This week I accidently disabled the touch pad on my HP portable (EliteBook 8570p). Apparently this happened because I touched the upper left corner of the touch pad – you see an orange led light when touch pad is disabled. Just double tap the upper left corner again and it is activated again.

Fixing the form cannot be rendered error in SharePoint 2013 workflows
I recently encountered an error when trying out the standard SharePoint 2010 workflows in a newly installed SharePoint 2013 environment. When opening the workflow initiation form it gave me an error “The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server administrator.”
Apparently my SharePoint 2013 did not have a State Service Application configured – to create a new State Service Application you are required to use PowerShell since the option is not available in the interface. Take a look at New-SPStateServiceApplication cmdlet documentation on Technet
1: $serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name “State Service Application”
2: New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name “SharePoint_Service_State” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp
3: New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name “State Service Application Proxy” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup
