Problem
The above will return zero results if you have a server name mapping configured in your search settings-

Solution
Removing the server name mapping will resolve this issue and site specific search works as expected

Tip: Adding a query string url restriction is equivalent to the following-
 

Workaround
Modify one of the Kwizcom javascript files (“12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\KWizCom_KSCP\KSCP.js”) to comment out the drag drop functionality (See lines 13, 21 & 22) -

   1:  function kwiz_cal_DragDropOnLoad(q)

   2:  {

   3:      g_WPQ = q;

   4:   

   5:      // attach onscroll event (needed for recalculating table cells positions)

   6:      window.onscroll = kwiz_cal_Scroll;

   7:      

   8:      if(browseris.ie || browseris.safari)

   9:      {

  10:          kwiz_cal_Calculate_Cells();

  11:          

  12:          // disable text selection for ie, safari

  13:          //document.onselectstart = function(event) {return false};

  14:      }

  15:      else

  16:      {

  17:          // firefox does not execute this function when assigning to onscroll event, but IE & Chrome do

  18:          kwiz_cal_Scroll(); 

  19:          

  20:          // disable text selection for firefox

  21:          //if (typeof document.body.style.MozUserSelect != "undefined") 

  22:          //    document.body.style.MozUserSelect = "none";

  23:      }

  24:  }

More Info

The official word from Kwizcom Support on this issue is as follows:

“The issue is caused by dragdrop functionality. The new release version 3.3.00 will allow the users to disable drag drop through settings.  Currently there is no exact timeline for release.”

Boot up was under 15 seconds on all attempts with a VMware configured with 256MB RAM and 1 Processor at 2.4 GHz. From login screen to home screen took under 5 seconds on all attempts.

2) Inside the OS
Upon the first login, Chrome OS opens up 2 tabs that would be most commonly used: Mail & Calendar. However after resetting the machine chromium only displayed the Google home screen. The homepages are configurable (See configuration options below)

There is a button on the top left that seems to be the equivalent of a “Start” button in windows. However you need a “@google.com” account to access any “Google Short Links” here. Neither my Gmail account nor my Google Apps account worked here.

3) Configuration Options
Configuration options can be accessed from the top right drop down menu. Looks like Google is planning on supporting other browsers besides just chrome based upon the second configuration screen.

Turns out that if you already have an existing alert setup on the list then even if you switch the list to use a different alert template, sharepoint sends you alert emails using the template that was assigned to the list when you ORIGINALLY setup the alert.

So the SOLUTION is to delete your existing alert and re-subscribe to the list.

If you would like to know more on how to customize the alert email templates in sharepoint then this is a great resource: Customizing Alert Notifications and Alert Templates in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

I recently ran into this problem and soon realized that the “VMWARE Server Web Access” service had stopped due to the IP Change.

The solution is to simply start this service! You may notice a console window pops up and starts a tomcat process. Let this window run in the background. If you close it, then your service will stop again.

To fix this, install Vmware tools on the virtual machine. You can kick-off the installation using the Vmware Server homepage on the physical host.

This is basically a window switching utility. Trouble is, I NEVER INSTALLED ANY SUCH UTILITY! I can’t complain – I actually like this. However, I would still like to figure out how I got to benefit this little feature. And just so we are clear, I don’t believe in a guardian angel.

Here is a list of software that I recently installed-

1. Safari
2. FolderShare
3. Digsby
4. Google Desktop

Now for the screenshots of my machine. Some details have been obfuscated.

The original Twitter Facebook application puts an annoying "is twittering" at the beginning of the status message in Facebook. The developer of the Twitter app said that this would be removed once Facebook removes the "is" from their status messages. To make a long story short, Facebook removed the "is" but the twitter application still puts in "is twittering".

The solution is to use TwitterSync. Twitter Sync is another Facebook application that not only removes the "is twittering" from your status updates but goes a step further to let you use customized verbs. It also lets you create filters on your twitters.

TwitterSync is worth checking out. [Link]
