Restore OneDrive Happiness

Leave a comment
I managed to make my OneDrive (aka lifeline) on Mac OS unhappy today. It would crash immediately upon opening. I Bing'd around a bit, and came up with this fix: Open Finder Press: Shift-Command-G Enter this path: ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.onedrive-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/onedrive/settings Delete the file that ends in .dat Reopen OneDrive and everything should be copacetic. PS: This will cause OneDrive to rescan all of … Continue Reading ››

And on and on

Halcyon and On and On came on Pandora. Always fills me with nostalgia for my high school days running Mandrake Linux with a stripped down Enlightenment WM and listening to techno on XMMS. So much so, I fired up the old Packard Bell Pentium 166 for a classic listening session. Oh memories. Continue Reading ››

Focus On Your Core Competencies

1 Comment
It's something drilled into every MBA, day after day. It's a simple mantra, but one easily forgotten as excitement around a project builds. I am always tempted to re-invent the wheel, just to see what kind of wheel I can come up with. But, when you have a goal in mind, remember: you don't need to … Continue Reading ››

SSL at Last

Leave a comment
It's long over due, but I finally got an SSL certificate for shernet.com! Was happy to find (sorry for the advertisement) a Comodo Wildcard SSL cert on SSL2Buy for only $60. Was afraid it might be too good to be true, but everything went great, including testing a certificate reissue. Unity engine will finally … Continue Reading ››

To Unity and Beyond

Leave a comment
It's been a while since I got to sit down and write some code. There's one project that's been on my mind for years, but it's languished for some time. I decided to give it another go, this time using Unity instead of HTML5. Since this project is probably going … Continue Reading ››

Where did the time go!?

Leave a comment
I can't believe it's been four years since my last update. While life and work have made progress on many of my projects take a back seat, there's so many exciting areas of IT these days, I just couldn't resist posting again. Hopefully more to come soon and regularly on Linux, Windows, Azure, Hyper-V, VMware, KVM, … Continue Reading ››
Shernet

.COM!

Leave a comment
To differentiate between myself (Adam) and my work (Shernet, Calypso, etc), I'm happy to announce the purchase of shernet.com. My blog will stay here, but information regarding Shernet will be moved to shernet.com. Additionally, net.shernet.* code will be updated to com.shernet.*.

Encrypted, and it feels so good

Leave a comment
Finally implemented SSL for CalypsoAdmin. Authentication was being handled by GSSAPI, so no passwords were being sent in the clear, but it's nice have all of the LDAP data no longer in the clear. The initial plan was to use TLS. TLS works fine under LdapContext, but that broke GSSAPI, which works fine under DirContext. For the time … Continue Reading ››

getRuntime().exec() and spaces in Windows

Leave a comment
If you are attempting to run a process from Java in Windows, and would like to use a path with spaces, let me save you some time and Googling: String[] cmd = { "c:\Program Files\mycommand.exe" }; Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd); IMPORTANT the c in c: is lowercase. This will absolutely *not* work if it is upper case.
