Dang, so in my previous post I said the audio wouldn’t work. Mickey and I figured that it was a 3rd party app causing the issue, so I uninstalled everything but the installer and sources. I uninstalled SummerBoard, etc.

Make sure your app is set up as a virtual directory, etc, etc.
Then, you need to set permissions and run commands and change around settings just to get anywhere. Just for kicks I made the IUSR for the directory have modify rights, but [...]

I have read Dare O’s blog for a while now (years?), and recently it seems recently once every few weeks he mentions how Facebook keeps all your data so you can’t export it easily. Yes , it’s true. The email addresses are graphics, and they expire every so often, which sucks.
I was tooling around [...]

Today, Joel asked me what to do to get source control going at his new job since they don’t have any. He mentioned I have never blogged on SVN or TortoiseSVN at all, so , here goes :)
Currently I am using Team Foundation Server (TFS) - which is nice, integrates with VS2005, etc. But really [...]

I have ran across this a couple times now, I actually had a blog post draft written up for this but never got around to finishing it, well this week I ran into the issue again, so here it is.
