ICO European Cookie Law

Many of you will know the ICO cookie deadline will hit the shores of the UK in May 2012. What’s funny is the ICO website developers are a bit crap at their job. Why? 1. Go to : http://www.ico.gov.uk/ 2. Accept their cookie thingy at the top. 3. If you can, change the value of [...]

Add Facebook App to Facebook Page Tab

You may have noticed recently that Facebook removed the ability to add your Facebook application directly to your Facebook page (for unknown reasons!). So to save my self some pain each time I created this file that I upload to the domain the Facebook page tab will be hosted on. (remember to change the file [...]

Discover javascript methods via javascript

This is a strange little method that I found recently (and am sorry that I can’t link where I found it, as I lost the link). I was using some really old code, something like 7 year old code from a CMS I had the “pleasure” of working with. And we used the Telerik widgets [...]

customErrors, ResponseRewrite, aspxerrorpath

But just sometimes you wish Microsoft would think before they add a feature! <customerrors mode="On" defaultredirect="/error.html"> <error [...]

iheartmyyogi.com

It’s been a while since I last posted something on my blog. I have basically been putting in to practice some of the things I have preaching about. But I have also been spending time practicing my yoga. Yes, am a geek and I do yoga…I think that makes me geek chic! Or uber geek? [...]

Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll Scripting IIS 7.0 on Vista

This is not a full article on how to script IIS7.0. It’s about getting to that point on how to do it. And as per usual the internet was full of incomplete information. Here’s my complete solution when I faced problems. Firstly the namespace Microsoft.Web.Administration was not available, nor was it in the .NET of [...]
