• While at the Windows 8 Start menu Search for Internet Options
• Select Settings on the right hand side

• When the internet option window appears
  
• Navigate to the program tab

• Change the Choose how to open links settings. I set mine to always open on the desktop.

The code snippets looked like:

{code:csharp|title=C#}
//C# Code
{code}
{code:vbnet|title=vb.net}
//VB.NET Code
{code}


For testing purposes I was using the simplest Regex I could think of {code:(.+?){code}. After playing around it became obvious that it was not matching over multiple lines. This makes sense because the ‘ .’ character  matches every character except /n/r

Well it turns out you want to enable SingleLineMode not MultiMode.  I know I know makes a ton of sense.

Lesson learned. Read the documentation.

Extra Bonus: If you want to quickly test .NET regular expressions with all these options. I found I like http://derekslager.com/blog/posts/2007/09/a-better-dotnet-regular-expression-tester.ashx

UPDATE TableToUpdate, TableToPullInfoFrom
SET
TableToUpdate.col1 = TableToPullInfoFrom.col1,
TableToUpdate.col2 = TableToPullInfoFrom.col2,
TableToUpdate.col3 = TableToPullInfoFrom.col3,
TableToUpdate.col4 = TableToPullInfoFrom.col4
WHERE TableToPullInfoFrom.id = TableToPullInfoFrom.id

And I will just leave this here so I don’t make that mistake again.

So I made a bet with my girlfriend to keep us both motivated and working on our site. We both looked at our site statistics and found the busiest month that we had and are going to see who can double their traffic the fastest.

Now we both target very different audiences so we didn’t bet anything huge but the loser of the challenge has to buy the winner dinner (hopefully a very nice one! Since it is dinner with my girlfriend I guess we both win either way).

My busiest month was May 2011 with 6,161 views.

So my goal is to get 12,322 views in a month.

I am quite excited about this, as my blog tends to be very technical articles or tutorials this will hopefully force me to start researching and writing about some new technologies.  At the same time I am going document various strategies I use to raise the traffic of my site by focusing not only on new content, but also SEO and marketing tactics.

Let the challenge begin!

Sorry!

The Application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please Try Again.

The only option available was Force Close, and soon as that was pressed the message would appear again.

I tried the solutions listed at http://myhtcdesire.com/tutorials/fix-the-application-htc-sense-process-com-htc-launcher-has-stopped-unexpectedly, if the directions on that site work all the better, however if you are in the same boat as me those directions did not work.

My Problem:

On my phone I did have any way of getting to the search, nothing on screen, and no buttons would work.  Just hitting force close brought the force close option up instantly again and I had no time to do anything. So how did I get into the settings menu?

How I got into the settings menu:

The only way I was able to get was to do a factory reset though the boot menu.

You can perform a factory reset by (second half of this video) restarting the phone while holding the volume button down.  This will cause you to boot into your factory menu where you can select factory reset.

Once the factory reset gave me more time to react before the error popped up. Once the reset was done I was prompted with an introductory video all about my phone. I went through all the prompts until my home screen was loading. Right away before anything loaded I pushed and held on the home screen. This caused the option to add a shortcut to the home screen. I was able to add a shortcut to settings and get to it that way.

After that I was able to clear the data to go to Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > and Clear Data. However this did not fix it for me. Instead I had to clear data on all my
applications until I found the one that was causing the problem.

Did this post save your expensive phone from being a paper weight? Did it save you hours of fustration? Consider buying me a coffee!

The solution was to go into the solution explorer in Visual Studio, select the files that there not being copied, and set the build action to content for those files.

The Error:

Cannot import the following key file: <filename>.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the following key container name: VS_KEY_ E2AEBF22AB52DD08    <Application Name>

The Fix:

1. Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (It can be found in the Windows Start menu)
2. Type sn -i “c:\Pathtofile\<filename>.pfx” TVS_KEY_ E2AEBF22AB52DD08
3. Reimport the pfx file into Visual Studio

The sn.exe with the –i parameter, installs a key pair from <infile> into a key container named <container>.

Recently I was working on a customers computer and when loading a page with a flash video on it, the video would crash.The following message was displayed in the system tray.

Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.

The machine I was working on was a Dell Inspiron n5010 with a ATI mobility Radeon HD 5470 video card running Windows 7 x64bit. After all the normal troubleshooting and making sure I had the most up -to-date drivers I still had the issue. I ended up coming up with the following solution.

The solution:

Disable Hardware acceleration by right clicking on any flash video, going to settings and unchecking enable hardware acceleration.

I hope this saves someone a head ache.
