Scrath Pad: Sony BDP-S350 : network connection problem

It comes time when we need to replace network router in the house… And it was time for me to do just that… I went with Linksys E4200 – nice piece of machinery. Everything now is flying! I am using Linksys products for many years and this upgrade did not disappoint me, setup was a easy, my network is now on true gigabit speed and wireless with dual band and much stronger signal. Well, not everything is happy about the change at first… My good old Wii refused to stay connected via WiFi loosing signal at random. I think it may be something to do with dual band wireless. I could have made two network on different bands, but I Read more

Implementing Custom Security Extensions for SQL Server 2008 R2

Introduction

This article has been contributed by Daniel Klionsky and based on the work we have done within our team allowing single sign-on integration of SQL Server Reporting Services within existing application.

So it is just “Wow” kind of situation when you try to do the same on iPad and there are no similar tools at your disposal… Luckily there are people around and they share their infinite wisdom. So if you are looking for the way to see page source try method discussed here

SQL Server 2008 R2 : install mess

Back in 2008 I wrote an article about “reboot check” error with installer. Now it is time to mention another situation – total failure of installing SQL Server 2008 R2 on the machine with prior installation of SQL Server 2008. Please note that if you work with Visual Studio 2010 you would most likely get express edition unless declined during install. I do not know for sure if it is related but… just happened to be that after doing unrelated reinstall of VS 2010 I have to reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2 Dev build on the same machine as well. Fan started when installer refused to be applied on top of existing installation, nice and very informative error about with 2 Read more

Grey Dragon Theme Feature Poll – April

Now that I am considering what would make into next month’s roll-out, I would be happy to hear from you – post comments, suggestions, improvements. On the table right now: Theme’s mini mode – it is useful when embeded inside other web-site. Goal is to reduce header, footer and make some rearrangments to the layout. Comments, suggestions are welcomed. iPad frame pack – similar to book framepack, it would feature different thumbs for albums/photos. Items are still in the list for consideration from last poll (please remind me, if I am missing anything): Sidebar visibility management based on page type – link Note: This is not the place to post errors – please use gallery forum thread
