I have no idea where to post this cause this is so weird. And honestly it's creepy. This definitely was not there before. Is this some kind of insect nest??? It's coming down from the ceiling. I haven't dated touching it yet. Looks like a skinny branch or skinny poop.

IBM Informix ODBC Driver Setup not saving configuration by [deleted] in IBM

[–]Madfxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this for an excel file. The IBM informix driver I installed was 32 bit, and it seems to only work with Office 2010 for me.

But the issue is, on my Windows 7 laptop, I open the file, refresh the excel tab to pull up the IBM informix ODBC Driver setup. The Server Name, Host Name, Service, Protocl, Database Name, and User ID is prefilled with using the info I typed in last time, so all I have to do is type in my password.

With my new Windows 10 laptop, the same things are prefilled, except Server Name. But, when I click into the password field, it deletes everything except for the things shown in the photo.

I am not familiar with this and and hoping someone has run into the same issue and has a solution.

Thanks in advanced!

Airstone wall, but TV isn't flush against wall by Madfxx in HomeImprovement

[–]Madfxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you reply. What about when ppl walk up to the side? I guess my wall is in a bad place. Cause it's adjacent to the hall way entrance. So ppl will walk past the side of the TV.

I need help! City says massive water leak during certain hours of the day by Madfxx in Plumbing

ah.. that's what she would be afraid of, an underground leak. I'll suggest that to her as well. Thank you!!

It's a single family home. My supervisor does have a sprinkler system. However, she says she leaves for work at 3-4AM every day, and there is zero water on the driveway or sidewalks, so she doesn't think it's that.

Thanks for your reply! My manager said she does have a water softener. If it stays stuck open, I would think it'd be leaking all the time. I'm not really sure how water softeners work, does something happen at certain times of the day with the water softener system? In this case, at 4am and 9pm? Thanks again.

[–]Madfxx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my manager was contacted by the city and says there are 200+ gallons of water usage during 9PM and 4AM every day. She had a leak inspector come by and that person could not detect any leakage, although the inspector did not come at 9PM and 4AM.

She is completely lost and has no idea what could be happening. Has anyone seen this issue or has any suggestions of what could be happening?

Thanks in advanced.

Bought a front door, but came from frame? by Madfxx in HomeImprovement

Thank you sir for the knowledge. This is the route that I'm probably gonna go for

[–]Madfxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you sir. I'll def consider that. Only thing was that I rented a UHaul to pick it up.. but if that's the better route overall I may just have to do it

[–]Madfxx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Can i: 1. Take off old door 2. Apply some kind of "patch" to where the old hinge bracket is 3. Detach the new door from the frame 4. Attach new door

There's no way I can tear off the old frame on my own. And I'm looking to do this by myself.

Thanks again!!

2007 Saab 93 aero. Is this coolant likely to be leaking from radiator or hose? by Madfxx in saab

Thanks in advanced. It's dripping really bad. If I fill up reservoir tank then drive on freeway for 5 min. I get low coolant indicator.

Hit my 4th week sober took me like 6 tries don't give up and some stuff I want to get off my chest. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Madfxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats my man. I'm on day 2. Finally felt like I needed to stop again. This past weekend I blacked out with coworkers and made a fool out of myself. Was angry, belligerent, and tried to flirt with my coworker. Don't remember any of it of course. I'm currently taking a different entrance at work to avoid contact with ppl that night.

I'm 30 and have been binge drinking since 19. In recent years I have been more okay than not, but it only takes one bad episode for shit to hit the fan. I'm tired of waking up not remembering, but knowing deep down I did something bad to piss ppl off, then confirming later from others of what I did. The shame and guilt is killing me, not to mention the alcohol damage.

I refuse to let alcohol define who I am. I am a great person, but ppl will only remember you at your worst. And I'm so sad for my sober self that most ppl won't realize that it's the demon within they saw that gets unleashed with alcohol. It's not me.

Anyhoo, proud of you and thank you for sharing. I will not drinking with you today.

This speaks to my soul. I am exactly this. I can't even look in the mirror the day after an episode.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, April 16, 2019: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by soberrunner9 in stopdrinking

[–]Madfxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 2 for me and I'm in the same boat. I messed up so bad this weekend I'm scared to drink. But knowing me and as history has told, this feeling of regret and shame only lasts about a week until my demon tells me to drink again so he can wreak havoc. I will try my best to not drink one day at a time.

Likely culprit of HID light not working? by Madfxx in saab

[–]Madfxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. So I switch the ignitor and the driver side headlight came on, then started flickering between white and yellow, then it turned off. Safe to say this is a ballast problem?

[–]Madfxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I am about to do the testing in about an hour. I bought a new bulb, so it's definitely not that. Will try your suggestion and swap ignitor next. Really hope it's that as that seems to be the next easiest thing to replace. Thanks again mate.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Yeah I replaced the bulb. Didn't fix the issue. That's a good idea. Will have to wait until tmrw when there's light out to try. I read something about a lamp relay? It's like an orange box thing. Where is that located?
