<a href="#" onclick="myFunc(0);">Call myFunc</a>
and in my JavaScript, it includes something like this:
function myFunc(num) {
alert("got here");
}
In Firefox, clicking on the link displays the alert. In Internet Explorer, it produces an "Object expected" error.
I did a little poking around and I learned that myFunc is not defined in IE.

I did a little poking around and I learned that myFunc is not defined in IE.
<a href="#" onclick="alert("Type is:" + typeof(myFunc));">Call myFunc</a>produces an alert which says, "Type is:undefined".
I defined the function in a systemConfig Tiddler in my TiddlyWiki, so I thought maybe it was something funky about TiddlyWiki. It turns out that IE has a quirk, in that global functions aren't visibly globally by default. Or, maybe it is that references to apparently global functions are qualified with "window."
At any rate, changing my JavaScript to:
function myFunc(num) {
alert("got here");
}
window.myFunc = myFunc;resolved the problem.
Today, Documentum doesn't like me either. When I click on the name of a file that I used to be able to view, it shows me a blank Internet Explorer page. Bummer.

UPDATE: It now works from home, over VPN and over WiFi. My best guess is that there is a cached component (the download that happened on "THE NEXT DAY" above) and that download was failing security or failing to choose the right network adapter. The conclusion is, when Documentum shows a mostly blank page after you click on a document link, go to the office, connect via wired LAN without VPN, open ANY Microsoft Office document that is stored in documentum, and the problem will go away.
I couldn't find a way to do this without programming, so I wrote a little Windows program to start iTunes, and tell iTunes to start synchronizing.

Source and executable are attached below. Note that it assumes you installed iTunes to C:\Program Files\iTunes. No warranty. Code placed in the public domain.
Just create a Windows scheduled task to run this at the time of your choosing.
]]>I (and several hundred thousand others) work for a large corporation, that has a highly restrictive firewall and "locks down" the software on its laptops and PCs. Fair enough. The LAN and the computers belong to it.

But I want to check my personal email once in a while. (All webmail is blocked by the firewall.) And there are many people who want their Twitter/Facebook/you-name-it. Carrying a second (personally owned) laptop with 3G or 4G would be a pain, and it would really be too big for most cluttered desks anyhow.
Enter the iPad. I could slide it into my existing laptop bag. It is relatively light. It runs for 10 hours, so I can use it all day. The limited data plan would be enough for email and Twitter, supplemented with WiFi at home. It would even be more convenient to carry to meetings than my laptop, and I can listen to eBooks/podcasts or watch movies or Ted Talks on the subway.
In fact, it is even more valuable because my employer does NOT use them. The security guards won't fuss that I'm carrying equipment out the door without a pass.
It is a 10-inch window to the outside world for the cube-dweller!
]]>I got this far, but the prompt to accept the connection never showed up on the host. Assuming I get that debugged, it may be necessary to install PTFB on the host, to automatically click OK on the do-you-want-to-accept-the-connection prompt.
Once everything is set up, you could put the msra command line as a scheduled task on the host, and run it every day.
Windows 7 insisted that it could send output to one or the other, but not to both at once. I Googled and Googled, and I found others who wanted to do the same thing, but no one succeeding.

So I dropped $40 on a SIIG USB SoundWave 7.1 Digital audio device. It is just a USB audio 'card' for Windows, with speaker, headphone, and SPDIF outputs.
Since my amp has SPDIF input, I send the digital audio to the amp via SPDIF, and I used the headphone output to send the output to the wireless audio transmitter. The SIIG driver lets you turn on/off any of its outputs, so I was able to tell WINDOWS to send output to the SIIG (only), making Windows happy with its one-and-only-one-output-at-a-time policy, and I was able to use the SIIG to split the output to my two devices.

I need a way to tell Windows that it should say that the drive is different than it really is.

Here are some ideas/notes.
There are plenty of people looking for this ability, but I haven't seen any web pages about anyone succeeding.
]]>I leave the PC running 24x7. I turn off the TV when not watching it.
Sometimes, after the TV is off overnight and the PC is idle, when I turn the TV on, Media Center shows a black screen, even after a mouse wiggle or keystrokes. Additional symptoms:

What is the best way to stop Google indexing your pages?
1. Add meta tags
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
2. Use the Google remove url tool, a webmaster tool to remove urls from Google’s index forever.

]]>I found stories on the net, saying to delete the content of "iTunes Library.itl" and to edit "iTunes Music Library.xml" to reflect the new location. The story is that iTunes would detect the corrupt .itl file and rebuild from the xml file. I tried it. It didn't.

My new 'protocol' is to make all of my music accessible via M:\, where I have subdirectories named mp3 (where my music lives) and books (where audio books live). If I move the library, I have to move M: to point to the same structure. In the simple case, I do this with a new drive mapping. In the more complex case (suppose the share points to \foo\bar and mp3 and books live in bar) I would then map the share to a different letter (e.g. N:) and then use subst (e.g. "subst M: N:\foo\bar").
