About ClientCyde
ClientCyde is where I keep the fixes I would otherwise lose. Between 2012 and 2021 I wrote up 27 of them: a CVS sticky tag that would not let go, which process was hammering the disks on a CentOS 5 box, a SQL Server 2012 installer stuck on "installing setup files", an LDAP error I could only read once Wireshark had decrypted it.
Each note says what went wrong, what worked and shows the code. They are left as I wrote them, with a dated update where time has moved on, and every GitHub gist is set in the page itself. Found a mistake, or a better way? Tell me.
