The Shepherd Epstein Hunter Architects Telegraph Fantasy Football results, 2006-2007

The Shepherd Epstein Hunter (SEH) Architects Fantasy Football league for 2006 to 2007 finished as below. We didn’t quite make it to 1st place in the end, finishing second (which I blame almost entirely on Ashley Cole). Still, given the distance we were behind in 4th place at Christmas I can’t complain that much, and …

Petition to: Listen to cyclists and not approve the revised highway code.

Petition to: Listen to cyclists and not approve the revised highway code.

The new proposed Highway Code will apparently make it compulsory for cyclists to use cycle-specific facilities rather than roads wherever they’re available. Knowing the state of some of the cycle lanes I’m faced with I don’t see this as sensible and hence have signed the petition to have the new highway code rejected by MPs. …

FCKEditor and 500 server image browser error in asp.net

FCKEditor and 500 server image browser error in asp.net

The apparently XML derived “500 server error” problem with FCKEditor’s image upload tool and asp.net seems very common, and there seem to be half a million different confusing solutions on the web.

Camping in Padstow

Camping in Padstow

I was camping in Cornwall with the Sainsbury Clan over Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend. It really wasn’t the best time for it, as this picture of our tent as it looked when we came back to it on a very windy Sunday afternoon shows: We decided to call it quits at that point and pack …

Eurovision 2007

Eurovision 2007

The Eurovision Song Contest 2007 is over and despite a low turnout (at our place, of course, not in total as apparently over 10 million people watched it in the UK) it was still quite excellent. The quality of the songs was as variable as usual, although certainly not as soul-destroying as has been in …

Events and postback with dynamic ASP.Net user controls

I’ve been trying to build an editable organisation chart for an intranet project and have built up a structure of nested dynamic user controls. This was all working well for displaying the information but wasn’t working so well for posting back and registering events. A bit of Googling later and I found this article on …

Firefox failing file:// link protocol

Firefox failing file:// link protocol

Something I didn’t know (before now) is that Firefox won’t let you use the file:/// protocol link from within a web (i.e. http) environment. Or rather, anything linked to with file:/// won’t open. There is a local machine fix detailed here but it looks like for my intranet app I’m going to have to find …
