Going around again...

I started Telligent as a PM, then went into product, then moved to the Microsoft-specific "sites" team where I wrote and maintained the http://silverlight.net site. But that ended last week as the sites team transitioned onto other projects inside Telligent. Terri wrote about it here . So,...

Lightbox JS and HTTPS

I've always loved Lightbox - it just looks so cool. I've used it to "popup" larger versions of images on a few sites, but only today did I notice that it causes a security warning in IE7. Unfortunately, this isn't highlighted as an issue on the lightbox page, so I didn't know...

Using OpenDNS.com to protect your family

I was a little surprised that someone I talked to last night hadn't heard of this amazing service, and even more surprised that I hadn't blogged about this before. If you have a router at home - and surely most of my audience does - you need to set it to use OpenDNS . Do it today . It's free...

Kinda Relative URLs

After developing for *cough* some time it's not often that I come across a new style of URL that I've never even heard of before. A few days ago I saw a forum post about a 404 message someone got about their geotrust smartseal badge. I followed up and found that the javascript that geotrust supply...

Now deleting spam

Until today I have been reviewing my gmail spam folder each day or so, and marking all new spam as read when I've reviewed it. Most of the time that works ok, but I've noticed that there are times when I get spam with a presumably deliberately wrong date - maybe a few years ago. That's quite...

Networking Equipment and how to return it

First, always keep the wrapping, even the little twisty ties that keep the wires tidy. Keep the paperwork and the CD's - and I try to open the tamper-proof stickers with a sharp knife so that I don't rip the paperwork. I'm getting very good at this because I've returned multiple routers...

The Ghost in the machine

I was having loads of fun getting a "borrowed" web service running on the staging server yesterday. As with all code that you take without asking, there are always.. shall we say, "hiccups". Apparently every line in the web.config conflicted with the root web.config. And not in a...

Few Google tips

As I find them.. Gmail: I've seen 20-30 good emails caught in spam, so check it often while you train it. Since I don't want to check the same message twice, I mark the spam as read whenever I check it. Then, to check just the unread spam you can search for in:spam is:unread . Here's a list...
