Speaking at the Portland Area .NET User Group on Tuesday Sept 1st
August 27, 2009 @ 9:49 pm

I’ll be speaking at the PADNUG meeting next week in Portland at the Microsoft office. Rich Hubbins asked me to present on jQuery again as I did last year. A lot has changed in the last year and when I gave the last presentation jQuery was just starting to get some attention in the .NET world. By now many more people have been using jQuery for a while so this talk likely will hit a different...

64 Bit Servers, ISAPI and Managed Modules on IIS
July 06, 2007 @ 3:42 pm

So i took a support call from a customer of mine today who ran into problems installing Web Connection on a 64 bit machine. Web Connection works through a 32 bit ISAPI extension and sure enough a standard configuration will not allow this ISAPI extension to run. Any attempt to access a 32 bit...

June 25, 2007 @ 11:43 am

Whenever I think I finally figured out one of the cryptic configuration settings Apache laughs at me yet again with a nice big fat "Gotcha sucka!". I've struggled through all sorts of bullshit to get scriptmapping to work with Apache. So today I'm putting the final touches on an installation...

Apache and Script Mapping
June 09, 2007 @ 12:03 pm

I've been struggling with mapping scripts to a custom ISAPI handler in Apache for some in Web Connection (which is a FoxPro based ISAPI interface). Web Connection works with Apache, but recently with version 2.2 Apache changed its module binary format and required recompilation so I ended up...

Problem with Permission Elevation in Windows Vista
October 10, 2006 @ 11:13 pm

Windows Vista allows you to raise permissions of an application automatically if the application 'looks' like a Setup or configuration application. Or you can run 'As Administrator' which gives you Admin permissions. There's a problem with this though - when this elevation occurs it's essentially switching users, so your local user store - the Documents directory - is no longer pointing at your user store but at the elevated user store which can be problematic.
