Walking in Hawaii - A Video NFT


This is a short clip that I made on my GoPro while walking through the water at Machida beach on the big island of Hawaii on November 8th, 2021.

In the beginning, you can hear a lady asking me something from far away - She was wondering what I was wearing on my head (I originally had the GoPro strapped to my head) and asked if it was a flashlight.

A little girl says "Hi".

I gaze in wonder at the beauty of my surroundings.

Fixing Dynamics GP Web Services

Image
I'm not completely certain how our GP 10 server got to be in this state, but apparently the Web Services component was never really working properly. Of course, we didn't find out that this was the case until after I had cloned our live server so that we would have a second (identical) machine that our developers could use to test integration with our order management system... one of the developers finally went to use it and told me that the Web Services Exceptions Console was giving an error... specifically, when you drilled down in the console view: "Cannot access the exception service. Verify that the configuration file exists and contains the correct path to the exception service." Not being an expert on the inner-workings on GP Web Services, I did the first thing that most anyone would do and searched for the error on Google for answers. I found a good number of forums where people had posted the same error and received a number of different responses, b

Why I support Bernie Sanders

I was recently asked outright why it is that I support Senator Bernie Sanders for President.  My initial response was something like, "It's complicated.  I'll write a 10,000 word essay on my blog and then post a link".  So I went off and wrote a few detailed paragraphs about anti-corporatism and the Green New Deal and blah blah blah... after working on it for an hour or so, I realized that it didn't explain all of the different facets enough and that I'd have to come back to finish it later. A week or so went by.  During that time, my wife and I won tickets to go see Hamilton (the musical, for those of you who have been living under rocks) in San Francisco and decided to drop everything to go.  Somewhere near Oakland on the drive up there on Tuesday, we went under an overpass where someone had posted a homemade sign which simply read: "Bernie: People over Profit".  I saw this and thought, "Yeah, that about sums it up... I'm gonna totally s

Issues with FRx

At this point, I'm basically keeping this blog for my own notes. Last Friday, Finance ran into an issue with Microsoft FRx which basically prevented them from doing anything.  When attempting to login to Report Designer, they would see the message "OFSI Server is not Available". As it turns out, the source of the problem was the fact that, when you went into Company --> Information and looked at any of the companies, the only thing available under "Accounting System" was "FRx Demo General "Ledger". Although I wasn't completely sure how this happened, it seems that a setting in the FRx\SysData\ActSys32.mdb file was changed.  The line for "Great Plains - SQL Server\MSDE" was disabled and needed to be re-enabled.  Once that was saved, I was able to change the settings back to what they should have been in the Companies and have everything work properly.
