Chocolate and Peanut Butter »

I've always been a fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Though for some reason, I don't like Reese's Pieces all that much. I can't explain it. In any case, the company recently introduced a "Chocolate Lovers" and a "Peanut Butter Lovers" edition of their classic peanut butter cups.

I didn't compare them directly, by measuing them or anything, but the "Chocolate Lovers" version seems to be quite similar, perhaps even identical, to the regular version. The "Peanut Butter Lovers", however, includes only a chocolate bottom - the top covering of the "cup" is a creamy peanut butter. It's not bad, but I think I like the complete chocolate "wrapper" around the peanut butter.

Incidentally, I think my favorite from them is actually the Fast Break bar - those things are great for a snack, and Wal-Mart has them for $0.44, so they don't cost a lot either. Great for a bite on the run when you just need something to tide you over.

Trend Micro Web Console Problems »

Ran into a problem today where a customer was receiving an odd message when they tried to login to the Trend Micro web console for OfficeScan: Your OfficeScan session has timed out. Please log in again. This message in Google didn't turn up much. Rather, it didn't turn up much in English. There were a handful of results in other languages, none of which would translate particularly well.

Luckily, I decided to venture onto the second page of the search results, where I found this page. Turns out that the IUSR user needed full control of the "Temp" folder under "pccsrv". Updated the permissions and it worked like a champ.

What I really didn't get is why the heck the Trend knowledge base articles aren't shared across languages. Those other sites were from Trend in different countries, and it was obviously pulling information from the knowledge base. Would have been great if, when I changed the domain name from one of those countries back to the US domain, if it just pulled the article and automatically translated it for me.

Movable Type 3.16 »

Movable Type 3.16 has been released! The upgrade was rather painless - most of the difficulty lies, as it always does, in making sure that I get the plugins in the old install into the new one (I typically install into a new directory rather than try and update an old one). Thus far, looks like it's going okay. Please let me know if not.
