Category Archives: Tips & TricksI have multiple web servers behind one IP address and use port forwarding to each allowing external access. The main web server is externally accessible on port 80, but the others require manual port selection in a URL. This is annoying to say the least, and potentially problematic if a surfer is restricted only to [...]
As far as Windows-based decent free screen-recording software goes, CamStudio is it. When installing, make sure you also download and install the CamStudio Lossless Codec (CSCD)! There are a couple of problems that become apparent when actually using captured video in other video processing apps (e.g. Media Player Classic (MPC), Adobe Premiere and VirtualDub). The [...]
Having recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2008, my lackluster experience with developing and debugging native code in the ‘improved’ IDE has left me looking (and I am still) for hotfixes that might patch various painful problems. In particular, the IDE suffers major performance problems when debugging large C++ projects that (believe it or not) have [...]
I host my own mail server (Courier with Spamassassin) and check my mail via IMAP on my iPhone. Unfortunately Apple never implemented use of the IDLE command to enable Push with an IMAP account (there is a jailbroken app that will do this!), so the alternative (if one is desperate for Push) is to pipe [...]

Although instrumentation has a higher overhead, it can reveal in greater detail exactly what your program is doing. In order for instrumentation to proceed, one [...]
After upgrading my Drupal site to the latest point release (5.19), before transitioning to version 6, I discovered that the action parameter of all rendered forms were being prefixed a slash ‘/’. This in itself is reasonable since one would expect the REQUEST_URI server variable to return a relative URL. However, as I host several [...]
When debugging my VC++ projects, I routinely make use of ‘Edit & Continue’ by modifying code in the Visual Studio environment while stepping through the compiled code. Recently I found that typing into a code window would cause Visual Studio to become unresponsive for a long period. Checking Task Manager, I found that WerFault had [...]
While working on a Flash project in Adobe Creative Suite CS4, I was editing some ActionScript 2.0 code (AS) stored in a separate code file from the main Flash document (FLA). I decided to revert to an older version of the whole project, thereby going back to FLA and AS files with an older timestamp. [...]
