Tadaaaaaaaaaa. Get it from the device manager. Just one word of advice, it NEEDS to be typed in developer.apple.com in all lower case. If you write it in upper case it will not be recognized.

It is the last string in Device Instance Path

Hello iOS 7!

In any case this guy says you can downgrade: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/06/11/how-to-downgrade-ios-7-to-ios-6-1-3/

But let’s cut to the chase. I downloaded the software from developer.apple.com – you need a dev account for that. And so I have the dmg file in desktop. I go to iTunes now and it doesn’t let me select the dmg file. Crap I forgot that #1 the ipsw is inside the dmg file, #2 my Mac Book Pro is at work and #3 I don’t want to wait for tomorrow as I only have Windows on this side of the city.

Solution:

Download Power Iso (http://www.poweriso.com/) and open the dmg file. The dmg file is just like a zip file in logical terms, extract the ipsw and install from iTunes.

Voila! iOS 7 installed and I am ready to suffer bugs, bad battery life and everything that comes with a beta!

Es increible que haya un lapso entre ingresar una cuenta para hacer transferencia y poder hacer la transferencia. La gente tiene prisa, tiene que trabajar, tiene que seguir adelante y una transferencia hacerla de inmediato y no en dos pasos.

Esto es como hacer fila pero virtualmente. Es simplemente tonto!

(Si yo se que van a decir que es una medida de seguridad, como la vara de Java de la entrada y la tontera de cambiar de clave a cada rato. Con el token es la mejor medida de seguridad y con alertas de transferencias como el BAC. Aprendan de los que si saben hacer las cosas bien – LAFISE tambien te estoy viendo…)

I got this error and was pretty much clueless. It is under Windows Server 2012 and it didn’t occur in 2008

How did I solve it?

Add Application Development from the Features! Remember to add the 4.5 stuff if you need it

And then do the following in a command prompt, if required. Update to Allow on the handlers and modules section in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config and remember to open as administrator

< section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Allow" / >
< section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" / >

Now I am in Win8 (and Server 2012) and the horrible usability gives me a hard time. Only accepted a bit by the nice looks of it and speed.

So trying to make my life easier I just discovered the nicest short cut (apart from Win + C for getting the oddly name thingie on the right)

Win + X. A geek’s new best friend in Win8

Now think hard… What does it look like? Hint: see below

The Windows 8 screen is just the Windows 3.1 one with a blue background! Is Microsoft saving some money in design here or did they bring someone old back to the team?

Do the following (some taken from the “Getting things done” book by David Allen, just a bit modified for my needs)

- If there is nothing you can do about it, simply mark as read and let it go. This is the most difficult one of all categories because it is hard to accept that there is nothing you can actually do about it. Accept it

- If you can do something but not now and it is not that importante, then [create a task in Jira (I have my own) or some other task tracking/Kanban/post it/whatever system you use] so that you can take care of it later. This is your “do it later, not important queue”.

- If it is important, you can complete it now and it is (relatively) quick then

- If it is important but you can’t complete it now, then schedule it in your important queue. Use Kanban when possible. No more than 5 important tasks queued as then you will only be moving your mess from your inbox to your task list and this is not the idea. Scheduling is key, else you can just kick the bucket.

Remember never to procrastinate!

I recommend also reading the Productivity Manifesto by Nathan Barry too, which is very good however in some cases it is not possible to follow his advice. I can’t do blocks of 25 minutes of my time, else some people of my team could be blocked and waste minutes of their time. And no, I am not that important but in some cases dependencies arise and minutes count.

So before doing anything that can be interrupted if there is an open connection just run this:

CREATE TABLE #sp_who2 (SPID INT,Status VARCHAR(255),
Login VARCHAR(255),HostName VARCHAR(255),
BlkBy VARCHAR(255),DBName VARCHAR(255),
Command VARCHAR(255),CPUTime INT,
DiskIO INT,LastBatch VARCHAR(255),
ProgramName VARCHAR(255),SPID2 INT,
REQUESTID INT)
INSERT INTO #sp_who2 EXEC sp_who2
SELECT *
FROM #sp_who2
-- Add any filtering of the results here :
WHERE DBName <> 'master'
-- Add any sorting of the results here :
ORDER BY DBName ASC

DROP TABLE #sp_who2

Please note that sp_who2 is undocumented by Microsoft so it might change

Msg 952, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_who, Line 79
Database ‘UATdb’ is in transition. Try the statement later.

Try this instead:
ALTER DATABASE UATdb SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
