A colleague sent me an attachment today, a MindManager map file. MindManager is a tool that has become popular recently; it’s a program that allows you to build mindmaps. A lot of people here like it. I’m not intending to plug the program here, I use Notepad to make my mindmaps and it works well [...]

Using Junctions to Host IIS Ftp Home Folders
So, the problem I faced was that I was trying to set up the IIS ftp service to handle multiple users. However, in its User Isolation mode and with using Local users, the IIS expects the folders to be named “LocalUser\username” within the ftp-root. It’s not difficult to set that up, if you have a [...]

A Brief History of Cacls
In the beginning was cacls.exe. This little command-line utility could edit access control lists in the NT filesystem. It was deemed by some to be inefficient and underpowered. So when Windows Server 2003 came along (and Vista, mind you), Microsoft shipped an updated version called icacls.exe which was more competent in some areas, and less [...]

I Skärhamn, i Skärhamn
Jag bor vid havet, där vågors svall Sköljer mot stranden till måsars kall Där havsvinden blåser frisk och stark Över klippor, ljung och mark – I Skärhamn, i Skärhamn På vackra Tjörn.
