Change the battery of your Z22 Palm Pilot

Ever wanted to change the battery on your Z22 Palm Pilot? It's just very strange that one can buy a new battery, but no-where in the manual one can find how to do so. I finally took the chance and the palm-pilot in my family did a dive into the washing-machine ;-)

Here are two photo's of the interior of the Z22... One will need: sharp nails, a torx T5 and a small philips/cross-screwdriver. For the rest you will end up as show in the pictures.

At the red-'circles' one will find the torx screws to remove before being able to open the rest with your nails. The screws are behind the black cover over the USB-mini-b-connector and the IR-sender.

Please have fun with it.

Adding Opsview to hardy

This is how I added Opsview to my Ubuntu Hardy servers:
Run these as route:

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 77CB2CF6

gpg --export --armor 77CB2CF6 | apt-key add -

 Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

#

# OpsView

#

deb http://apt.opsview.org/ubuntu hardy main 

And then run:

apt-get update

apt-get install opsview-agent

And of you go! Have fun.

Fiddler helps with SOAP

When you want to inspect your SOAP traffic, you can use the http-debugging-proxy Fiddler to inspect your traffic. But right out of the box you cannot see the method called for each session. For this you can add a rule to the Rules.

Within the class declare the options you need:

// Show SOAP requests

public static RulesOption("Show SOAP Request", "SOAP")

var m_ShowSoapRequest: boolean = false;

Add this to the call OnBeforeResponse:

if (m_ShowSoapRequest) {

    //oSession.utilDecodeRequest();

    var strRequestStart : String = "><";

    var iPos = oSession.utilFindInRequest(strRequestStart, false);

    if (iPos != -1) {

        var oBodyString : String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(oSession.requestBodyBytes);

        iPos = iPos + strRequestStart.Length;

        var iEndPos = oBodyString.IndexOf(">", iPos);

        var soapRequest : String = oBodyString.Substring(iPos, iEndPos - iPos);

        if (soapRequest.IndexOf("/") != -1) {
            soapRequest = soapRequest.Substring(0, soapRequest.IndexOf("/"));

        }

        if (soapRequest.IndexOf(" ") != -1) {

            soapRequest = soapRequest.Substring(0, soapRequest.IndexOf(" "));

        }

        oSession["ui-customcolumn"] = soapRequest;

    }

}
