Unable to start WebSphere on Windows

Had an issue just now trying to start an application server running on Windows 2008. Got error messages in SystemOut such as

CWXRS0024E: Failed to write out object:
CWRLS0008E: Recovery log is being marked as failed.
CWRLS0009E: Details of recovery log failure ... (Access is denied)

In addition I also experienced that the NodeAgent would not start without any obvious reason, but if I deleted all log files it started.

Turned out to be caused by me not having started the command window with the “Run as Administrator”-option. I was allowed to create files, therefore the nodeagent started, but not allowed to change existing files, therefore the nodeagent did not start until I had deleted them. The app servers did try to write to other files as well, therefore it did not do the trick for them just to delete their log files.

British pair arrested in U.S. on terror charges over Twitter jokes

If you in the nearby future, or I would guess I could cut the word “nearby”, have plans to travel to the U.S, you must not under any circumstances offend the country in any way, what so ever.

It happened to a British pair since the guy had written some funny Twitter tweets…read all about it in DailyMail

Snow Leopard – Trash can won’t empty

For some reason that the “Secure empty trash”-function refuses to tell me, it would not totally empty my trash on our Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I stumbled across this Youtube-clip that got me started http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPTY8kHd0Hw [video:youtube:lPTY8kHd0Hw]
Point is that you need to go to the terminal and do a

cd ./.Trash
sudo rm -rf *.*

to get the files deleted. If you watch the video don’t worry about all the warnings of how dangerous the command is and also the thing he says that the command can have change – it won’t change, this is a basic Linux/Unix command. Anyhow, this helped me out and I got to empty the trash totally. I guess it is a feature, but I hate the fact that it cannot empty my trash without me using command line sudo rm…
