Thanks to Ray who pointed out a problem with the script under PHP5, the download of the plugin now includes a version that functions under PHP5, it can be found on this site here.
I updated the site to focus strictly on technology. All of my personal and photography related content has been moved to http://www.seigafuse.net. I also installed a new theme to freshen the layout and colors a bit.
I upgraded my home PC to Windows 7 this week. Vista was giving me issues (what else is new), so I decided to do the Windows 7 upgrade sooner rather than later. I don’t usually adopt a new OS this quickly, but given I was on Vista it seemed like a good idea.
The upgrade process was pretty simple, and other than a few annoying items (having to deauthorize the computer in iTunes prior to the upgrade, and having to deinstall ATI drivers) it was mostly painless. The upgrade did take several hours for me, as I do have a good amount of data (around 130GB).
I had to reinstall Roxio Easy Media Creator suite afterwards to get rid of an annoying messages about the Roxio Cine Player Media Decoder being missing. Also, the screen seems odd. The resolution setting is set the same as it was under Vista at 1440×900, but it looks like it has an odd aspect ratio. I was hoping to install new ATI drivers, but it appears Gateway has NO drivers at all for Windows 7 yet (see screenshot below).
No Windows 7 Drivers
So far the upgrade has been fine other than the look of the screen. New features are nice, I like the sticky and the fact that sleep mode works, peeking at the desktop, and the photo support for the desktop background and screensaver, but I like stability and reliability even better. Time will tell if Windows 7 delivers, but so far so good.
Here is an update to the OCS Diff Scripts courtesy of Dioni Vidal. Dioni is from Brazil and speaks Portuguese, so some of the messages are in Portuguese. If someone takes the time to translate, let me know and I will post the translations as well.
The installation remains the same as the original version, and you can find the details here. Dioni’s version adds reporting of sound and video changes to the hardware script, and adds software change reporting (added or removed) via ocssoftware.php.
Don’t forget to change the email addresses in ocshardware.php and ocssoftware.php on lines 15,16 and 17.
Once you are done the related cron jobs are likely to look something like this:
10 * / 1 * * php * apache / usr / share / ocsinventory-reports / ocsreports / ocssoftware.php
