“e000820e Library Error Invalid Request”

or

Final error: 0xe000820e - Library error - invalid request

This was a fun problem this morning that greated me upon trying to get last nights backup tape …

What it would turn out to be is that the “mail slot” on our tape library was open, in error seemingly this had opened prior to moving the tape into position.

Closing the mail slot resolved the issue, however clearing the “Attention” status is proving to be a pain

The wirehub.net domain has not been renewed meaning the registra has taken over the DNS and it is now pointed at a “placeholder” page running adverts … meaning for anyone who was using the wirehub RBL, the lookups are now returning false positives and blocking everything. This is the 2nd open RBL to go down, with ORDB going offline previously

Follow the post I put here to get the Wirehub list removed on exchange 2003

Want iPhone style functionality on your n95?

Well one thing that didn’t make it into the tech spec sheets is the fact the n95 has an accelerometer!

This app RotateMe allows you to rotate the screen by rotating your phone (removing the need to use the media slide).

Then there’s ShutUp! place the phone face down to activate one profile (i.e. silent) and pick it up again to activate another.

And NokMote a project by the same developer to bring wii-mote style control to your n95.

For the starwars fan (geek): LightSabre need I say more?

Inclinometer is aimed at offroaders, by putting your n95 on your dashboard and running this app it will tell you the current angle of the car.

The downside is some of these apps require them to be “signed” against the IMEI of your phone … I will update as I find how to do this easily.

Well the XML rendering API has been giving me no end of head ache during the development … the end is in sight however.

Acies is moving along nicely, I am debating the use of globals over extended classes.

At this moment all objects are callable using the $this->CLASS->method(); this is fine in the current model of parent executing child, this does make accessing the parent objects from the child classes, much more difficult, however I want to avoid the use of many “Global” declarations …

*sigh* … Well as I strive to get this framework done no doubt there will be much more “hairpulling” …

Name and shame time!

Remember this blog here?

Well it seems our “friend” at ebay has had 458 negative feedback this month alone, infact just google fastmemoryman.

Ebay’s reply came back as they can basically do nothing … beware this seller and avoid at all costs.
