Reading memo fields in Access using asp and ado
as a reminder to myself really, in access 2000 there is now a memo field these can only be read once from the ado recordset in asp. The second time the field will be null, ie if you do the following…
<%= myRS("linkname") %>
<%= myRS("linkname") %>
twice the second one doesnt return anything as it loses the field contents, I believe this is by design
CSS and Accomodating different browsers
the same old problem, using css different things appear in different places. The solution you have to trick some of the browsers so you can use different css tags – this is one of the best sites I have seen for a long time documenting the features of each browser.

Undefined reference to errno with make of checkpassword
On some flavours of linux errno is a macro rather than an int so you need to alter the error.h file for it to compile
You need to do the following….
mv error.h error.h.orig
sed -e ‘s/extern int errno;/#include
Just got into the VOIP world here….
Right this is the what I got up to on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Looked at vonage http://www.vonage.co.uk and asked them twice before launching into it if I could use my own hardware and both times yes and yes.
Bought my own hardware which is a Cisco ATA 186 £80 ish trade price. Then signed up for vonage and they then said oh no you cant use your own hardware as its chipped especially for their network !! I must say be afraid of this company all customer services in America and tech support is either India or America and its a real pain trying to ask them anything.
so ummed and arghed do I just get their router etc and thought no I would cancel it, luckily I did as after 14 days you have to pay to get off their subscription service.
So then found sipgate http://www.sipgate.co.uk and that was good especially as they have a 1/2p a minute plan but couldnt make any outgoing calls to the pstn network. Still ongoing with them as they are not sure its them yet, but something is funny. Just email support which isnt that hot.
So then looked up gradwell http://www.gradwell.co.uk and all worked out of the box first time no probs crystal clear but they charge 1.25p a minute and after initial 3 months its £4 a month which isnt too bad. But you can ring these guys up and talk over any support issues which is excellent.
Oh one other thing I couldnt get my old bt handset to work with the cisco kit so bought a new bt phone and that still didnt work so then as I knew our bang & olufsen worked bought another of them at £200 but it just needs a phone that has power on the line as the bt phones get their power from the analogue line, I think thats what the problem was.
And thats it, then your in the voip world
The project you are trying to open is a web project you need to open it by specifying its URL path
The famous error “The project you are trying to open is a web project you need to open it by specifying its URL path” in visual studio .net. Basically you have either lost your .webinfo file or your .webinfo file is pointing to the wrong project or wrong place.
Took me a while to figure it out but hope that helps someone. Hopefully the source code provider isnt so buggy in Visual Studio 2005.
More of Scruffy – couldnt resist
Took this really nice picture of Scruffy today while at lunch.
He looks so contented now its the summer, out in the garden. And him teasing ‘Mia the doggy’ and then having a scratch on the tree.
