IBM - DB2 Alphablox connections to DB2 OLAP 8.2/Essbase 7.1 ASO databases

I was having a real problem setting up the Essbase connection from Alphablox on Nt and I finally solved the problem I had a look at this support site from IBM and it was quite helpfull. Now all that I have to check is the working of the Tomcat 5.0.28 with Alphablox and the finally debugging. Once I get the debugging up and running I should be in a really good shape.

This is like a major break through since I have been fighting with this for almost a week now.

Error 1714 - while installing iTunes

I was getting 'Error 1714' while installing iTunes I guess it has something to do with the fact that I manually deleted the folder c:\windows\Downloaded Installations\

Since this folder was taking up a lot of HD space on the C drive
Now since I didnt that I couldnt install iTunes updated version since the iTunes installer was loooking for an older version of iTunes to uninstall it and it couldnt find the older installer at c:\windows\Downloaded Installations\

So I downloaded Windows Installer CleanUp Utility that did some clean up.

Google Desktop Episode II

Google desktop search 2.
Just installed it some time back, seems quite interesting. There are some good plugins avaliable for it. I installed the System Monitor plugin.

I had a look at drag and drop in Google Personilization site and it was realy nice.
Here is the Javascript and DHTML API that does the same.
This page also some other interesting stuff like adding too tips to links
DHTML JavaScript Tooltips

I can also attach images to the tooltip, like this is a pic of me on a tooltip

Then there is also stuff for dragging and images, like this Picture , taken when amit was over in london can be dragged.


I got the drag and drop to work using this site : http://www.youngpup.net/2001/domdrag/tutorial

Stopped by the cops again at Tower Hill Tube Station

I think I am the chosen one since I was stopped again by a cop today but this time it was the Tube station and not the DLR station.
This cop started asking me stuff and then I told him that I had allready been searched, he had a stupid look on his face and I told me that I was searched on friday and he asked me if I had the ticket with me so I showed it to him. He then said that he was sorry and he said that I do have a big bag with me ( big ??? it is just a normal sized bag, and nothing much in it ), told him that if he still wanted to have a look inside he definately can. He said that he said that it was ok and he let me go.
