  1. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Yep, I wasn't especially clear on that. I am aware there's an ability to work around this (and assume this is the reference). I meant a 'supported' configuration option, perhaps one that optionally submits sites for review to include in the official whitelist...

  2. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    You can add sites to the flash whitelist, There is a whole thread on the xda forums about it. I tested it myself and it does indeed work. How long the loophole stays open for is the big question

    It was late at night, so this post probably wasn't the greatest/most coherent .. but changing the page file minimum and maximum setting to Recommended definitely seems to have made a substantial and noticeable difference, and I've now had a few confirmations...

  4. Windows 8 RT Phone - what do you plan? - AuTechHeads Blogs

    I agree Matt. The push towards "If you can't do something in Metro, just switch across to Explorer" will fail horribly on a touchscreen tablet or RT device. I can't imagine running OS X on an iPad, it would be terrible. But for people that want a device to...

    Thanks for this post. I too was debating if it was worth bringing my laptop along to the sessions, good to see I won't be alone when doing so.

  8. How to add your KMS keys for Windows 8 and Server 2012 - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Is also worth noting that you MUST have SP1 installed. Because our KMS server was on a dedicated VM, it somehow got missed on our patching cycle (we basically forgot it existed). We soon found out when we got the "This update is not applicable to your setup...

  9. Windows To Go - AuTechHeads Blogs

    It's actually an SSD drive with a USB interface. I dare say that supporting any USB is too risky due to the high failure rates of crappy USBs, which in turn won't look good for Microsoft.

Windows DNS server behaviour

Windows DNS server is often much maligned and scoffed at. Although there's no doubt some justification for that, it's typically a necessary evil for your Windows-based corporate network for Active Directory operation. Unfortunately, I've just encountered a behaviour I probably wouldn't have expected, which made an outage more severe than strictly required. Possibly a useful heads up for admins.

Resellers: Parasites or your best friend who sells you stuff?

With the announcements about the budget out now, what is there to celebrate from an end user's perspective? will you have enough budget to buy the power workstation you need to help you develop really cool code for a new website?

Securing your application. Part 1 - Securing your connection

I guess this is one of my pet hates/loves - too often i come across applications that makes it's database connection strings freely available to anybody who knows where to look.

As a junior developer, the main focus is generally just to secure the connection string and leave it at that - the IT guys knows what they're doing. But, untold amount of data is being transfered across domains, networks or even in the public, without any thought for how that data is secured.

I'm sure many that's worked in the finance industry (banking anyone) is aware of how important it is to secure that data...we're dealing with money here, so it's an obvious fact that it needs to be safe.

So, how do we do it? or do we care? i mean, the famous last words of any application exposed to the public is "it wouldn't happen to me, right?".
