I recently had the pleasure of figuring out how to get Railo working for a customer. Unfortunately the internet doesn’t convey my extreme sarcasm in saying the word pleasure. It was not pleasant. For one, there is very limited documentation. So limited that it’s hard to determine what version you should install. Despite all this […]

I’m testing an install of DotNetNuke on IIS 7 and ran into an error when trying to start the site. The WebResource.axd handler must be registered I tried following some guides online to add the handlers to the >system.webserver> section which is there for IIS in the web.config but I couldn’t get them to work […]
Read More →Dell Zino is Mac Mini competition?
Pretty interesting little PC from Dell. If only it came with blu-ray it would make a killer media PC, same with Apple. The Dell Zino HD sporting options like a dual core AMD CPU, up to 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive (7200rpm as well) and a Radeon 4330 with 512MB RAM, surely at least WoW […]

I recently moved my site over to a Windows 2008 server running IIS 7 with PHP running in FastCGI. Decent speed improvement but I have some more work to do, more on that later. Maybe I’ll even include an install guide for PHP in FastCGI with IIS7. In the move I forgot to setup ISAPI_Rewrite […]

The old command “DUMP TRANSACTION [db_name] WITH NO_LOG;” no longer works in SQL 2008 to dump the transaction log. Instead I found a GUI work around. I don’t like it as much but it works for now until I find something better. If I do, I’m not a DBA anyway. 1. Open SQL Management Studio […]
Read More →Review of Comcast High Speed vs Qwest DSL
Compared with Comcast high speed the download and upload rates of DSL are drastically slower. You don’t notice it as much in web page loading but you do when downloading music, games, movies, patches, updates, etc. However it was easy for me to simply time large downloads during the night or at points when I […]

My love for Simcity began in the early 90’s with Simcity Classic. My family had just moved to Colorado from Omaha and we were staying with my uncle while they finished work on the house. I was first introduced to it when my uncle let me use his super fast 486 PC. I would sit […]
Read More →Ninite.com, install multiple applications with one installer
This is one of the coolest things I have seen online. This site builds an installer that will combine multiple other application installers into one. It downloads and installs everything for you, no clicking next. I accidentally stumbled this but what a find. I just reloaded my PC with Windows 7 Pro ($30 student edition). […]
Read More →Comcast vs Qwest Speed Test
I switched over to Qwest DSL a few months ago because Comcast kept dropping my connection. I’d been so satisfied with Qwest’s reliability that I kept them when I moved as well. Especially since I was moving to a highrise building. I figured the line would be saturated. But since DirectTV has the worst customer […]
