Support Movember

Hi All,

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer. I will be taking progress photos as I go and keep you all inform how I’m going.

What can you do?  I ask all who would like to support the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer to donate on the link below and to forward to all you know so they too can support me.

To donate to my Mo you can either:

Click this link https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1702786&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 1702786 and mailing it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue – the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know:

Depression affects 1 in 6 men….most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.  Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer – equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually. 

Thanks for your support Igor!

Entourage 2004/2008 and DST issue with Meeting requests 1 hour out

When Entourage 2004 & 2008 users organise meetings by inviting other users who are using Microsoft Outlook or OWA (Outlook Web Access) against their Exchange mailboxes (version of Exchange Server does not matter here), then those meeting attendees may see the incoming meeting invite being an hour off. This issue is not seen if all meeting attendees are Entourage users.

This happens as Entourage 2004 & 2008 use DST information from related ‘Timezones’ files for users in ANZ time zones, which are not up to date with current information.

Dreamweaver/MySQL db connection problem

I’ve recently came across the old problem with Dreamweaver to MySQL DB connection with ‘Access denied for user ‘…@’localhost’ (using password: YES)’.  From past experience I knew the Dreamweaver MX2004 and MySQL 4.1 had a problem with authentication protocol based on a password hashing algorithm that is incompatible with that used by older clients and software such as Dreamweaver MX 2004. However I would never expect the same with Dreamweaver CS3 and MySQL 5. 

To solve this problem, you should reset the password to pre-4.1 style This can be done using the SET PASSWORD statement and the OLD_PASSWORD() function: (enter this code through the MySQL command line client. 

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR-> ’some_user’@’some_host’ = OLD_PASSWORD(‘newpwd’);
