Currently I primarily operate on an Intel P4 “Northwood” 2.53Ghz with 1GB of OCZ RAM on an Abit IT7-MAX2 Motherboard, it’s a few years old and starts to struggle with a lot of the newer development environments. I still remember the first PC I bought specifically for development, it was a monster at the time, [...]
Which is better, a hardware or software firewall?
Of course this is a trick question, there is no such thing as a hardware firewall. By definition, all firewalls are software, whether they be on implemented on dedicated hardware or installed as a package on a PC. The only thing that comes close to a hardware firewall [...]
Being a first hand observer of ‘DLL hell’ I seem to be more inclined to statically link my 3rd party libraries these days, indeed I believe DLL hell still exists. Recent code I’ve been doing requires such libraries, however I’ve already discovered these same 3rd party libraries being deposited in the same directory that I [...]
“Informer” now natively gathers information from Vorbis (aka Ogg) format files as well as from ID3 tags (i.e. mp3s), which provides extended tag support earlier versions (pre v2.9) of WinAMP (i.e. ones that don’t include the IPC_GET_EXTENDED_FILE_INFO IPC). Additionally it allows user choice between ID3v2 or ID3v1 preferences. That’s probably it for the input side [...]
There seems to be something very wrong with Outlook’s implementation of MIME mail formatting. As far as receiving messages go, we seem to be in the clear, it pretty much reads everything, however sending is quite another matter.
WinMail.dat
WInMail.dat is one annoyance, a good definition is here on Webopedia. Essentially it is a proprietory Microsoft format [...]
I chose Wordpress as the “hub” of my site simply because I don’t have time to code and maintain anything sophisticated for myself; I’m too busy designing other people’s sites and developing software. It’s a very quick and easy option to producing something presentable.
Then when I was asked if I could produce something for my [...]
I’ve provisionally named my new WinAMP plugin “Informer”, until I find someone else is already using the name ;) It was called “AmpInfoEx” until now, but I found that too much of a mouthful.
I’ll not give too much away about what it does, until it’s in a state it can be released. Suffice to say [...]
After a little fiddling and customisation, I’ve opened my forums to the public. Their initial primary function with be for the support of a number of programs/products I’ve developed. They will also play host to a number of small communitys, albeit ‘privately’.
They will gather a small core base of people over time, once they have [...]
So here I am, just a few days later and all the core functionality of my general purpose WinAMP plugin is complete.
Now for the really hard part… the user interface.
I’ve worked on many projects in my time, both large and small, and without a doubt the user interface is always the most time consuming component. [...]
This is for PlusNet customers having problems with ’sendmail’ on the new CCGI server. The linked file fixes the problems associated with mail not being delivered.
The file for PHPBB 2.0.16. It may or may not work for earlier versions.
The single file enclosed in the ZIP file is to replace {boardroot}/includes/emailer.php , I strongly advise [...]
