IE6 does not support position:fixed
There are some script workarounds that might resolve IE6 not rendering position:fixed, but I just changed to position:absolute.
Fiddlers
Classic McBain – “The one thing he couldn’t stand was a smart ass nun.”
Fiddlers: A Novel of the 87th Precinct (87th Precinct Mysteries)
The Turnaround
Another chapter in the Pappas saga. Unravels a bit at the end, but pretty good overall.
Big Bad City
The Cookie Boy and nuns with implants. Carella sees it all
At Death’s Door
Ok. A bit dated, but at least it doesn’t drone on for 400 pages.
SSIS: Change an existing log file through dtexec
SSIS: Change an existing log file through dtexec
dtexec
/f “C:\Share.dtsx”
/l “DTS.LogProviderXMLFile;log.xml”
/Set “\package.Connections[log.xml].Properties[ConnectionString];C:\log2.xml”
Note: The log file (i.e. log.xml) must already be configured in the package
For Sql 2008, you need to add “.1” to the log provider type – DTS.LogProviderXMLFile.1
The First Billion
Even skimming a 1/3 of this book, it was still a waste of time.
The Pirate Queen
Well written and researched. Sections on Drake are the most interesting. Would have preferred more detail on the re-design and armament of the English fleet during Elizabeth’s reign.
The Pirate Queen: Queen Elizabeth I, Her Pirate Adventurers, and the Dawn of Empire
Realtek HD microphone boost
Usually, mic boost is under the Record section of Volume control. If you have Realtek HD, however, these options are disabled.
You need to open up the Realtek Audio Manager and go to the Mixer tab. Then, under the Playback section, scroll to the right until you see Rear Pink In (or Front Pink In if you are using the front mic port). There is an Advanced Options button next to the Mute button. Click that and select Microphone Boost. How was this process considered intuitive?
The Runner
Author has an honest writing style. Really pushes the willful suspension of disbelief. Not bad for kicking back.
Nathan Hale: The Life and Death of America’s First Spy
The author preens and struts as he and his best friend Nathan come of age during the revolution. Boring! I couldn’t even finish a third of this self indulgent tripe.
Disable Javascript in IE7
The only time I could see needing to do this is when you are testing if users have js enabled.
To disable Javascript in IE7
1. Tools / Internet Options / Security
2. Click Custom Level
3. In the Scripting section – click Disable for Active Scripting.
4. Close and restart your browser.
Guns At The Forks
A detailed history of Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) and the conflict between France, England and colonial USA.
Numbered Account
Not bad for the international conspiracy genre, which isn’t my favorite.
Along the wall and watchtowers
A couple decent chapters near the end.
ALONG THE WALL AND WATCHTOWERS: A JOURNEY DOWN GERMANY’S DIVIDE
Julius Caesar
Well written and engaging. The kind of book you look forward to picking up in the evening.
The Program
Not real keen on switching from first to third person throughout the book. Story was ok.
Change XP Login screen
By default Windows XP displays the Graphic login screen with icons and usernames at startup.
If you would like to use the more traditional Windows NT login screen you can get to that screen by pressing Ctrl Alt Del (Reboot key sequence) twice.
If you would like to change to the traditional screen at login, instead of the graphic login screen, do the following:
1. Log in with administrator access.
2. Click on Start, Control Panel, and select user accounts.
3. Click on Change the Way Users Log On or Off.
4. Click on the Box “Use the Welcome Screen” so that there is not check mark.
If you would like to switch from the traditional login screen to the more graphic screen just click on the box in step 4 above so the “Use the Welcome Screen” box is checked.
change all tables to dbo owner
Here is a sql server script I found that will change all tables to the dbo owner.
sp_MSforeachtable @command1=”EXEC sp_changeobjectowner ‘?’,’dbo'”
Open DBDiff
If you are developing on multiple servers, this app can help propagate object changes.
Open DBDiff is an open source database schema comparison tool for SQL Server 2005. It reports differences between two database schemas and provides a synchronization script to upgrade a database from one to the other.
