Sanako Study 1200 controlled web browsing–strict policy

2012/04/18 Leave a comment
  1. View an sanako-webbrowsing_Thumb 80-seconds screencast showing how a teacher can set up a student activity where students are only allowed to access on web site.
  2. In this example, the website is a common dictionary: http://www.dict.cc which the student will be allowed to access during an exam (in lieu of a paper dictionary policy).
  3. Never mind that the voiceover is partially in German – the video should be self-explanatory. If not, here is a written step-by-step on Sanako controlled webbrowsing.

How to troubleshoot network share and thumb drive disk space issues with WinDirStat

2012/04/13 Leave a comment
  1. There are many such tools, but WinDirStat has served me well, and it is free.
  2. Especially useful seems the treemap visualization and that you can drill in per file type, from the upper right pane,  and to a file location from the tree map,. like so:
  3. troubleshoot-network-shares-out-of-space-issues-with-windirstat
  4. Similarly useful on not-shared, but limited-storage drives, e.g. for deduplicating, like so: windirstat-thumbdrive
  5. This detailed tutorial (which, incidentally, uses WinDirStat, can give you a list of ideas/folders where it is worthwhile checking the WinDirStat results (although one of the nice features of WinDirStat is that it sorts folders and an aggregate of the files in a folder by size).

How to use Sony PMB software and a Rosewill memory card reader to read your Sony MS-PRO (and bring Windows-XP to its knees)

2012/04/11 Leave a comment
  1. The Rosewill rcr-ic001 card reader seems temperamental – you need to try several times to insert the card for the reader light to reliably flash.
  2. It seems you need the Sony-provided software installed to have Windows recognize the drive: sony pmb1.
  3. And offer an import:
  4. sony pmb2
  5. However, the import of videos fails for me (only images get imported)sony pmb3.
  6. But at least I can access the videos through Windows, from here (for non-HD):
  7.  sony pmb4
  8. Until things go bad (computer slows to a crawl, then explorer crashes): sony pmb5 data execution preventionsony pmb5 data execution prevention2

Installing support for non-western languages in Windows XP

2012/04/06 Leave a comment
  1. You do not have them if your control panel / regional and language options looks unchecked like this: xp-lost -support-for-nonwestern-foreign-languages
  2. you need your Windows XP install disk
  3. The installer is not smart enough to find the i386 folder, nor to find all files around it.
  4. xp error installing nonwestern langauges cplexe
  5. Just point the installer to the directory manually where you located the file in question. xp error installing nonwestern langauges xjis.nl_
  6. The initial directory it is lookiong for is /i386/lang. The 2nd directory it is looking for is /i386.
  7. Additional complication: files in the install source are compressed, and their filename is altered (e.g. “.ex_” instead of “.exe”). So it is “Go figure”.
  8. Hm, I could have sworn this was the first thing I did here. Are downgrades being slipstreamed? I hope I did this now for the last time. Update: No, I did not…
