Robert Hanson's Blog: Copying from Blogger to TWiki with Perl Blogs are a great tool, but sometimes you want to integrate them with other bodies of work. In my case I have this blog, hosted on Blogger, and on a private network I have a TWiki system (a flavor of wiki) where I would also like the articles to appear. (tags: perl)

Orov Vista problems

Orov (off-line Rekening Overzicht) http://www.orov.nl/ was not working under Vista.

I was able to solve the problem as follows:

1. Install the program with the installer
2. Copy the installed program components to a temp directory
3. Uninstall orov
4. Copy the files from the temp directory to for instance c:\orov
5. copy toolbar2.ocx to c:\windows\system32 (You need elevated rights for that)
6. Open a Command window (cmd) and run as Administrator

7. cd c:\windows\system32
8. Regsvr32 toolbar2.ocx

Voila!

Update 30-3-2008:



Added some clarifications and screendumps as requested by commenter Armand.

Recently Orov suddenly stopped working for me (probably a Windows Update messed up).

The symptoms look like a problem the author documented on his site.
The author of the program has some info on this, but the offered solution seems not to work on Vista.

Update 2-1-2009

I recently bought a new PC wit Vista Home premium. Installed OROV again and it works perfect again.

KPN stops with traditional telephony in 2010

According to this statement KPN will stop traditional telephony in 2010.

Microsoft is integrating Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) with your company's telephony network. This is one of the most significant deployment challenges when you are deploying Unified Messaging. Interoperating with Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging will depend on your specific Private Branch eXchange (PBX) or IP/PBX configurations and may also require that you install IP/VoIP gateways, purchase additional PBX hardware, or configure and enable features on your PBXs or IP/PBXs. In some cases, the PBX may cause reduced functionality or limitations in the Unified Messaging features. This is especially true for IP/PBXs. This topic discusses the manufacturers and specific models of IP/VoIP gateways that you can configure to support Microsoft Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging (UM).

MOSS 2007 Search

We are in the middle of upgrading Sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007. In Sharepoint 2003 we were not able to make the search work properly. One of the issues during the upgrade is getting the search features working. Also an issue is selecting the proper MOSS 2007 license (standard or enterprise) due to the limits in the number of documents that can be indexed.
