So you’ve set up yourself a nice farm of production, testing and acceptance SharePoint servers, and you want to build a new test server.
You make a backup through the Central Administration website, and on your soon to be testing server, you restore the backup.
And then you want to connect the restored Content database, only to discover that SharePoint claims that this database does not contain any sites… Oops? Continue reading ‘Restoring SharePoint sites, doesn’t!’
In a very old post, I explained how to set up your own Subversion server to benefit from storing your scripts in a versioning repository. Certainly when you are working with multiple administrators on one environment, you want to be sure you are using the latest version of a certain script, and be able to roll back to a working version if you or one of your colleagues manage to wreck it.
New environment, and while setting up a new Subversion for our small group of admins, I found out about VisualSVN. Same functionality, but easier to use!
The Belgian tax system has its oddities. One of them is what they call “fiscal horsepower”. It is an interesting but blunt tool to define which cars are fast, and therefore should be taxed higher than others.
Accelleration is the combination of power and mass of the object you want to move. Most cars that are known to be fast are known because of their higher rate of acceleration – most normal cars can do high speeds too, if you just wait long enough for it.
So the Belgian government came with a formula to figure this out in an easy to chart number: the fiscal horsepower of a car.
This number is calculated by the next formula:
(cilinder content in liters times 4) + (weight of the car divided by 400)
Just in case if anyone’s interested in figuring out how much taxes they need to pay on their next ride.
Update:
The Belgian tax people changed their formula, and scrapped the weight of the car out of it. All info is here.
