In setting up a new web site, broomshead.com, I wanted to be able to forward an email to multiple email addresses. So after a bit of research on the net I found out you could do this by creating filters:
- Login to Gmail
- Click on settings (top right)
- Click Filters
- Click “Create new filter”
- In the “To” field enter your gmail email address
- Click Next Step
- Tick “Skip the inbox” if you want the email archived
- Tick “forward it to” and enter one of the email addresses you want to forward your mail to
- Click Update Filter
Repeat this process for each individual email address you want to forward to. Pretty simple huh?
The world for pets superstore at Springwood is a huge store for everything pet related, with all profits going directly to the RSPCA. They never used to do pet adoptions, but instead have information on adopting pets from Fairfield. This has changed though with kittens now available for adoption at Springwood. The adopt-a-pet web site though only lists adoptions from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm Saturday & Sunday for adoptions, however I’ve seen kittens and an adoption representative every day since the new year.
So check out the world for pets store and give a pet a new loving home from the RSPCA.

Our web app has been having some problems with ” [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.” error at random times. The connection string is fine, the app runs without any dramas, but at random times it will display this error message. After consultation with other people we think that the connection pooling may be failing on some areas of our app. I wasn’t really sure how to measure this in a test environment, so after some research I found out that you can use perfmon to do this.
Using perfmon to measure connection pools
Start > run > perfmon
Add the counter for SQL Server: General Statistics > Logins/sec
If this stays moderately low, at about 1 or 0 it should be fine, which was consistent with a majority of the different parts of our system until we ran a report. The screen shot shows logging in which was next to nothing in the graph, the large spike was running 1 report.
connection pools in perfmon
And as you can see my computer name is deathstar….orsm! The next step is to find out why the connection is not pooling correctly in our reporting engine…
A while ago I was approached by my boss
“I need a list of all the changes a former employee committed into subversion”
“No problem!” I replied with gusto.
It didn’t turn out to be as easy as I thought. I figured there would be an inbuilt subversion command to do this, but after searching the subversion documentation I couldn’t find anything helpful. I then went to plan B which consisted of:
- Download windows sed editor: http://www.cornerstonemag.com/sed/
- export svn log to a txt file
- Run this sed command on txt file (this example was for only author of cpriem): sed -n “/cpriem/,/—–$/ p” svn.txt > cpriemSvn.txt
svn.txt is input file from svn log
cpriemSvn.txt is output file
sed command from: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2007-08/0748.shtml
There may be an easier way with the latest version of subversion so just check out the documentation first.
