I don’t want to get a new webhost, but that seems to be what I’ll need to do if I want to use Sweetcron (or anything else) effectively. The fact that outbound connections are blocked by the firewall of my webhost unless I specifically request them to be allowed is bothersome, as it doesn’t allow for quick changes or tests or the addition of new things. So it goes. One of these days I’ll deal with it, but I assumed that trying to change webhosts over Labor Day weekend wasn’t going to work out well for me.
I’m tempted to get a new domain name, I’m just not sure what. I can almost guess what one suggestion might be, and yes, it appears to be available, but no, I don’t feel like I will able to look someone in the face and tell them my website.

So, I have the day off to celebrate the wife’s 30th birthday, and with having Monday off as well, I’m probably going to play around with the 1.07 beta release of sweetcron on a subdomain. If I’m impressed with it, I’ll probably be working on converting everything over and/or getting mad at my webhost (I’m hoping none of the neat things about sweetcron are blocked, but it’s possible).
The one issue I see is that I’ll need to click the button on my webhost control panel to go from php4 to php5, and I’m not sure what, if anything, that will break with the current version of WP I have running. There appears to be a work around for using sweetcron on php4, but I’ll have to wait and see.

The current issue I have is: fsockopen error: Permission denied
That’s what I get when I try to add a feed, meaning it is being blocked by by host’s firewall, which requires a trouble ticket for each and every feed I want to set up.
Ugh. It might be time to look for a new webhost.

It’s a term that was explained at ResNet by George, and some of us found it amusing. I couldn’t let Jim be the only one to blog a post solely about winkyboodle.

I’ve been waiting to hear some information regarding the release of Sweetcron, and it looks like it’ll released on 8/28/08. Just as well, as by then I should have most issues from move in resolved. Once it is released, I’ll be able to see how much work it would take to migrate over to it; I like the look and feel yongfook.com.

You can read about what I did or you can just click here to go to the steps you need to take.
After using my bluetooth keyboard with my laptop while on vacation, I returned to the apartment and attempted to use it on the desktop. For whatever reason, it stopped working. It wasn’t the batteries, as I could connect and type the passkey, but it would lose the connection almost immediately. The keyboard also connected to the laptop computer just fine. One resolution to this issue was to make sure that the check box for “Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)” was selected in the bluetooth properties for the keyboard. It wasn’t, but when I tried to check it an hit apply, I got a Bluetooth Service Error “Access is denied” messageI made sure the Bluetooth Support Service was running by checking services.msc, and it was supposedly was running just fine. After reading this thread, I checked the Log On tab for the service, and found that it was running as This account:NT AUTHORITY\LocalService. Once I stopped the service, changed it to Local System account, I was able to select the driver service listed above and my keyboard was able to type.
Sure, this means I cannot go get a Logitech G15 keyboard, but that’s just as well. What really gets me is that there is no reason I could think of as to why that service would (1) no longer work the way it was or (2) when it would have changed to log on differently. I used the keyboard on the desktop up until we left.
Edit 8/31/08: Paul lists the ordered list of what needs to be done, and I’ll move it up here so that those trying to get the issue resolved can find the info. While Paul does list how I did got to Services, some might be wondering what do you do when the keyboard doesn’t work, as is the case here. There are two methods, listed in step 1:
- Open Services:
- To still type things out, start the on-screen keyboard by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On-Screen Keyboard. From there, you can then do Start > Run and then type services.msc
- To directly access Services, do Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
- Find & select the Bluetooth Support Service, right click and select Properties.
- Click the Stop button on the General tab.
- Select the Log On tab, and select the radio button next to Local System account, then click Apply.
- Go back to the General tab and click the Start button.
- Click OK to close the Properties dialog.
- Restart computer to make sure the change takes and things work.
