If you run into the following error message when attempting an iptables-restore < my.rules:iptables-restore v1.4.8: no command specified

On a new installation of GVim (in Windows 7), I ran into the following curious error whenever I tried to open a new document for editing:Vim E303: Unable to open swap file for "[No Name]", recovery impossible

Earlier today, I was banging my head against the wall trying to import some data in a CSV file into MySQL. While my imports have gone well thus far, this time around I was dealing with data involving lots of strange diacritics, runic squiggles and other manners of gibberish that make the world as fun as it can be.

If you've upgraded Drupal recently and noticed that the admin page is empty and returns a You do not have any administrative items error message, then this basically means that your menu table is a little wonky. Another tell-tale sign that you've got the same problem as I did is that the admin page will have the title, Administer rather than Administration.

If you ever run into a git-receive-pack not permitted error when using Git, chances are that it's a configuration issue on your end. In my case, I had cloned the repository using via https (which required authentication). However, pushing failed with the aforementioned error.

May 11 18:00:04 named[31875]: zone example.com/IN: NS 'ns3.example.com' has no address records (A or AAAA)I ran into the same errors when I checked the zone files themselves using:
I installed MySQL on my local server today and when I went to access it via mysql_secure_installation to set my root password etc., I ran into the following curious error:ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
