Unzipping the file will reveal two files — a php class file and a simple html form page. The two are designed to work together once the class file has been configured. Look in the comments at the top to see what needs to be done.

Enjoy!

Well, I ran across a random message (thanks oracle forum user user599812) that suggested that if you move your oracle setup folder closer to the root C:\ folder, you might solve your problem. I am here to say that we had this problem, and moving the folder to C:\ solved the problem.

There is also a nice table with the same data that can be sorted by district, county, town, or zip code. Good stuff.

… of course, their map wont look like this if it wasn’t for the December 12 2008 ice storm.

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

what is it?

check to see if your environment variable ‘TWO_TASK’ is set. Once you set this variable to the connection descriptor in your tnsnames.ora file, you’ll likely be ok.

If you need to replace a common string in multiple files to another common string, you can use the rename command.

rename _from_ _to_ filename

so rename a b a*.log

would change a1.log to b1.log and a2.log to b2.log

further, if you want to remove that common string, you can type the following

rename _from_ '' filename

so rename a '' a*.log

would change a1.log to 1.log and a2.log to 2.log

The best example came when we were cloning a database and the dbf files had the oracle sid in the name.

rename prod_ test_ prod_*.dbf

this changed
prod_system01.dbf to test_system01.dbf
prod_users01.dbf to test_users01.dbf
prod_sysaux01.dbf to test_sysaux01.dbf
… and so on.

For example, typing

ps -aux

will fill only to the edge of your screen.
If your screen is less than 132 characters wide, you can expand your line to that mark with

ps -auxw

and excess will wrap to the next line.
However if you just want to see it all, add a second w

ps -auxww

This will show everything, wrapping when necessary.

Simply navigate to your oracle wallet directory and type
orapki wallet create -wallet ./ -auto_login
(you will be prompted to establish a new password for this wallet)

and then type

orapki wallet add -wallet ./ -dn "CN=cname, OU=ounit, O=org, L=city, ST=state, C=country" -keysize 1024 -self_signed -validity 365
(where the dn entries are customized to your environment)

You will be prompted for the same password you set with the first command, and you are all set.

One thing we have done is changed the validity (hey, if it’s self-signed, do you care how long it lasts?) from 365 (1 year) to 7300 (roughly 20). Now my self-signed cert is set until 2028 with just two commands.

We live about 120 miles from Boston, but we are members of the Boston Museum of Science. We did so mainly due to the cost of going to such a museum. For a family of four, it was essentially cheaper to buy the membership simply for going twice … easy enough because the museum is phenomenal.

What does a membership bring? Generally it brings

• Free basic admission to the museum for the length of the membership — usually a year
• Discounts to the gift shop and cafeterias
• Discounts on tickets to museum extras (IMAX, planetariums, etc.)

But the greatest benefit is the ability to participate in the reciprocal admission that all ASTC member institutions share. The reciprocal program in short allows you to go to other participating ASTC museums and enter for free. There are some exceptions (like museums close to your ‘home membership museum’ will not honor you discount), but it is truly valuable. In addition, a unique benefit of the Boston MOS is that they are also an AZA member, so we have reciprocal opportunities there as well.

To date, we have likely seen 4-5 free sky shows at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium and a couple of times at the Squam Lakes Science Center … not to mention 3 trips to the MOS and at least one more this summer and a trip to Chicago … The Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum, and Adler Planetarium await …

There are a handful of simple things you’ll find everywhere. The pens (I actually really like them), snow globes, charms, and bedroom doorknob pictures can be found in your own Disney hotel. But for the fun stuff.

In the Magic Kingdom:

In Epcot:
I did not see anything

In Disney-MGM Studios

In Animal Kingdom
I did not see anything

Downtown Disney

My favorites were the two in Disney-MGM studios. Both were not known to us when we left, and were both places where we saw items that we did not see anywhere else.

Certainly your experience may vary, and with two kids to look after, I’m sure we missed a few. Also, this was a July trip. One in October might yield different results. Feel free to comment with other Disney World locations (hey, and if you’ve got info on Disneyland locations, I may be going there soon) and any differences noticed during the Halloween season.
