Fedora Core 12

I have recently installed Fedora Core 12 on my server box. It was an upgrade from Fedora Core 9 and I had to do an intermediate upgrade from 9 to 10, since direct transition from 9 to 12 is not supported. Aside from this small annoyance the process went through very smoothly. It looks like Fedora Core 12 supports an "in place" upgrade mode, similar to recent version of Ubuntu. … more »

The worst broadband in the UK - Tiscali (now TalkTalk)

I have been using Tiscali (now TalkTalk) broadband services for more than 4 months. At the beginning everything was fine - I even was quite pleased with them, since they promised to connect me within 10 business days, but in fact I was on the Internet after just one week. But 2 and a half weeks ago the nightmare began. For whatever reason my Internet connection disappeared. I called the … more »

Drupal mobile theme

Drupal - a very popular open source CMS (Content Management System) - doesn't have a built-in support for mobile and handheld devices (PDAs). If you want to make your site more accessible to mobile users, your only option now is to have an additional "mobile" theme in your set-up, which would be very simple and lean, and somehow use it automatically when users access your site from small devices.

Restore window location in WPF

For years I was server-oriented developer, quite often writing code for Unix environment and helping others to do so. However I never mind doing occasional user-oriented application or two. Lately I've been doing a lot of .NET GUI development using WPF (Windows Presentation Framework). A small task seems to come up quite often. If you have a GUI application, you usually want it to start in the same state it … more »

Source code highlighting in Drupal

It is nice to be able to blog about software. For instance, a few years ago I wrote an article about web development using C++ . I still get a comment or two about it almost every week, despite the fact that not a single line of code has been written for the project, unfortunately.

Code generation in Visual Studio

I have never suspected that Microsoft had this built-in, but it appears to be the case. Code generator called T4 , which targets both C# or VB.NET, is built into your copy of Visual Studio and is available as you read this article. Basically, all you need is to add a new file to your solution with the extension more »
