Install EOS software upgrades without CD (32 bit systems)

2009-09-06T13:02:00.001+02:00

I recently posted a recipe for how to install EOS software upgrades without the CD on 64 bit systems. For completeness sake, I will also post the recipe for 32 bit systems. Please note that I haven’t tested this. I would therefore appreciate if you could use the comment feature and let me know whether this works or not.

Paste the following into notepad and save as canon.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\DPP]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Settings]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Install]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\PhotoStitch
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOSViewerUtility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ODSK]

Then right click the file and select Merge. You should now be able top install the upgrades on a clean system.

PhotoRescue v3.1: Recommended tool for rescuing Canon RAW files

2009-08-30T14:32:00.002+02:00

I recently managed to delete a folder of very important photos before they were backed up (to Mozy). Believing that the contents was backed up I formatted the card (high-level, camera format) and put it in my camera bag for use. When I discovered the disaster there was no way of undeleting or rescuing the files off the hard drive. In despair I tried rescuing them off the formatted card (which had luckily not been used).

In summary, using PhotoRescue Wizard 3.1 from DataRescue, I managed to rescue all the files (Canon EOS 450D CR2 RAW format) perfectly. The program let’s you test if it can recover before you pay (29 USD) and is highly recommended.

I also got to test support since my card transaction was slow and they helped me swiftly. One tip though. DataRescue let’s you choose between two e-commerce providers. My anecdotal evidence suggests you should use Kagi.

Install EOS software upgrades without CD (64 bit systems)

Edit: For 32 bit systems, please go here. If you don’t know what system type you have, please refer to this page.

Note: I own an EOS camera and possess the CD. This is only an easier and cleaner way to install the software after an OS reinstall.

Paste the following into notepad and save as canon.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\EOS Utility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\DPP]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\EOSViewerUtility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\ODSK]

Then right click the file and select Merge. You should now be able top install the upgrades on a clean system.

Successful migration from Wordpress to Blogger and Google Apps

2009-04-19T18:15:00.002+02:00

Introduction

The following path outlines my successful migration from a custom hosted wordpress blog (not on wordpress.com) to a blog on Blogger and E-mail on Google Apps.

The reason to do this migration was that my old hosting was slow and unreliable, and I wanted a maintenance free and cheap hosting solution for both blog and e-mail. Google’s solutions were chosen over e.g. corresponding Microsoft Live products, mostly due to the excellent webmail interface Gmail offers.

The examples below use akselvoll.net, this domain, as example.

Starting point

Domain (akselvoll.net) registered with Godaddy.com
- Generally satisfied
E-mail and webhosting with dream-hosting.co.uk
- Extremely cheap (9,99 GPB / year) but very unreliable (downtime several times per week)
- cPanel based hosting (11.24.4-RELEASE) – very flexible but mostly untouched
- Wordpress (2.7.1)
- Approximately ten e-mail forwards (no hosted e-mail)

Goal

In general, keep current domain registrar and move all other hosting to managed services (SaaS) to minimize configuration and management time, while at the same time increasing security and availability.

All content should be migrated to the new platform (although new URLs for blog entries was expected).

Chosen applications:

Godaddy as domain registrar and for DNS
Blogger for weblog hosting
Google Apps for mail forwarding and optionally (on a user to user basis) as primary mail account.

Step 1: DNS migration

DNS is probably set to a server controlled by the old web host. First step is to enter Godaddy Domain Manager and choose “Hosting nameservers”. Shortly thereafter (a couple of minutes) “Total DNS Control and MX Records” will be available. Enter the following settings to temporarily replicate the old hosting:

Record type	Host	To	TTL	Comments
A	@	<OLD ID>	1/2 hour	Root of domain (akselvoll.net) to old hosting
CNAME	www	akselvoll.net	1/ 2 hour	Pointing www.akselvoll.net to akselvoll.net
MX (priority 0)	@	akselvoll.net	1/2 hour	Sending mail to old hosting

All other default Godaddy entries should be deleted.

