I haven't been posting much about my sailing... I'm still doing foredeck on Cheetah and we usually sail every Wednesday in addition to the races. The PHRF Fall series has started in Jacksonville and we took a second place in race #1. Race #2 was yesterday and what a hoot! It was a Nor'easter blowing 20-25 knots all afternoon and made for some fun times. I love these conditions. There were only 5 boats in the spinnaker class. I'm sure the weather kept many boats at the dock. Wimps!

I never liked my folder layouts on shared hosting servers. I would place transfer, fusebox, customtags, and other items in the web root that really did not belong there.

Ever get this error with MS SQL2000? Microsoft would have you doing all sorts of shenanigans with Active Directory.

In my case, xp_sendmail would work fine from one server, but not another. They both used the same AD account, so that didn't seem too logical of a fix.

Restarting SQL Server Agent service didn't help. Simply running these 2 stored procedures fixed it:

All I can figure is that there was a communication breakdown between my SQL server and Exchange and SQL doesn't recover very gracefully from that.
