CubeCart Tax Classes on Product Page
A client of mine sells a mix of VAT and VAT exempt products via a CubeCart 4 store I setup.
Although CubeCart allows this and calculates the VAT right on the checkout process, it doesn't have any facility to show the customer which tax class the product falls into on the viewProd page.
Annoying.
Wordpress Wins CMS Award

Upgrading from SQL 2000 to 2005 Error -1
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,
- While choosing an instance from the installed instances and choosing one of them to upgrade.
- While running upgrade advisor exclusively.
Integra AP Racing Big Brake Upgrade
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!
Upgrade Ubuntu Dapper to Karmic
I found an old server at a clients site today that went down during a UPS outage last weekend. It turns out it was last rebooted 645 days ago. What a trooper! It was running Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake).
One too many Wordpresseseses
No wonder I have a head ache. locate wp-config.php | cat -n reports fifty Wordpress installs. If only WP-Mu was any good.
The Beauty of Old Code
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 for apt-get’ed Ubuntu
Following on from NTLM Authentication on Ubuntu and Apache2 Revisited this morning, this is how we modify the Apache2 configuration provided by apt in Ubuntu.
NTLM Authentication on Ubuntu and Apache2 Revisited
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.
