Elementary OS a money mending hoax ??????

There is much hype about this so called Elementary OS. I have been a regular visitor to the site. The techno blog OMGUbuntu was also closely following the developments. I have even paid $10 as donation as I always does for OpenSource projects. They had put a very good timer in their site. I had yesterday night 2AM my time (UAE Time) checked and there was 3 hours as countdown. Today morning I tried the site and it started showing almost 31 days as countdown. This I feel  is cheating users like me who have donated and other normal users also. Even the OMGUbuntu site also is not loading and it shows some web 2.0 interactive shell as the page. They should show an apology or some information on the site if there is a delay. I clearly feel something fishy here. Let's wait and see what happens !!!!!!

I was looking for an online diagram creating tool. Came across Gliffy.com where I could create actually great looking diagrams without much of learning curve. The tool is 1. Very easy to use 2. Has drag and drop of elements to your diagram 3. Collaboration (which I have not tested). 4.

You can either create a blank page to create a diagram from scratch or select from a bunch of samples and work on them to create one for your requirement. There are options to export the diagrams you created to SVG, JPEG, PNG and XML format once you register for free on the website. Once you register you can save the diagrams that you created in the site itself and retrieve it at a later time by logging into the website. I made three diagrams and it was real easy and simple. The site has two kind of pa

Kerio Connect - SQLLite journal.db error

Today I noted that the Keio Connect mail server had thousands of error.log files with 75MB size filled up in the server. As always Google gave the answer. The error looks some what like below.

Delete the cache from the client's workstation 2. Delete the profile 3. Stop the server 4. Go to the server and navigate through the user's store folder 5. Delete the .journal.db (for Linux it is  find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND"-exec rm -rf {} \; ) 6. Start the server 7. Create a new profile for the clients workstation With help from Kerio Forum Cyberciti
