Outlook Calendar Scheduling Issues

So I was having some weird issues with our outlook calendar.

When someone would send out a meeting request and you tried to respond you would get the following error:

As the meeting organizer, you do not need to respond to the meeting

This was driving me nuts.
This calendar is stored on a public folder and I was searching everywhere for an answer.

I tried Outlook.EXE /freebusy and that seemed to work for certain people, but not everyone and eventually the error would come back to all.

The other strange thing was that you could respond with no problem via outlook web access or via blackberry/iphone.

I saw so many questions about this on the web, with no answers.

I think I finally figured it out and hope that a few people can benefit from this.

Turns out the calendar was corrupted. Sometimes by using blackberries and responding to meeting requests it can occasionally cause corruption on that public folder calendar.

So what was I to do? Create a new calendar of course.

I was able to make a back up of the older calendar by selecting it and going to file export and save it as a pst file.

I then created the new Folder, then imported the old pst so all the calendar appointments show up.

You will have to go to each users computer and add the new calendar in so they can see it from the regular calendar view.

You will also have to adjust permissions again as well. It seems when you import the old calendar all the stats of who created what are gone and only admin can change the existing appointments.

Well I hope this helps a few people out there.

Leave me a comment if it does or you run into more issues.

Good luck!

Insanity Workout Review – Shaun T Insanity Workout Reviews

About 7 years ago I picked up my first workout product from beach body. It was Tony Horton but that package has now been revamped as the P90x which is totally awesome as well. About 2 weeks into that program I was feeling great. I honestly felt like a teenager again. I was about 24 at the time when I started that. I am now 31 and the gym is becoming a mundane task and getting up at 6am to workout just hasn’t been happening lately.

Kanye West Has No Tact

O.K. so I haven’t watched the MTV video music awards in years! I am flipping through the channels and bamm I see people dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. I mean who can not watch the Thriller video or the song if it’s on Tv or the radio right? So I decide to watch a great little tribute to Michael Jackson at the VMA’s.

taylor

So I decide to watch a little more! This guy Russel Brand comes out as the host. I can’t quite remember where I know this guy from, then it hits me. He was that crappy actor in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. ah…

Then this guy proceeds to start talking about how he offended George Bush and saying how Barack Obama would be president. Then he says a bunch of other stuff about his pecker and tight pants. He then decides to talk about England where he is from and how they have free health care and people there aren’t dying in the streets. Gives the good ole USA a bit of a jab about that. “why did MTV hire this guy to host?” Um… last I checked people aren’t getting turned down at hospitals or dying in the streets. The issue here is “universal health insurance”! This guy should stick to what he knows ; Pecker jokes and extremely uncomfortable looking pants.

I am starting to remember why I don’t watch MTV anymore. Do they even show videos anymore?

Well here comes the real kicker! The award for best female video is up and Taylor Swift wins for her song ”You Belong With Me”. Now I am not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but this girl has got talent! She is 19 years old and she was up against big artists like Beyonce & Pink! So.. this 19 year old wins her first VMA award and can barely say a few words when Big mouth Kanye West has to get up and grab the mic and say how Beyonce’s video was the best!! Are your friggin kidding me? This guy is just a disgrace. Not only did he insult Taylor Swift, but the industry as a whole. Then MTV proceeds to just move onto the next skit and that was about when I turned off the TV.

I cannot wait to see what happens with this. In my opinion Kanye West should apologize to Taylor Swift and too all the people who were there and had to hear the garbage coming out of his mouth. It was nice to hear people booing him in the audience.

I am also curious to see if Beyonce says something. She did looked shocked at the situation and I would think she will congratulate Taylor swift later. Guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow and see what happens.
Who knows maybe he will apologize during his live performance. Dang actually I may have to turn it back on to see if he gets booed!!

Have some respect Kanye!

Which month of the year do you get the least web traffic.

Ok so August has been very slow for web traffic to a lot of my sites. This is typical as people are on vacation and generally outside more.
I was curious about how others web traffic rates and which month usually brings in the least web traffic.
I know niche has a lot to do with this as well, but I am curious to see what others have to say.

My Keyboard Needs A Bath

Ok can’t wait to hear the reaction to this one.

Got a crusty keyboard? There is nothing nastier then a keyboard with greasy keys, food particles stuck in it, or any other nasty things you can think of.

