MinerGate.com Review - Mixed Emotions

2/3/2018 6:44:00 AM -- Ted Krapf

During the 2017 Q3 Crypto-boom, I finally decided to look into cryptomining.  I understood it at a very high level, but had never gone past understanding it conceptually.  As with any good project, I first started with research.  I wanted to know things such as: Is it worth it? What kind of hardware do I ideally need? What hardware can I get away with to get my feet wet? What coins can be mined, which cannot? ...

IIS7 FTP 530 Home Directory Inaccessible SOLVED!

12/1/2014 10:53:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

So this post is definitely going to fall into the "rants" category of my blogging.   I can't tell you the number of times that I've attempted to setup Microsoft's IIS FTP services.  IIS6, IIS7, IIS7.5.  Now, don't get me wrong, if you want a simple FTP site so you can maybe publish web content or simply have one user account, it's a quick solution without adding any software to your box.  But the second you even start to think about user directory isolation - RUN....

Oh Silly Hyphen - Prevent Line Break on Hyphen

4/29/2013 7:27:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Here's a cool thing I learned today.  I had an issue where a customer's webpage contained a word that required a hyphen to be grammatically correct: pre-plated.  The word pre-plated appeared at the end of a line in a set width column.  Internet Explorer would render the word on two lines instead of one.  This would also happen when zoom levels other than 100% were set in other browsers and/or when the responsive design would kick in. In other words, the sentence format...

Combine Excel Documents Using C#

3/15/2013 12:47:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

A client yesterday had a common problem, "Ted I have 100+ Excel documents that I need to be able to quickly search through, and I'd like to combine all those work books into a single .xlsx file so that I can just search in one document." Sounds simple enough right?  The first thing we tried together was scouring the web for a VBA script to do this.  Seems simple, get a list of the files in a directory, open each doc, and copy and paste its contents into the main docume...

Stupid chain letter spam

2/6/2013 3:51:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Infrequently I love getting chain letter spam, so that I can read through it, pick it apart, and then reply to the 100+ people that I was not BCC'd with.  Note the use of "infrequently".   It's bad enough to get spam, but to get it directly from family members?  Plus the fact that my email address is then shared with 100 other friendly spammers because even after repeated attempts to explain the BCC feature, it doesn't get used.  Sigh....   I thought I'd share my latest rant.  Enjoy!<...
