Macs Suck

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:18:24 GMT

I keep getting the same "Well I have a mac and can't send a report this comment message 2 u..." When I ask Mac enthousiast, they deny there's a problem with mailto links in Safari. What's up? Can anybody give me the story here? It's my most common user problem these days.

More specifically, it has to do with mailto links that have the subject URI request parameter. For some reason the subject request parameter doesn't work in Safari or so most all my users claim. I don't have a Mac to test this with.

When you are IBM, it's not hard to sell software. But when you are Joe, then you should read this. This blogger explains how he's selling software at $20,000 a pop to big companies. I might read it 10 times myself.

Permanent Redirect Entire IIS Website

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:37:22 GMT

Today, my project was to redirect the entire http://reblinks.therssweblog.com site to http://www.reblinks.com. A quick Google and the solution is built into IIS. Read the source for a detailed explanation.

Go into the IIS site properties for the domain you're moving from. In the "Home Directory" tab, click the option "A redirection to a URL".
In the Redirect to box, enter the domain you wish to move to (no trailing slash), plus $S$Q - for example, http://www.developerfusion.com$S$Q
Next, check the options that state the client will be sent to "The exact URL entered above", and "A permanent redirection for this resource"
