Linked In is alive and well! Who knew?

I am discovering Linked In. I signed up for it in like 2007 and have basically ignored it all of these years. It turns out that people actually use it, and have been using it for all of these years. I found some job solicitations from 2008 and 2010 and 2014. A couple looked like some interesting opportunities. I wish I had been paying attention to Linked In. Who knows where I'd be now; someplace different perhaps.

I finally updated my mug shot from the one I took in the computer lab in college, in 1995. Yeah, my looks have changed a little since then ...

I reconnected with a few former co-workers and one former class-mate from UNLV.

Needless to say, I plan to be a little more active on Linked In from here on out.

CCENT prep

My company asked me to get the CCENT certification from CISCO.

Here is the site I've been using for preparation and study:

Droid X Update problems - root lost

Uh, well, my 10 year old daughter accidentally updated the OS on my Droid X from 2.2 Froyo to 2.3 Gingerbread. I did not want to do this because I liked how my phone worked just as it was and I was afraid something would break. Sure enough, things broke and the battery wears down waaayyyy faster. There doesn't appear to be an easy way to roll back. So, first thing, the wireless router program no longer works; no more root access. So, need to re-root phone. Problem; Z4 exploit doesn't work. Did a little research:

ok, sweet. it works.  Just go to link 3 above. If you had su before, then you will need to follow the instructions at link 4; but, the instructions at the very end at link 3 will guide you there. Link 1 is just a video that I think guided me to link 3. I just put link 2 there because it's the root of 3. And, link 3 will guide you to link 5, so I just added it here for convenience.

By the way, I used the Linux instructions. I used the Backtrack 9 distribution of Linux running as a VMWare virtual machine in VMWare Player on Windows XP on a Dell Latitude laptop.

I doubt anyone will see this, but if by chance you are here, then perhaps this may be of assistance. If not, then I'm sorry.

Gandhi: "Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul"

Mahatma Gandhi explained that: “Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”

Microsoft Access - Add multi-collumn item to ListBox with VBA

Sounds simple enough; but no simple solution found; at least not easily.

Set Columns property of ListBox to 2 columns.

The answer is to use the semicolon as a delimiter. I guess if you have a semicolon in the actual content you would need to escape it.

Microsoft Access - AeXTreeCtrlLib.dll error

Problem:

At some point, when the Microsoft Access 2007 database file (ending in .accdb) was moved from a Windows XP system to a Windows Vista and Windows 7 system, upon startup, an error about a missing DLL named AeXTreeCtrlLib.dll.

Solution:

Not sure what the cause was or how to fix it. The workaround I came up with was to create a brand new database and then import the tables, queries, forms, and reports from the old broken database. Wala! Magic! Fixed, at least seems to be.

Crazy!

Microsoft Access - rows not included in report

Problem:

Some rows were not included in report.

Solution:

Check for rows in the table that have blank fields and fill them with something.

Explanation:

Not sure why this is. I checked to make sure that in the properties for the fields, it's not required for those fields to have a value.

Microsoft Access- Macro Suddenly Causing Errors or Warnings

Problem:

Errors and/or warnings appear suddenly for no apparent reason.

Solution:

Check your macros. Try using the built in feature to convert macros to VBA functions.

Microsoft Access - Report Query Not Working

Problem:

Using Microsoft Access 2007, I designed a report using multiple objects utilizing the same table. i.e. employee & customer both using a table called "person" to store data. Using the query designer, two versions of the person table were represented: person and person_1. After I saved the design and viewed the report, the fields were messed up.For example, both employee.name and customer.name showed the employee.name.

Solution:

Save the query external to the report, then reference in the report design.

Explanation:

Don't know. I beat my head on the wall for awhile on this one. It's just part of the quirkiness of Microsoft Access. I suspect that it had something to do with multiple references of the same table to represent different data objects in the report. For some reason, thank goodness, I discovered a simple workaround.

Lesson Learned:

If an embedded/implicit query in a report (or form perhaps) doesn't behave correctly, try saving outside of the form and referencing like a table. It might be a good habit to always save your queries this way.

VBA - Null errors

Problem:

Are you getting weird errors about incorrect usage of Null? Perhaps in an If Else block that doesn't seem to be working for some reason.

Solution:

Make sure you are using just Null and the function IsNull correctly. The value Null is to be used in SQL queries whereas the function IsNull() is used in VBA syntax.