Note that now the DNS server had been switched. The only downtime would be for clients running NSLookup in the timespan from changing DNS servers until the servers are properly configured.

Also note that all TTL’s are set to the minimum value (1/2 hour) to be able to switch over to the new services later as quickly as possible, minimizing DNS propagation time.

Step 2: Blog migration

Create a new blog on Blogger, using default settings for most choices. Then migrate contents from the Wordpress blog using the tool blogsync-java. A couple of tips and remarks regarding this process:

The complete JDK from Sun seems to be necessary to run this tool.
Edit the run.bat file of blogsync to reflect your jdk installation path (the second to last line?)
Important: Settings are not properly saved in blogsync. Enter your wordpress and blogger logins, press save and then exit and reopen the application, before you try to run it.
Blogger seems to limit the number of items you can create automatically per day. In my case I hit this limit when three posts remained, and I simply migrated those (copy/paste) manually.
Wordpress hosted images are not properly migrated. You need to download those and upload to blogger and fix your posts manually.
Comments are not migrated.

Step 3: Taking the new blog live

I took the blog live before Google Apps, because several posts on the internet indicated that the opposite would not work. Most of those posts were rather old, though, so I don’t know if this is still an issue.

When the blog is more or less ready, set it up to be reached through the domain url. This is done by following the instructions in the Publishing settings in Blogger. Important: To work correctly with Godaddy DNS, set up www.akselvoll.net as the publishing URL, not akselvoll.net. This redirect will be set up later. The reason for this is that if you set up a CNAME for the root of your domain in Godaddy (and possibly other DNS servers), this will also redirect your MX lookups, and thus disable your email.

The resulting DNS setting in Godaddy are as follows:

Record type	Host	To	TTL
CNAME	www	ghs.google.com	1/2 hour

Note that a short TTL is used on all DNS settings until the setup is testing and working, to limit the duration of any errors (and yes, I had some, not documented here :)).

The blog is now live on the url www.akselvoll.net. Next step is to set it up to respond on akselvoll.net as well.

Step 4: Setting up redirection from root of domain

To set up proper redirection from akselvoll.net to www.akselvoll.net, Godaddy’s own mechanism is used, to circumvent the above mentioned CNAME / MX problem.

Instructions, as obtained through tech support, are as follows. Set up an A record from the root of your domain to Godaddy’s forwarder IP, “64.202.189.170”. Then use the “Forwarding” options available in the Domain Manager, and forward to http://www.akselvoll.net [Edit: Do not include a trailing slash (/) in the forward URL as this may give you double slashes and HTTP 400 Bad Request errors.] I chose to use “301 Moved Permanently” for desired search engine indexing, convinced by this page.

The DNS setting is as follows:

Record type	Host	To	TTL
A	@	64.202.189.170	1/2 hour

Step 5: Testing before mail migration

Now is a good time to test that your blog is live on www.akselvoll.net and akselvoll.net. You should also test that e-mail is still delivered to the old account.

If you have problem accessing through the new URL, this may be due to DNS propagation. I recommend using http://www.network-tools.com/ for checking the DNS records, and http://www.hidemyass.com/ for accessing your site easily through a proxy.

Step 6: Signing up for Google Apps

Sign up for Google Apps Standard Edition here. Follow the instructions for setting up the domain and e-mail, but choose to set up domain later when asked. The reason for this is that you want to configure any e-mail redirections before you start receiving mail.

When your Google Apps account is working, configure an email account for each user that needs either a mail account or forwarding. Note, though, that you can create several aliases per user, in case you want to forward several addresses to the same destination. (There is no forwarding without an account.)

To set up forwarding, log on to each of the accounts, enter Settings –> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Enable the forward option, enter the email address to forward to and choose whether you want to leave forwarded mail on the current account or not.

