At 9:30am this morning:
In continuing to try to troubleshoot my server problems I look into the Add/Remove programs to confirm that I do NOT have .Net 2.0 installed on a Windows2000 server. I notice a program called Ward170-I386 but can find no information on this program. Do I uninstall it? What if I put it there out of need and have since forgotten.
Update: Thanks to bananachunks for reminding me that it is an OLD version of War-Ftpd (an excellent FTP server!).
On trying to start the cfmx (6.1) service I get the following message:
Windows could not start the ColdFusion MX Server 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 1.
The event log shows (for Application):
The ColdFusion MX Application Server service could not be started. Check that server “default” exists. Check the server “default” log files for more information.
And for MX 7:
The ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server service could not be started within 240 seconds. Increase the server startup timeout value using C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jrunsvc.exe -starttimeout <seconds> "ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server".
I wonder if this is related:
Source:WinMgmt Warning! "WMI ADAP was unable to process the PerfDisk performance library due to a time violation in the open function."
The event viewer shows nothing interesting for DNS Server, IExplore, or Security. System however shows a warning for source Browser:
The browser was unable to retrieve a list of servers fromthe browser master \\ROCKWELL on the network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{31C49F54-B9A1-4536-85E6-FCCF5D042F85}. The data is the error code. "Data: bytes: 0000: 35 00 00 00 5…"
That’s interesting because Rockwell is my development machine and should not be master of anything. Other server event warnings/errors:
Error: Source: Service Control Manager: The RMServer service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds. No action.
Error: Source: Service Control Manager: The RMServer service hung on starting.
Error: Source: Service Control Manager: The ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server service terminated with service-specific error 2.

Ok! What’s that?! \\FREUD is my wife’s computer and has no more business being a browser master than \\ROCKWELL. We were also fast asleep at that time.
A Christmas or two ago I wanted to buy some Kiss & Bajs (that’s Swedish for Pee & Poo) as a gift for someone but they didn’t ship overseas. I even looked into having a friend from Europe buy some and send it to me. This crappy market seems to be growing and as consumers we are gaining choices in how to gift someone with excrement. I have yet to find a website that offers to deliver a flaming paper to someone’s doorstep.
Yesterday I hit the ground running at 2:30am and was taking names! Somewhere around 7am I had a problem with my server and productivity ground to a halt. I spent the entire day working the issue and still don’t have it working. My server is a development server accessible only to me and sports ColdFusion 4.5 and ColdFusion MX 6.1. It now also has ColdFusion 7 installed. CF 4.5 works fine. CFMX 6.1 and 7 both refuse to start as a service. The timing on this issue couldn’t be worse.

Update: I did receive an error message:
Could not start the ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server service on local computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

What’s it like working for yourself? I’m running in on the homestretch of a very important project. I’m not as far along as I had hoped and suddenly the server needs an update that is critical to the completion of the project. But alas! The update caused the server to quit working. So breaking my incredible run is server troubleshooting. Of course, I can overcome this challenge but at times like this it sure would be nice to have a support staff to fall back on. The sales rep could be explaining the delay to the customer. The IT team could be fixing the server. The development team could be brainstorming in a think tank to work around the issue. HR could be cutting me a paycheck regardless of the delay. Ah, greener grass!
The Hanso Foundation website has been updated: "Electromagnetic Research investigations in progress"
While we know a great deal, there is still much to learn about this fundamental force. Such investigations are the domain of The Hanso Foundation Electromagnetic Research Initiative.
Since it is hurricane season, an animated reminder of what to expect from the different categories of storms. We hear a lot of talk about global warming causing increased storm intensity. I grew up being told that storm seasons come in 20 year patterns. We just recently came out of a calm 20 years and are now seeing the types of storms to expect for the next twenty years. This chart shows quantity not intesity so it doesn’t really support or dispute that claim.
The risks no longer outweight the rewards. Risk required. Thanks for the reminder.
The Hanso Foundation has been updated. "Mental Health Appeal || a drive for a better future"
The Hanso Foundation’s Mental Health Appeal is a world-spanning system of clinics seeking revolutionary new treatments. It is nothing short of a crusade to rid us all of the spectre of debilitating illnesses that truly hold hostage the human race’s drive to a better future.
