IIS – 206 partial content for SWFs?
As part of my current role I've inherited a server or two. There is one server that has been giving me particular grief this last week and I'd like to share that here.
The server is Windows 2008 (although this is also likely to apply to previous version of Windows) running IIS 7.5 (again, likely to apply to previous versions) serving up .NET web sites and web applications. This server has been chugging along q...

IIS – 206 partial content for SWFs?
Posted by andrew on May 17th, 2012 at 8:07 amAs part of my current role I've inherited a server or two. There is one server that has been giving me particular grief this last week and I'd like to share that here. The server is Windows 2008 (although this is also likely to apply to previous version of Windows) running IIS 7.5 (again, likely to apply to previous versions) serving up .NET web sites and web applications. This server has been chugging along quite, and then the first signs of trouble appeared about a fortnight ago, when o... -

avoiding spam
Posted by andrew on April 18th, 2012 at 10:58 amIt's well known that spam bots scour the web for email addresses, meaning that one sure fire way to ensure that you get spam is to have your email address posted on a public web page. Because of this I've always favoured the use of contact forms rather than providing an email address, and have been surprised to see some sites have users email addresses posted on the page.

WordPress CRM Authentication
Posted by andrew on September 26th, 2011 at 8:52 pmSo I've been busy working on a few large client projects, and one of them called for their site users to be authenticated against their custom CRM. Luckily I was able to get access to their SQL Server so the task meant authenticating against user credentials in an external database. Enter External DB authentication a plugin which enables just that. There were, however, a few minor modifications that I needed to make for this plugin to suit our requirements. I struggled to get the plugin ... -

UIWebView Frame Load Interrupted
Posted by andrew on July 16th, 2011 at 9:33 amHad this strange issue where when I tried to load a cached file into the UIWebView on iOS it chucked up this error, more strange as I knew the file was sound as I was previously opening it in a UITextView. The I stumbled across this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1482736/frame-load-interrupted-error-while-loading-a-word-document-in-uiwebview It appears as though the UIWebView chokes when trying to open a document without a file extension, it makes some sense for a stripped down UIWebView ... -

Forced Obsolescence
Posted by andrew on July 4th, 2011 at 12:55 pmApple have been accused of planned obsolescence, but this is something different. I turned on my MacBook today to be greeted by the GSOD (Grey Screen of Death) caused by a kernel panic. I thought bugger, hard drive or memory bad, so I tried removing and replacing with no luck. I don't want to have to re-install if not necessary. This process is made more difficult by the fact that my optical disc drive no longer works in this macbook. So I'm rummaging around on the intarweb for ways to kick...
