Tutorial Tuesday: Using OpenDNS

John — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:13:40 +0000

In today’s podcast I tell you the benefits of using OpenDNS and how to configure your router or PC to use the service as a content filter. OpenDNS uses St. Bernard Software to provide content filtering. OpenDNS can be used on just about any router and works with Windows, Apple and Linux OS’s. It even works on the Nintendo Wii.

Tutorial Tuesday: Adding New MIME Types in IIS

John — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:29:48 +0000

In this podcast I talk about how to add new MIME types to IIS 6.0 so that you can open Office 2007 documents.

There are two ways to add new MIME types to IIS 6.0: through the IIS Manager snap-in or by editing the MetaBase.xml file. I recommend using the snap-in because it doesn’t require you to reboot the server. Detailed instructions below the break.