I remember back in my help desk days, I got a call from this lady. “My keyboard isn’t working right!!” Well… I found out the issue pretty quickly. I think it had to do with the food she ate hovering over it all day long constantly falling in the keyboard, not to mention hair and other things I could not explain.

Sorry for the rant so… if you are too cheap to go out and drop $20 on a new keyboard then there is a simple solution. Drop that puppy in the dishwasher!
I am serious. I have done this numerous times and they come out squeaky clean.
There are a few steps you need to follow below.

1. Run it in the dishwasher by itself. Quickest cycle it has!
2. If its wireless take the batteries out!!
3. If it has a cord coil it up nice so it doesn’t get caught in the spinny thingy “Tech Term Right There”
4. DO NOT RUN HEAT DRY
5. I don’t use soap, but I guess you could. “Dish Soap That Is”
6. Take it out as soon as cycle is over and dry off what you can and let air dry over night “24 hours is best”

“I assume no responsibility for broken dishwashers or keyboards hehe”

So what are you waiting for? It really works and your keyboard will be squeaky clean. Stop eating your sandwich over your keyboard right now and go run a china cycle on the old dishwasher.

If you do it, leave a comment below.

Oh and if you decide to put your laptop in the dishwasher then there is no hope for you anyway.

Good luck

Brute Force Linking Loophole Review

Have you ever heard of Brute Force SEO? Well if you haven’t then you are missing out on some awesome seo software tools. Originally I had been looking for an rss submission tool which let me to find Badass Rss which is a wonderful tool that will submit your rss feed to many of the top rss feed sites out there.
Hands down awesome and I still use it to this day.

So when I saw the new program Linking Loophole announced I knew I had to take a look at it. Basically Angela Edwards had created this monthly report called backlink builder which was pretty sweet. It is a list of high pr sites you can sign up too and get a pretty sweet backlink from. Now I have been using them here and there, but it was so time consuming. Even if you were to pay someone you would be spending $30-50 for each account you would set up. Step in my review of Brute Force Linking Loophole. Peter Drew has taken all the sites from Angela Edwards and automated the process! Yes automated!!

So I decided to sign up and I have to say this is just awesome! Peter will also be updating the software with new sites every month! So far I have used Linking Loophole for 2 sites just to give it a test ya know. The first site i had was sitting around for awhile and was on page 3 for a fairly non competitive keyword. I ran linking loophole on it and bam in just over a day I was on page 1 of google. How cool is that. Like I said this site was sitting around for awhile and I haven’t really touched it. The other site was brand new. I had the domain sitting for awhile so I said screw it lets test this linking loophole out. The site was indexed in google within 3 hours of running LLH and now I am giving it another week before I do anything else to it. I don’t want to abuse this. If used the right way this will work wonders.

The setup is real easy and there is a 5 day trial for $1. You install the software, it will then create an email account for you after you fill in your info. You create your accounts on all the high pr sites and then activate the accounts. After the accounts are activated you then will post to the site with the click of the button. Thats it! Bamm backlinks from high pr sites. You can also use some other tools to promote your profiles on these new sites. Its a win win. Ill try to post back soon with some updates as to how my 2 sites are doing. Off to submit some more hehe.

My App Builder Review

Well if you have read my blog before then you will know that I have an Iphone and that I love it!
I am currently running 3g, but got a chance to play with my uncles 3GS this weekend and I was pretty stoked about it! I really want the video feature bad! So cool! Anyway… Onto what this post is supposed to be about.

So typically when people get together and start messing with their iphones and showing their apps the same conversation comes up. All about the iphone apps. Man I should have though of that!! Wow I had that idea!! Dude that guy made that app and made $100,000 in a day! Insane!! So of course we started thinking of different app ideas and seeing if they were taken and of course many of them were, but… we eventually came up with something kinda cool. “I can’t mention it just yet, hehe”

Ok so we got the idea, but up comes the next hurdle. Who the heck knows how to build one of these?
Not me, nor anyone else I know. So now its like do you hire someone? Will they steal the idea? Who knows. This lead me to search for some software that can help build an iphone app.

Low and behold I find MY APP BUILDER First thing I see is that they want $29 a month for the service, but hey I mean if you have to hire someone it will be hundreds and you have the chance to make a mint if your app is hot! The cool thing is that they will let you create as many apps as you want for the $29 a month, but I suggest focusing on that first one!!

