service should be automatic and started. 

Here is an interesting trick today for Trello I learnt.   Basically the lists were going across the screen and could not keep track  - some of them. So here is the one which worked.  Install the stylish extension  ( from the chrome webstore ) and then go to http://userstyles.org/styles.  Look for the  different Trello extension and choose the Trello: multiple rows.  Viola, it adjusts to your browser. I also like the Pimp Trello to keep track of your dates and also labels.   Do you have another trick?

Apparently there is a bug in UBUNTU 14.04 where the VSFTP does not seem to work  It is a reported bug by Ubuntu kernel and there is an updated kernel which works.  Unfortunately for the Amazon EC2 it seems that they still have the older version.  There is an option to get the latest Ubuntu Kernel and update it but that will be great with a fresh install.  For those installed the option seems to be limited. The PROFTPD seems to be working.  Here are the details.  LOGIN IN using the pem key via putty: #sudo su root - root# apt-get install proftpd Edit the proftd.conf in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf   vi  /etc/proftpd/proftpd.confg  Make sure port 21 is not commented out Make the below changes. # In some cases you have to specify passive ports range to by-pass # firewall limitations. Ephemeral ports can be used for that, but # feel free to use a more narrow range. PassivePorts       ...

STAR DOM   When you wish upon a star, Your dreams will take you very far But when you wish upon a dream, Life ain't always what it seems What you see on nights so clear, In the sky so very dear You're a shining star, No matter who you are Shining bright to see, What you can truly be Shining star comes into view, Shines it's watchful light on you Gives you strength to carry on, Makes your body big and strong Born a man-child of the sun, Saw my work had just begun Found I had to stand alone, Blessed now I got my own So if you find yourself in need, Why don't you listen to these words of heed Be a giant grain of sand, Words of wisdom "Yes I can"

The company A.T. Cross (or Cross for short) was founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1846 by Richard Cross. Though the Cross family were traditionally jewelers, Richard Cross was a superb pen and pencil maker who passed all of his knowledge to his son, Alonzo T. Cross. In 1916, the Cross family sold the company to an employee, Walter R. Boss, who transformed it into the world-wide success it is today.For more than 165 years, Cross has re-invented writing instruments by combining design ingenuity with jewelry-quality craftsmanship. As America's first manufacturer of quality Cross fine pens , they have continued to make pens people will use, depend on and enjoy for years to come.What is most striking about Cross, is not how much the Company has managed to create and revolutionize in its 165 years, buy what has not changed about it. Headquartered in beautiful Lincoln, Rhode Island, A.T. Cross is proud to still be part of the community that it was founded in. While other companies u...
