OneNote Connection Error on Android

Had an issue with OneNote on my Droid yesterday. OneNote wouldn’t sync and after the usual tech tricks we do, because that’s what we do, I sent an email at 8:16 PM, to: aOneBug at Microsoft dot com.

Unable to access OneNote via Android due to connection error this evening.
Has worked in the past for account:
REDACTED EMAIL ADDRESS

Can login to Skydrive. Issue appears to be with Onenote server via Android.

To my surprise, I received a response from the OneNote for Android team at 12:27 AM.

Thank you for your interest in Microsoft OneNote for Android. We are aware of a connection problem from OneNote to the notebook in SkyDrive currently. We have just applied a fix that we believe you can now sign in again. Please let us know if it still doesn’t work.
Your valuable feedback did help us to understand the problem. We appreciate that a lot. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Flora Li

Thanks Microsoft! Problem resolved and you actually took care of it swiftly and effectively.

Augusta National GC: Offer Ginni a Membership!

What to do Augusta? When you always offer an invitation for membership to I.B.M. chief executives.  (I.B.M. is one of only three main sponsors of the Masters)

Because of your gender discriminating practices, do you pretend not to notice that  Virginia “Ginni” M. Rometty, became IBM’s first female CEO on Jan. 1, 2012?

Toss your archaic rules aside, practice some civility and offer Ginni a membership!

HP Announces Organizational Realignment

Had to mention that HP is still looking to cut costs somewhere in order to boost spending on research and bring innovation back to the company.

With that said, HP announced today an organizational realignment to improve performance and drive profitable growth across the entire HP portfolio.

As part of this realignment, HP’s Imaging and Printing Group (IPG) and its Personal Systems Group (PSG) are joining forces to create the Printing and Personal Systems Group.

Which means they are putting all their marbles in one bag, seeing whats left to work with.

Quality products might help. (Just a suggestion)

How to Add Windows 7 Computer to Windows Home Server 2011

Just finished installing Aweico’s WakeOnLan add-in for Windows Home Server 2011 and Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (and yes, I bought the Pro Version) so I could wake up my army of computers before I put the coffee on in the morning.

However, I noted one of my Windows 7 Ultimate systems didn’t have the server connected software installed. So, I surfed the web for a bit and found that all posts where telling me to just Open up Internet Explorer and type: http://%5Bservername%5D:55000 – replace [servername] with the name of your server.

After two failed attempts and another yahoo stating to type in \\servername\software, I knew that it just isn’t that hard to do.

So I headed over to Microsoft Download Center and snagged the Windows Server Solutions Find My Server Wizard tool. Downloaded the cab file to the Windows 7 PC I wanted connected to the SERVER.

Open the Cabinet file by double clicking on it. Right click on the FindMyServer.exe and extract it to the desktop.

Once you double click on the FindMyServer.exe the correct path and port will opened up this:

Click on Download software and follow the prompts to install.

Much easier than trying to figure out where the connector software is or what port you should be using.

Oh, and Aweico’s WakeOnLan is a must have!

Greed Isn’t Good or Right?

In the movie, Wall Street, Gordon Gekko was a greedy corporate executive who cheated to profit, while innocent investors lost their savings.

“The point is, ladies and gentlemen, greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right.”

Here is a Public Service Announcement, brought to you by none other than Gordon Gekko, aka Michael Douglas and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Yes, that’s right. the FBI did a financial fraud announcement. on how you can identify securities fraud, or to report insider training, contact your local FBI office.

This falls into the category of a few years late and hundreds of billions of dollars short.