Step 7: Start receiving email on Google Apps

Enter e-mail settings in your Google Apps account, and select the option for activating e-mail. This should be fairly straight forward, and your DNS settings should be similar to the ones shown below:

Record type	Host	To	TTL
MX (priority 10)	@	aspmx.l.google.com.	1/2 hour
MX (priority 20)	@	alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.	1/2 hour
MX (priority 30)	@	alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.	1/2 hour
MX (priority 40)	@	aspmx2.googlemail.com.	1/2 hour
MX (priority 50)	@	aspmx3.googlemail.com.	1/2 hour

I’m unsure to whether the trailing dots are necessary, but this is how Google instructs and it is working. Also note that I still choose to set TTL to 1/2 hour, in case anything is incorrect.

Step 8: Test email

You should now test that email is properly received / forwarded on Google Apps. It is also wise to double check your blog (with and without www) at this time.

Step 9: Increase TTL on DNS records

If you now feel sure that email and blog is correctly set up, you should increase the TTL on all DNS records, to improve caching and performance. I recommend setting all records to 1 Day or 1 Week. If you later plan to do any changes, this is the maximum time that your DNS records will be kept in any cache. Prior to doing any later changes, you should reduce them all to 1/2 hour again, and then wait for a few days, to be able to move quickly.

Step 10: Set up and an SPF record

To ensure that your outgoing Google Apps mail is not marked as spam, you should set up an SPF record. Google Apps provide instructions for this; in short you should set up the following SPF record: “v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all”.

To do this in Godaddy total DNS is easy yet not intuitive.

Click “Add new SPF record” in the total DNS control.
Choose “an ISP or other mail provider” and click OK.
Click the tab “Outsourced” and enter "aspmx.googlemail.com” in the textbox. Leave “Exclude all hosts not specified here ( -all )” unchecked and click OK.

This should give you a DNS record as shown below:

Record type	Host	To	TTL
TXT	@	v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all	1 Day

To test your SPF record, the easiest way is to send an email to check-auth@verifier.port25.com. You should shortly after receive an authorization report to your email, hopefully with SPF: pass. If this does not work, Google for other ways to test SPF.

Step 11: Migrate mail

If you plan on using mail accounts on your domain (not just forwarding), you should look into Settings –> Accounts on your mail account. To migrate from Gmail the procedure is as follows:

Enter your (old) Gmail account, select Settings –> Forwarding and POP/IMAP and enable POP for all mail.
Enter your (new) Google Apps account, select Settings –> Accounts and click “Add a mail account you own”.
Enter your Gmail address, and accept all default values. Enter your password and click ok.
Respond to whether you want to be able to send outgoing mail from that address and, if so, follow the instructions.

The whole migrate process can take a couple of days. When this is done, I recommend disabling the account in your Google Apps, and simply set up forwarding from the Gmail account.

Conclusion

You should now have moved your mail and blog to free Google services, hopefully without much downtime. If you have any questions, please comment to this article or mail me (if you can guess my address :)).

Incredible incompetency

2009-03-16T20:02:00.000+01:00

[Disclaimer: This article is only based on information available through the Norwegian media (thus the links in Norwegian). It’s accuracy is limited to their accuracy combined with my personal understanding of the matter.]

Thursday the 12th of March, more than 1000 computers belonging to the Norwegian police were infected by the computer virus Conficker.

Stop and think! Self-updating, remote controllable, known to be malicious code running on the police’s computers. Maybe they were all innocent workstations with no important information?

I’m afraid not. According to reports, the systems for daily operations of the police departments were unavailable. Passports could not be emitted. Border controls could not check visitors passports against their registries. The unavailability of these services is probably bad, but this also means that this malicious code running on their computers had open access to information about criminal cases, filings, citizen databases, etc.

So, how did this happen?

The Conficker worm spreads through a buffer overflow error in most versions of the Windows operating system. This error was fixed in a critical patch released by Microsoft the 23rd of October 2008.

Why didn’t the police install this patch on their computers? They host their system on Windows NT 4.0. This is an operating system released by Microsoft in 1996 that had it’s last available support agreement terminated in 2004. By the end of that year, Microsoft stopped fixing known security vulnerabilities in the OS, and stopped testing it against new vulnerabilities.

