Reset Brother 4150CDN toner count

Printer just stopped all of a sudden and said I needed to replace the toner, but I didn't see any toner degradation in any print outs.  Found this neat tip:

There has also been some negative comments about Brother colour laser printers refusing to print further once the page count for the toner has reached the perceived maximum with toner still available. This may be so but is easily sorted by resetting the toner count when needed. This is done through the toner reset menu found by simultaneously pressing the "secure" and "cancel" buttons on the printer whilst the toner door is open.

You actually want to press the secure button first, and while you're still holding that button then press the cancel button.

Best GAL solution for Android email

Goal: compose email and when typing into To field autocomplete not only with my local contacts, but also use information from the corporate GAL (global address list)

I used to use "Improved Email" but it got taken down from the Android market :(.  Fortunately there's a new app call Moxier Mail which does the same thing.  Phew...  K9 email never worked for me and not even TouchDown appeared to be able to do this simple thing.

Copy a wiki space in Confluence

Here's what worked for me:
* Copy the page and save
* If there are any embedded Gliffy documents fix links to them by going into the wiki source and removing the version reference - that fixes the issue
* Go to Edit and do the move to the new space from there (move menu item doesn't always seem to work)
* Do edit again and do a search for the old wikispace name (e.g., csarch) and delete that debris
* Do similar find/replace at the source level too once all docs have been ported over
* Go back to old page and put a link to the new page in the new space
