Terminating contracts with IT vendors

What is going on these days ? In the last week I have entered into projects with two separate customers who have been terrorized (the customer's wording, in one case) by their existing IT vendor, and want to find a new provider who won't attack them... I find it hard to think with. I have been told stories that demonstrate extremely poor character being played out in cases where the I...

PDF OCR Capabilities...

From: Planet PDF A couple of key points here. First, this discussion applies only to Acrobat, not to Reader. Second, prior to Acrobat 6, Adobe allowed you to perform "paper capture" with Acrobat only up to 50 pages. If you have Acrobat 4 or 5, you've got a 50-page limit (although, of course, there are ways to work around it.) I think that Adobe still offers the Capture Server product for large s...

Windows needs an enema...

In a recent article in the NY Times titled Windows Could Use a Rush of Fresh Air, RANDALL STROSS makes the argument that Microsoft Windows needs to be re-architected completely - ABSOLUTELY I say.

Ubuntu Linux as a Windows Server replacement...

I have recently setup a Linux server to begin serving a small (12 users) legal firm that had Windows Small Business Server 2003 running. The issue was that they were not doing anything special, just FILE SERVING, and so a Linux/SAMBA solution would get them away from needing anything in the way of a proprietary server... So I took a good look at the config details, crossed my fingers and went ...

Auto-start VNC On Server

FROM: http://themorningflight.com/index.php/2008/03/24/auto-start-vnc-on-server/ Mar 24th, 2008 by graham I wanted to know how to get VNC to auto-start on my server without me having to manually do it on the server with a monitor connected. I went to the Ubuntu forums but found no answer there. After experimenting I discovered it was not complicated after all. It seems I had assumed VNC did...

Apache2: Hosting multiple websites

www.debian-administration.org/articles/412 Posted by Steve on Thu 6 Jul 2006 at 22:03 One of the most common Apache2 questions I've seen on Debian mailing lists is from users who wonder how to host multiple websites with a single server. This is very straightforward, especially with the additional tools the Debian package provides. We've previously discussed some of the tools w...

CSS: How to size text using ems

posted 18th May 2004 Text for the screen is sized with CSS in terms of pixels, ems or keywords. As most of us know, sizing with pixels is easy: get your selector and give it a font-size – no more thought required. Sizing with keywords is more complicated and requires a few workarounds, but you’re in luck as the techniques are well documented. That leaves ems. At this point people often leg it...
