Drupal imagecache problems in IIS 7
Geplaatst door Daniel B. Roy op 16 February 2010
While migrating the site of one of our clients to a new server, I ran into a strange problem. The site is Drupal-based, and images coming from Drupal's imagecache were not always shown: all images with a filename containing spaces were broken, while other images were shown perfectly.
PuTTY with Windows 7 jumplist support
Geplaatst door Daniel B. Roy op 29 January 2010
One of Windows 7's neater additions is the jumplist (my Mac Fanboy co-workers would actually call this a 'stolen UI idea'). This is a really handy thing for PuTTY, because it would allow you to start a saved session directly, without having to start PuTTY first and then double-clicking the session. You would then have a type of shortcut to saved sessions and as an added bonus save one valuable mouse-click in the process. Also, by pinning items in the jumplist, this offers a recent and favorite sessions functionality. Since PuTTY is open source, I decided to download the code and add this functionality myself. The resultant new version of PuTTY is downloadable below.

Java implicit widening and narrowing conversions before autoboxing
Geplaatst door Daniel B. Roy op 2 December 2009
Just for fun, and to add several extra capitals to the end of my name, I decided to take the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam recently. I used this book to prepare which gets a BIG thumbs up. If you already know how to program and want a book that covers all topics, but can also double as a general reference work, this is your best choice. Being used to the extremely low standard of most MSPress exam prep books, this was a refreshingly intelligent and complete book, with some very challenging questions. Having studied the book, the exam was a breeze.

De meeste leaserijders kennen het gemak van een tankpas: zonder rompslomp tanken in bijna ieder tankstation in Nederland. In opdracht van Shell ontwikkelde INFI diverse applicaties om het testtraject van deze tankpassen te automatiseren.
How-To: MySQL as a linked server in MS SQL Server
Geplaatst door Daniel B. Roy op 12 May 2005
This document describes how to link a Microsoft SQL Server and a MySQL server by using the 'linked server' feature in SQL Server. After linking, tables on both servers can be referenced in one SQL query or stored procedure, with the MySQL database behaving as if it was a local SQL Server database.
This technique can be useful for synchronizing MySQL-driven web pages with data held locally in a Microsoft SQL Server. The document contains an example which uses triggers to automatically propagate any changes to the content of a SQL Server table to a linked MySQL table.