Running NT 4.0 in 2009 is stupid. Using it for hosting operational systems with extremely confidential data and high availability demands is neglect.

So, how did they handle this crisis? Did they shut down all systems with suspected infection and wiped their hard drives with a fresh image that had gotten the vulnerable services secured?

According to the press, the virus continued spreading today and has made systems respond slowly. Espen Strai from Politiets data- og materielltjeneste (PDMT) [The police service for data and equipment] has explained that “the challenge is to shut down the infected PC’s and run antivirus programs while the system is still running”.

You cannot trust a computer once it has executed malware. The only option to clean it reliably is to wipe the drive and install an image that is known to be clean.

I don’t know the complete picture behind this story, nor have I read all of the vast information available in the press. But it is clear that this is a serious case of neglect and I personally hope that criminal charges will be filed against the ones responsible for keeping alive this fundamentally insecure and antiquated system.

How to integrate Spotify into Last.fm

2009-03-05T22:14:00.000+01:00

Trick to get direct links to Spotify searches from the Last.fm web page (very useful for e.g. your personal recommendations):

Install Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Install this script: http://emil.hesslow.se/spotify/spotify__lastfm.user.js

Note the little green notes you now get next to artists, albums etc.

Make Spotify work with Logitech SetPoint

2009-03-04T18:53:00.000+01:00

If you use a Logitech keyboard with media keys (such as my Logitech Elite Media Keyboard), you might need to do some tweaking to make the media keys work with Spotify (play, pause, stop, skip). This tweak assumes that you use the latest version of Logitech SetPoint (currently v 4.70) in either Vista or 7 beta.

You will probably notice that media keys work well when the Spotify window has focus, while they work unreliably (may pause but not play again) when the window is either minimized or behind other windows.

The procedure to fix this is as follows:

Close Logitech SetPoint by right-clicking the icon in the system tray.
Open notepad as administrator (right click –> Run as administrator).
In notepad, open the file "C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPoint\players.ini".
At the end of the section [Players], add the following line:
spotify=wac,spotify.exe,SpotifyMainWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,Spotify
Save the file. (If this fails or the Save As dialog pops up, this is probably because you didn’t run notepad as admin. Since this is inside the Program Files directory, you need to be admin to edit.)
Launch SetPoint again (or restart the system) and verify that the media keys now work better.

PS. To do the same for foobar2000 v0.9.6.2, the line to add is as follows:
foobar2000=wac,foobar2000.exe,{97E27FAA-C0B3-4b8e-A693-ED7881E99FC1},xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,Foobar2000

Obviously it would have been better with a smaller aperture and lower ISO, but tripod was not an option at that moment (since the ferry was about to arrive).

N95 8GB audio drop outs - fixed by firmware

2009-02-25T21:56:00.000+01:00

I was about to return my year old Nokia N95 8GB for repair because audio kept dropping out when using in handset mode (not in loudspeaker nor handsfree). I had tried to undelete most software, but was really convinced that this was a hardware problem.

However, a couple of days ago I updated the phone's firmware to version V31.0.015 and guess what; the sound is working again.

I still think it's a crappy phone. Go figure.

Málaga, capital of culture?

2008-05-23T20:12:00.000+02:00

As most people in Málaga probably have noticed, there is a large publicitary campaign to have Málaga named European Capital of Culture in 2016.

I strongly oppose that candidacy.

Not that Málaga is not a nice place. I love living in this city, but culture is not the first thing you think of when speaking about in Málaga. What important museums do we have? Important monuments? What about music? And arts? Where is the live scene of young artists performing their arts?

The truth is that Málaga has a very limited cultural offer compared to other Spanish cities. If you compare to e.g. Granada, Córdoba, Madrid, Bilbao, Sevilla, San Sebastián, Valencia, Barcelona, etc, is Málaga worth the title as Capital of Culture?

