It appears that changing the Windows Vista default logon account or removing the auto-login completely is a tricky thing to do.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable auto-logon, select a default account for auto-logon, or turn off the auto-logon feature. 

In my quest for a rackmount KVM that would not break the bank, I came across a number of older Compaq KVMs that would exactly suit my needs. While I was looking at the KVM trying to figure out how much I wanted to pay for it, I realized that there were no buttons or any hardware means of selecting the computer that you were viewing. It all had to be done from OSD.

This tutorial will describe how to install Subversion with SSL web access onto a home server. Subversion is a great way to keep track of a number of projects and have widespread access to all of your files. It doesn't matter if you are the only person that will be accessing the repository and don't need all of the version control features, it is still a great way to keep an eye on your projects and make sure you have your information wherever and whenever you need it.

This tutorial uses Ubuntu Server 8.04 with Apache2, OpenSSL, and WebDAV. It assumes that you have a properly setup server including Apache and OpenSSL, at least a little Linux knowledge, and access to the Linux command prompt with sudo access. This tutorial is geared toward the home Linux server and assumes that your ISP blocks all incoming ports below 1024.

I had a bit of a panic moment this morning.  I tried to login to this site using the front-end login and was completely unable to do so. At that point, I was terrified; I was afraid that no one could login to the website to leave comments and such. I quickly logged in to the backend administrator area of the site and, thankfully, was able to easily get in.

So, I began troubleshooting.

This is going to start out as a rant and end as a mini-tutorial, so let's get started.

I hate explaining the php list() construct to programmers who should know how to use it. I'm well aware that there are many, many, many functions and constructs in php and there is no plausable way to know them all. But list(), I mean, come on. That is a basic one!

Let's work on the premise that we have a csv file with fields containing: First Name, Last Name, City, State, and Birthdate. In your php script you import that data and break it into an array of records called $records. How many times have you seen code that looks something like this:

As I sat at my day job, pounding away at the keyboard, a co-worker sent me a link to a comic that, honestly, just made my day. In my joy, I started thinking about all the people I could share the comic with, and I came up empty! It's computer humor and I don't know that many people that would get it ...

Anyway ... for all you Linux Users out there ... Don't you wish we had sudo in the real world!?!?!?

Enjoy.