Ok so you can take ebooks, audio, and video and turn them into an app which is right up our alley cause this is sort of the thing we wanted to do with our app.

Is there a learning curve? Yes, but if you have an iphone then you can do this!!

All I can say is give it a shot.

Registry Easy 5.1 – Scam? Awesome? Read Below…


Aghhhh Help My Computer Is Running so slow….


Ok so I have a pretty nice laptop. Its a Gateway FX and it runs great most of the time.
I am constantly doing a million things at once, running 20 windows in firefox, photoshop is open, running a mail client handling 5 different email accounts, connect to my servers etc..

The last week or 2 it was having a few hiccups, taking awhile to boot, just freezing here and there. So began my journey for a real deal registry cleaning program. Registry Easy 5.1 kept popping up over and over as I did my research. I read some decent reviews so I said screw it. I decided to download it and register it for $34.95 plus it came with 3 licenses so I could put it on my laptop and my home computer and the wifey’s laptop if it works hehe. When it comes to my laptop running smooth and me not having the urge to launch it out the window $34 is nothing!

Ok so here goes my review of Registry Easy 5.1. By the way I’m running Vista Business 64 bit.

Download was easy and install went fine. Once you run it you will see the window below.

There are a lot of really nice options that this program offers, but for sake of time and simpleness I just went with the 1 Click Maintenance. Click the scan now Button, but just make sure that nothing else is running on your computer to get the most out of it. It may actually tell you to close certain programs if they are open.

Ok so its gonna do its thing and run the scan. I have 244gigs on my C drive and it took less then 5 minutes to scan.
Here is what I saw after the scan. Dang 1798 problems and 4037 items lol. I am constantly installing programs to test them out and uninstalling them, so there is always a little junk left behind. Registry Easy definitely found them.

You want to hit repair after this. It will ask you to make a backup of your registry. Do it!! If anything should go wrong you want a backup of the registry to fall back on. So this is a must.
If you haven’t registered the product you may see a window like this below. This means you haven’t paid up yet lol. Click ok to go and register the product if you haven’t already.

Ok so after it runs the repair which took less then 5 minutes as well you will see a window like below. You can scroll through and see all the junk it removed. Look below to read the rest of my review.

Ok so all in all I gotta say I was a bit skeptical. I have downloaded many programs before and they have either had spyware on them or just made the computer even slower. Registry Easy 5.1 was a breeze to install and the 1 Click maintenance made using it cake! My computer is running way smoother now. It really is amazing how just cleaning up a bit of junk can really get things moving again. I support a place with about 25 user PC’s and I am going to implement this on all of them next week. Those computers have 5 different users on them though out the day some I am curious to see how Registry Easy will get them running smoothly again.

Oh also as I had said earlier Registry Cleaner does a handful of other things too. There is an optimize your system section, system fix, even a feature to help with internet explorer. Try out the Tweak Memory in the Optimize System section its really great! Takes a second and my cpu usage and memory got cut too half!

Anyways if you have any questions or need help just leave a comment below and I will try to answer as soon as I can.

Iphone 3.0 Update – Errors? Awesomeness? Bit of Both?

OK so the new update came out and we are finally going to be able to cut and paste lol. Woo hoo!

OK so here goes it. I hooked up my iphone and started downloading the 3.0 update. It started to install, then went to restart. I heard 2 beeps then looked at the iphone and it told me to connect to itunes.

I believe this is for the activation. Anyways while hooked up to Itunes I keep getting this error
“We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request”


Arghh I just want to cut and paste and use the new keyboard! ha!

So after doing this numerous times and getting the same error, I decided to just click on Itunes Store and see if it would connect that way. Bamm it connected and instantly said Iphone Activated on the phone itself. So I dunno, very strange, but it works.

I’ve been on it about 5 minutes and the copy and paste feature def rocks!! Wide keyboard is also very sweet! Ugh as I type this!! Why are all my contacts gone!! lol Oh boy.

I see the voice memo button and the search. Preaty neat! Ah my contacts are back woo hoo lol.

Well I will mess around more and see what else I can break. Will keep you posted. If you have any issues or figure anything out please leave a comment below.

Good luck, im off to copy and paste!!!
