Posted on November 25, 2009

Ever had your Upgrade Advisor return an error while upgrading an instance of SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005?

UpgradeAdvisor returned -1 .

I have, in two different circumstances,

Integra AP Racing Big Brake Upgrade

Posted on November 24, 2009

Finally, after months of waiting, my custom AP Racing brake kit arrived.

I had the kit made because there wasn't anything out there that really suited me and my 96 spec. This kit allows me to have 295mm discs, so better than a 98 spec upgrade immediately, wider discs so more heat dispersion, lighter overall and most importantly I can run them under 15" wheels with no spacers. Unfortunately not OEM wheels, so look out for them in the for sale section!

The Beauty of Old Code

Posted on November 12, 2009

A client of mine needed a quick image upload feature to a custom administration app. We have jQuery and AJAX and all sorts of modern niceness. Screw that.

Bring back PEAR's HTTP_Upload. Its ancient, but justified, if you install the Stable version it was last updated 11-08-2004, five whole years ago.

NTLM Authentication on Ubuntu and Apache2 Revisited

Posted on November 4, 2009

It's been a while since I've had to build an NTLM integrated Apache2 server.
So I thought I'd take help from Ubuntu's packages and install LAMP from there like most people seem to be doing these days.

Once all that is up and running, you will need to download mod_ntlm_winbind. Its an ancient package I complied years ago from the samba source tree, good news is it still works.
