Ever wanted to run Visual Studio 2003 on Windows Vista? No? Me neither but apparently at least one person has wanted since there is an article on MSDN about how to do it and the problems you should expect to run into. Just from skimming the list of problems it makes me wonder why on earth anyone would want to do this? Perhaps they enjoy self-inflicted torture? They are using Vista after-all. Yes I know, they need to support existing .Net 1.1 applications but surely there are better options!?! a) Upgrade the application. b) If upgrading is just not feasible then maintain a seperate Windows XP machine and avoid the headaches in the first place. c) Don’t want to spend a dime? Install a Virtual Machine (VMWare or Virtula PC) with XP on it on the local Vista machine and the problem goes away. You can get a brand new PC downgraded to XP in the $300 ballpark and I am sure there are still ways to get your hands on XP if you don’t already have a cop...

Use Javascript to open a link in a new window
From: geekdaily.net
Post Date: 2008-03-06 08:33:20

This is a common question I see a lot on the Web Development Forum I help moderate. Many new developers read the tutorial on XHTML and ask “if target is depreciated then how do I open a link in a new window?” The answer is you use JavaScript. It is true that if the user has JavaScript disable then the link won’t open at all, right? I’ll show you the best way to open a link and have it degrade gracefully if JavaScript isn’t enabled and will even defy popup block... more

In the online, for lack of a better term, world of programming you occassionally encounter bugs or side effects in your code that you did not anticipate. For some of us this happens more often than for others but it is something everyone experiences from time to time. In the context of this online world these side effects are considered negative. You want, and need, for your programs behavior to be 100% predictable every single time it is run or else eventually you’d be out of a job. ... more

There’s no where to hide on the Internet

It is surprising that a lot of people don’t realize just how easy it can be to track their Internet trail. I hear, from time to time, about people getting fired over personal opinions on blogs or people that can’t get hired because they posted pictures of themsleves riding the porcelin pony on Facebook. These people really have no means of appeal. You should know by now that if you post anything on the Internet it is there for life, for the whole world to see. There is an intere... more
