I can’t believe that these two cool tools, especially Wink, are free. I’ve been looking for good screen capture software but until today, have had no luck. But hey, today I found two great tools in a roll. Wink is definitely more sophisticated and more flexible than CamStudio. But CamStudio is an Open Source project.

I recently installed cacti 0.8.6j on my windows laptop running Windows XP Service Pack 2. I had various troubles until following this
Windows Tutorial exactly, and meanwhile, also learned how to debug the NaN graph problem.

While debugging, I looked into difference between PHP4 and PHP5, also fcgi mode of PHP. This page gives a succinct explanation of PHP and fcgi.

Below is a snapshot of my Cacti path setting. I did find out that the default Cacti font is important. If left out, then there will be no ASCII showing in the RRD graphs.

Another thing was that as I followed the this
Windows Tutorial to schedule a task to poll data, I ran into this error:

I was able to fix the error by selecting “Run Only If Logged On” as follows.

I also create cactiuser@% as mySQL root and grant it all priviledges granted to cactiuser.
