I had an issue where I was creating vanity URL's for an application.  The issue was that when we did this the Mach II Dashboard would no longer work.  Below is what we had in our Apache config file:

RewriteRule ^/([^/\.]+)$ /index.cfm?event=url&url_name=$1 [PT]

After a great deal of trial and error the solution (as usual) was very simple.  We just needed to create an exception ...

This is an interesting story from yesterday.  Will Google play by it's own rules? Will Google be forced to ban its own browser from its index?

Don't you just love Internet Explorer?  I love the development tools which are of virtually no help other than throwing a javascript error that is so broad it basically means: "you have an error in some javascript somewhere in some file" Wow...thanks!  That was very helpful.

I was recently working on a project for a client and needed to use Jquery's getJson() function with Jsonp.  I had tried this in the past but kept getting 'parseerror' responses and could not really figure out what was going on.  I had pasted my json code into the json validator and it said that it was valid.  The documentation on Jquery's website was pretty sparse.   It took me a ...

I was working on the Facebook Request API and found that when I close the popup and don't invite anyone I was getting an error that

<pre>Response was undefined</pre>

I initially tried to see if the variable was empty and that didn't work.  I stumbled upon this gem the typeof operator and this was magic.  Now I can check to see if the response ...

I recently got into paddle boarding. I try to get out at least three times a week and I have found some great, uncrowded spots around town. However, the one issue that I had when starting out was how to carry a 12 foot long SUP on my Jeep. I purchased a roof rack with my board from SUP ATX and after experimenting with a few ways to strap it on ...

I have rarely had the opportunity to meet a celebrity but this weekend was incredible. A group of friends went down to Corpus this weekend for some fun and while at a bar downtown (I don't remember the name of it) we met an up and coming UFC fighter, Shawn 'Cool Hand' Keenan. It was pretty funny as the buzz around the bar was amazing. He pretty much had the ...

About three weeks ago Google changed something so that you had to switch accounts each time you logged in to your email account. Personally I have 5 different gmail accounts so it was a total pain. I used to have them each open in their own tab. I posted something about it a while back.

Well, a very wise man, Chuck Wade, found the solution and of course it was very ...

For some reason when I upgraded to Lion my permissions really got fouled up. It wreaked havoc on Tower and has been a real pain in the arse.

So, what happened? Well, if you look at the permissions for just about any file it has the following:

kwfricke (me) : read & write
everyone: read

That is all good. The problem is that there is an additional 'everyone' ...

I have been using Putty for the last several years and after switching to mac was looking for something equivalent. Of course, with a mac...it's simple. First, launch Terminal. To login to your server, type the following: ssh [address] -l [login name] You will then be prompted for your password and your in.
