How to Use HTTP/Radio/Anything Behind a Proxy or Firewall

Proxy firewalls and content filters are both good & evil things; they can prevent you from making a bad mistake, or bad mistakes happening to you. However, sometimes it might be useful to punch through a proxy or firewall.  Whether it might be for your youtube fetish, listening to internet radio, or uploading images/media into WordPress successfully (or you are a proxy admin and you want to prevent this sort of thing), this article on pushing connections through a firewall may be suitable for you.

Caveat: Doing things like this can be against your proxy provider’s policies. You are responsible for your own actions. This article is for educational purposes only!

System administrators and network security personnel: pay close attention to this article!

Should I Buy An iPhone 3G?

Published by

August 21, 2008 in Polls. 6 Comments

Ok folks, we need to make a decision to buy a new iPhone 3G or not, and we would like your help and input. The iPhone 3G seems like a great phone but based on circumstances, we need to know if it will be worth it.

Now, I know at least some of you readers out there have made the plunge; you have purchased the iPhone 3G (we also know that not all of you were brand spanking new customers to AT&T or were ready for the 2 year upgrade, so maybe you are/were in the same boat that we are in). I need to know from those of you who have the iPhone 3G, if it’s really worth it.

Read our dilemma and cast your vote or leave a comment!

Problem:

You have some program that needs to access some data sources that are managed by JBoss and accessed via JNDI, but when you start that program, it can’t find that JNDI reference or you get a javax.naming.NoInitialContextException with the message “Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file:  java.naming.factory.initial”

IE6/IE7 Anchor Y-Axis Border And Padding Fix

Published by

August 5, 2008 in CSS. 0 Comments

Problem:

Internet Explorer truncates and does not display any vertical padding nor top and bottom borders on an inline element, such as an anchor, inside of a table cell.  Firefox and Safari display correctly without any problems.

Here is an example situation where we want to style an anchor tag with some padding inside of a table cell…

Well, we expect to see some border on all sides of the anchor tag with some gray background; however, as we open it in IE, we see… WHAT?!?!… the top and bottoms are gone?!?! See below…

Interviewing...

After years of sitting on either side of that ever-dreaded interview table (and giving an interview to a horrible candidate today), I figured it was about time to enumerate some things that I have found useful.

:twisted: Interview-er: (The Bad Guy)

  • Prepare your questions beforehand. Don’t look like an idiot.
  • Have a set schedule and constrained time-frame.  Don’t waste your time nor the interviewee’s.
  • Create a personal atmosphere to bring out the “true” interviewee …

Flower Delivery

Give Them Something Special

  • Maybe it’s time to stop sending gift cards and ugly sweaters to people on those special occasions and holidays.

  • Maybe you know someone in the hospital or is depressed that could use a thoughtful pick-me-up.