In my opinion the current political and cultural leaders in Málaga are bad for culture. A couple of examples from the musical scene (the one closest to my heart):

Malaga used to have a wonderful music festival called Etnimalaga. It was celebrated over a summer weekend on the beach with ethnical music from all over the world. It used to be crowded. Suddenly, a couple of years ago, the festival was abandoned.

The jazz scene, while not big, has been improving the last few years. A yearly jazz festival has attracted names such as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Bobby McFerrin and more. It has been attended partly by the local population and partly by North-Europeans coming in from the nearby costal cities. This year they are celebrating another festival (Terral) with great artists like Diana Krall, Herbie Hancock, Lou Reed and more. The problem though, is that prices has more than doubled compared to what has been normal. To get a decent ticket for Krall or Reed, you need to pay 100 €. That's about 10 % of the mean monthly net salary in Málaga, or about what 2-3 times what a 3 course dinner with wine might cost you in a decent restaurant. I have a feeling that this year, Herbie will be able to speak all he wants in English; since the audience will consist of 60 year old Englishmen coming in from Marbella.

Maybe Málaga's culture was at a high level when the Arabs still ruled the area. There is no doubt that Pablo Picasso was one of the most important painters of the previous decade. And I don't doubt that there are a lot of Malagueños (including Moroccans, Finnish and Senegalese) that make wonderful music or paintings or whatever.

But don't visit Málaga for it's culture. Not in 2008, and I have no reason to believe that things will be different in 2016.

PS. I do recommend the concert with the American singer Madeleine Peyroux, the 8th of July in Teatro Cervantes (40 € for good tickets). Hear her version of "Dance me to the end of love" below. [REMOVED]

Vista search doesn't work after moving database

2008-04-22T13:47:00.000+02:00

If you ever move the Windows Vista Search Index database (Control Panel -> Indexing Option -> Advanced -> Index Location), there is a risk that you end up breaking the search if you e.g. delete the location you moved it to or mess up file permissions.

If you see any of the following symptoms, this post may have the solution:

The Indexing Option window is all greyed out, telling you that "Indexing is not running
The service Windows Search is stopped and if you try to start it you get the following error message: "Windows could not start the Windows Search on Local Computer. For more
information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft
service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error
code -2147218141"
In the event log applications you get the following error message: "The Windows Search Service has failed to created the new system catalog. Internal error <1,0x80070003>."

If this is the case, try the solution I have quoted below:

Re: Vista Indexer - MSDN Forums
Can you check under %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Config and see if gathrprm.txt and schema.txt exists? Did you move your default index location? If you don't see these two files, grab them from another vista machine or send me an email for the files.

If you don't have these files, you can get mine here. (Unzip the file to your system root, i.e. usually C:\.)

8 reasons not to buy the Nokia N95 8GB

2008-03-22T20:01:00.000+01:00

Nokia N95 8GB has everything, yet fails on just about every function. Here are some of the reasons why you should not buy this phone:

It is too big

The internal memory while big is awfully slow. It will take you at least 30 minutes to transfer 1GB.

The camera has 5 MP, but is too slow. Do not expect to use it for taking portraits. It is mostly useful for shooting landscapes on sunny days.

The included music player is bad. It has no "shuffle all" function. Volume is at times to low. Sometimes the phone beeps for no aparant reason or fades volume down and back up when you listen to music.

GPS is awfully slow and if you want the navigation option it just got very expensive. Spain for 1 year costs 60-70 €. No 3 year option anymore. Do not trust the price quotes you see on the Nokia web pages. This is not what you will get on your phone (confirmed with customer service)

The Symbian S60 platform is locked down for freeware. Nokia brags about it being an open platform, but you won't find much software worth installing

The phone's Wifi has some strange drop out issues

The podcast application, while able to download over Wifi, is crap. It does not remember the last position you listened to. It is only half-way integrated with the music player (using different concepts of new/played). It does not clean up old downloads.

Conclusion: Tech savvy will learn to tolerate it. Non savvy will never use half the functions. But noone will really like it.
