 | Windows Live Writer, Remember Password and Atom Authentication |
· Krehbiel Tech · Friday, Sep 25, 2009, 9:25 PM · 433 words · from atomapi · shorturl
I was working on an Atom publishing API for my blog, since I want to use more secure authentication than is possible with the MetaWeblog API. But I had no luck getting Windows Live Writer to authenticate against my API even though it tested out correctly in every other way. I finally discovered it was a quirk of Windows Live Writer.

I’ve been a Consolas user since it came with Visual Studio 2005, but now I’m exploring some new programming fonts. Unfortunately, there are surprisingly few choices out there if you want a nice anti-aliased font that scales well.

| What We Didn’t Have For Amiga Development |

While using Cloanto’s Amiga Forever to massage the source code for Rend24 into something that actually compiles*, I was amazed at the basic functionality we had to live without during the time I did Amiga development.

Is this normal for a home router? :) I get a report every week filled with scary-sounding log messages like the ones below. I guess it’s good to see that these things are caught, but it makes one wonder what kinds of things are not getting caught.
| Gave Up On Ubuntu |

Recently I put an old 1.8GHz P4 computer in the living room to use as a dedicated media player for music, pictures and video. As an experiment, I first tried to install Ubuntu Linux as the operating system, thinking the Linux desktop had surely matured enough by now to perform this simple task.
| That Mysterious requirePermission Attribute |

I started upgrading an ASP.NET 1.1 project to 2.0, and I got this error: "Unrecognized attribute 'requirePermission' (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config\machine.config line 14)"
| How to Create and Manage Certificates with OpenSSL |
· Krehbiel Tech · Sunday, Jun 14, 2009, 9:27 PM · 2,379 words
Lately I’ve been on a crusade to digitally sign my emails. I tried some free email certificates from StartSSL and Thawte, but neither one was quite what I wanted (they just show an email address with something like a generic “free member” as the common name). So I decided to try making my own certificate authority with OpenSSL. There are tons of resources on the Internet for doing this, but in this magnum opus I’m attempting to distill it all down into one place.

For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out how to send digitally signed emails in Windows Live Mail (or Windows Mail) in Vista. Both consistently reported, “The message could not be sent. An error has occurred.&rdquo.
| How To Fix IE8 Links Not Working |
· Krehbiel Tech · Monday, May 18, 2009, 7:34 PM · 250 words · 15 comments
If you’re having trouble with Internet Explorer 8 not opening links in Vista, try running IE once as an Administrator.

Same problem with Win7, IE8. I have tried every fix I could find on the web, including manually registering all the IE dlls, with no luck. I even uninstalled all AV and it didn't help. I installed MS Security Essentials, but I still can't open a link in another domain from the page where the link is located.
said,
I have the same issue all of a sudden with IE 8 and Win 7 32bit runnning in a networked environment. I worked with Microsoft support for a whole day registering dll's, uninstalling and re-installing IE 8 and .net framework downloads. Re-setting IE8 to initial install config, running IE8 without add-ons, updating java, etc. Nothing worked and they are stumped. I did notice however if I logged in as another user on the same computer the links worked in IE8. That would suggest a profile corruption however I created a new fresh profile for me on the same machine and logged in again and the same problem of links not working occured. Just a week earlier things worked great so we also tried a system restore to that time frame when the links worked but the issue is still unresolved. The ticket is escalated to MS tier 2 support so if they come up with a fix I'll let everyone know. I am pretty sure re-imaging a computer with this problem will fix it but that is an extreme measure and time consuming to reload everything again so that is a last resort.
said,
I have the fix! Microsoft was unable to provide me with a fix before I found one myself. The issue is caused by DCOM settings that are incorrect. Follow the steps below and links will work again in IE8. win 7 and vista. Good luck
Open “DCOMCNFG” to open up the Component services
Expand ‘component services’ and ‘computers’ and right hand click on ‘properties’
This would open the properties for My Computer and click on “Default Properties”
Ensure that
Default Authentication Level is
“Connect”
Default Impersonation Level is
“Identify”

Well. That didn't work either.
| Amiga Web Browsers Still Not So Great |
· Krehbiel Tech · Saturday, May 9, 2009, 8:04 PM · 267 words
One of the reasons we all had to leave the Amiga behind as our main PC was the inability of the tiny Amiga developer community to keep up with the armies of Windows developers and consumer demand.
| Incorrect usage of SUBQUERY and feature is disabled |

I just looked at my home page to find it reporting a database error. “Incorrect usage of SUBQUERY and feature is disabled by allow_view_trigger_sp_subquery in /etc/my.cnf”.

Yay, Eclipse! I'm getting ready to host a Java brown bag at work. I plan to convince everyone to drop .Net and switch. Then we'll take over the world!
said,
Hmm, I added a comment. it isn't showing. you've got a lot of work to do :)
said,
Comments are back! I routinely delete "brown bag lunch" emails from my employer at work. :) Besides, aren't you scared Oracle is going to wreck Java??
said,
I don't think Oracle will ruin Java. They have been a long time supporter and early adopter. I'm willing to bet they won't change anything about how it evolves. I've got the impression JCP works pretty well.
| Lessons Learned from the New Blog Platform |

Recently I upgraded the software running my home page. I spent a fair amount of time adding a feature I called “nano posting,” which was essentially a way to insert Twitter-style updates into the stream of posts. In the intervening time I’ve discovered that I don’t much like my implementation of that feature.
