Windows 7 + iPhone Bluetooth
Well we finally received access to the Windows 7 Pro RTM, personally I’ve been running an RC for several month and think its the most polished version of Windows yet, but many people will find it difficult to adjust to.
I’ve ran into a few issue with getting its Bluetooth support working with my iPhone, it appeared with the yellow triangle exclamation icon, not sure why, but this can be fixed by right clicking the phone icon, going to properties -> services and unticking the Wireless iAP option, click ok, right-click on the phone icon and select Connect using -> Access point.
Domain name change
I’ve always operated my email and website from different domains, I’ve now decided time to merge them under the projx.it, this will keep my email address simple but also keep the site name relevant. If you spot any broken links, please let me know.
MySQL HA
We’re currently in the process of splitting our websites out onto pairs of servers for High Availability, unfortunately MySQL is pretty poor when it comes to this, its replication facilities leave a lot to be desired and often fall out of sync. But there is a collection of scripts called Maatkit which can help fix this. Here’s a good tutorial http://blogama.org/node/39
Proj-x Transfer v1.2.0 … come and get it!
Transfer v1.2.0 is available for download from here, please be aware that the new version requires you have the DLTK is installed.
UPDATE: Note that I developed, compiled and tested this release of Transfer with Eclipse 1.4.5 and PDT 2.1 available from here and it works! if you experience problems with Transfer and would like me to fix it, then you need to provide precise details on what your running and how I can recreate the problem, if you don’t, then your requests will be ignored.
So, please let me know if you have any problem, and don’t forget to leave precise details.
Proj-x Transfer fix
I’ve finally had some free time to spend on fixing Transfer, it seems the problems were not caused by bugs, instead other plug-ins such as PDT (from v2 onwards) changed the way they’re implemented and started using the Eclipse DLTK (Dynamic Language Tool Kit) which meant Transfer no longer knew how to process requests from the new PHP Explorer (This was not a problem for me, as I use an older version of PDT).
Anyway, I will release a test version of Tranfer 1.2 shortly, note its not final, I intend to add more error checking and some default settings.
Please note the new version of Transfer required the DLTK be installed, I’ll add instructions for this when I release the test.
