I recently moved a database from one mysql server to another and ended up with some weird text. It seems that some characters were changed into some crazy text. Here’s what I found and here’s what I think they were originally. I did a massive find and replace using phpmyadmin to fix them.
One error appeared as this
’
I think the original one was a single quotation so I replaced it with this

It’s kind of crazy but now the text seems normal on the site. It looks like it could be some messed up language.

So I’ve been getting this error in my Contacts manager in Microsoft Outlook 2003. I can arrange or sort by any field except Categories which is annoying!
It seems to be a bug. I’ve searched for a solution but found none. So here’s the work around that I’ve discovered.
Right Click on the Categories Field. Click Arrage By. Choose ‘Categories’ however this will sort by category but it won’t sort it alphabetical. I’ll be looking for a better solution.

I install iTunes and it’s some good software however I’ve been having an issue. iTunes skips, it’s not skipping songs, but it’s skipping through the song as if the sync was off. A skipping MP3 is pretty wierd. So I’ve been researching solutions and trying new things. Defragging didn’t help, actually nothing really helped until I found this solution. I’m glad I found a solution becuase it’s driving me nuts and I’m pretty hung over today. I don’t need my songs skipping while working and trying to ignore my headache.
I have Quicktime 7.0.4 installed right now. So the solution is based on that version.

1) Close iTunes and Quicktime
2) Click the start button
