Time management in IT
0In IT, as in all professionals works, we often feel to “miss” time. Weeks after weeks, we may imagine ourself rowing in desert.
That’s why, in february last year, i opened an account on RescueTime. For the 10 monthes of 2012, it shows up some perspective:
That’s 2418 hous in total, or 6.6h per day in 7/7 …. Another thing, we easily see the holidays (holes).
Their software screen directly used software and get it’s own database to classify them. Even installed on my smartphone, to get the big picture.
Their classification is good with few errors, which can be corrected directly.
The increasing interest in digging by type of activity, for example, I’m more development in late:
By software:
We can even compare ourself to others using their software:
This solution does not allow me to spare time or significantly increase my productivity… But at least I can measure it and know how it happened, which is a first step
Audi goodies: working around autorun
1Ayant une voiture Audi, j’ai reçu un carton de la marque m’incitant à regarder leur offre d’assistance. Pour cela, une clé USB est intégré au carton:
Une fois insérée dans l’ordi sous Windows 7, je vois une installation de pilote Plug & Play Jusque là, rien d’anormal. Après avoir attendu quelques minutes, toujours pas de proposition d’autorun, et pas de lecteur dans le poste de travail.
Un petit tour dans le gestionnaire de disque, aucune trace de clé USB.
Coup classique, je débranche et rebranche la clé, “pour voir”. Et là surprise ! Je vois une fenêtre Démarrer/exécuter apparaître, et une URL saisie comme au clavier, sans rien demander:
Il s’agissait donc d’un clavier pré programmé et non d’une clé USB de stockage.
Malin car cela évite d’accepter l’autorun, et contourne surement les blocages de clé usb en entreprise, vu que c’est un clavier..
Cependant, cela prend directement le focus, et saisi au clavier. Si démarrer / exécuter n’est pas autoriser, cela va saisir du texte dans le vide.

Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Bad Data. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80090005)
0Problem:
When you try to use the IIS console, you get the following error:
Bad Data. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090005)
Why:
You have copied the configuration file of IIS from one computer to the other (C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config)
This file contains Windows account for the applications pools. The password is encrypted using a local key on the computer so the other server can’t decrypt the password.
Modifying the applications pools password doesn’t fix the issue.
Workaround:
2 ways:
- Rollback the configuration on the destination computer. By default, IIS keep the last 10 configurations (C:\inetpub\history)
- Use the supported way to copy the configuration.
Export configuration:
aspnet_regiis -px "iisConfigurationKey" "C:\iisConfigurationKey.xml" -pri aspnet_regiis -px "iisWasKey" "c:\iisWasKey.xml" –pri
Import on target:
aspnet_regiis -pi "iisConfigurationKey" "C:\iisConfigurationKey.xml" aspnet_regiis -pi "iisWasKey" "C:\iisWasKey.xml"
