Oh the bundle of joy this was….

To build 32 bit serves on a 64 bit machine you need to run the following

apt-get install libc6-i386  libc6-dev-i386 lib32gcc1 libstdc++6  libstdc++6-4.4-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib

CC=”gcc-4.4 -m32″ CXX=’g++ -m32′ LDFLAGS=”-m32 -L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32″ ./configure –v

make

make install

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c-3.1.so /usr/lib32/libxerces-c-3.1.so

Hope this helps someone

Oh install readelf so you can run

readelf -h /usr/lib32/libxerces-c-3.1.so

To check it has compiled as 32 bit

When trying to reinstall .NET 2 after a failed install/reinstall you may get this message.

error 25007. Error occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim(). Error: 0×80131700

You will also go and do all sorts of stuff to get it working.  What they don’t tell you is:

UNINSTALL .NET 4 TOO AND REBOOT BEFORE REINSTALLING….

What strange weather for the time of year….

In the UK bank sort codes take the format 99-99-99 for example,   Excel plays silly buggers with this,  you can get around it by prefixing it with a ‘ which will turn the field to text but really there is a better way by creating a  custom number format.

Simply go to format cells -> Custom and then enter 00-00-00 as the format.   this has the added bonus of preserving the leading number if it is a zero.

Have fun

Right, a friend of mine down the pub has taken in a young dog because the family that had him originally discovered that one of the kids is allergic to dogs.

This little hound is a lovely animal but does not seem to respond to my friend’s commands, I have deduced from this that it is not that it is because it is a puppy but due to it’s former location (London) and therefore it is obvious that he doesn’t understand people in Worcestershire and must only speak Cockney rhyming slang…

I have started on a translation guide for him, and when complete will be printed out and posted in the pub at dog level to assist canine communication.

Windows and doors , paws
Apostle’s creed , lead
Elbows and toes, nose
Having a beg, cocking a leg
Daily mail, wagging my tail
Parking , barking
Give me a phone, throw me a bone
Having a yap, one requires a scoop and bag
Strike a match, catch

This is a work in progress…

Time for a beer….

Just a quick note.

You will need to reboot after inserting SIM card.

In the mobile settings you will need to create a new Apn entry.  You will be able to get this from your providers website.

Important : the name on the entry will need to match the providers name for it to work.
