Paul WhiteToday as I was working on my blog, I noticed a google ad that was advertising Colocation and Dedicated Servers. I just happen to be in the market for such products, so naturally I clicked the ad to learn more. What I found made ma laugh. Its obvious that the managers of the datacenter, don't have a clue when it comes to IT.

Paul WhiteIf you are running Windows Server 2008, and IIS 7. Then the chances are you might have seen this mystery error. The remote host closed the connection. The error code is 0x80070057. After reading multiple forums, I have found the solution.
So if your event viewer is full of errors like this
Base:System.Web.HttpException: The remote host closed the connection. The error code is 0x80070057.

After some thinking about SSD hard drives, and looking for a logical reason to upgrade to them in my system, I have finally found the reason. Conservation is the name of the game.

Paul WhiteAfter parking some of my larger websites on Godaddy's Dedicated Servers about a month ago. I have found where Godaddy is weak. To say the least By Nov 1st I plan to shutdown my godaddy Dedicated Server, and move them to a colocated box with a local Data Center here in Houston.

Paul WhiteThis was a question I asked myself recently. Its hard to believe that there are still people out there that don't accept HTML formatted emails. But do mail servers from major providers punish emails that don't provide some old school plain text formatting for the 5 people in the world who are still get their email via compuserve? So I will be experimenting to find out.

Every photographer eventually finds themselves in a dark place ( nightclub, concert, bar ) trying to get some cool photos. But we get home only to find all our shots were under or over exposed. This is the time when you realize that you didn't spend grands on your camera body to take pictures in AUTO mode. After trial and error and reading multiple blogs, and forums, I have found the perfect settings for great nightclubs photos from your SLR camera.

Recently I moved a few of my clients to Godaddy. Even though I hear lots of bad things about godaddy, my websites are running faster than they had been running on HostMySite. Turns out that this speed increase might have more to do with PING times than the hardware they were hosted on.

Tonight I went down to Rebels Honky Tonk ( No thats not my ride front and center ), to take some pictures for the website. All I am going to say is a lot of work went into this club. I recommend everyone who likes a friendly atmosphere to check this place out. Read this blog for the full review.

Paul WhiteIf you have ever ran into the problem of having your floated elements not line up correctly in IE6, and you have already tried all the other suggestions like display:inline; clear:both; position:relative; I have a solution, although you may not like it.

Paul WhiteThere come a time when every developer plays an game of cat and mouse with CSS. Its not so much the CSS but figuring out how to make it look the same in IE 6, as IE 7 and Firefox. Well I came across one of these moments tonight. Very interesting discovery.
