I haven't been around here much in the last few years, but this post is me a) asking for help, by b) offering somebody the chance to earn some decent cash. I'm leaving my current employment, and they have a big project which needs building; therefore, they need to find somebody who can do it...

OK, this isn't going to be a detailed post. Just thought I'd say...I've seen the light. Everybody's been avoiding Debian Etch for x years 'cos it was just too damn out of date. Well, Lenny's fixed that. It's so much faster than Ubuntu. Seriously - Iceweasel/Firefox launches in a fraction of the...

OK, so I got me a new E5200, MSI P35 Neo and 4GB OCZ RAM. So, I put it all together, and it won't boot. No beeps, nothing. Connections checked, jumpers checked, reset BIOS - it starts up, fans whirring, then dead after about 5 seconds. Then it comes back to life, and dies again. On the third...

Well, after a bunch of updates hosed my Feisty installation, I figured I'd have a go with Gutsy Tribe 5 - I didn't really have any expectations of keeping it on my machine, but why not eh? In fact, I made life as difficult as possible by going for the 64-bit version. It's actually gone...

OK, it's been a while since I posted here but I'm hoping you guys can help. I've searched and searched on this, but I haven't managed to find much in the way of useful info which works. Basically, I've just started a new job and their online system is based around ASP and VB COM+ components in...

Can anyone help me out here? I've just picked up an Arescom NetDSL 800 router for my sins, and now I'm trying to get a route out the door. I've finally managed to get it to authenticate, and now I'm having more routing troubles. The routing table is currently configured as : NetDSL>show ip...

OK, guys, help me out here. I'm building a basic CMS for a friend, and I'm a complete dunce when it comes to design. Take a look at : http://www.badkitty.org/ It's very plain. Clean, but plain. I know I need some sort of title header....I'm trying to make a decent graphic to go there. Any...

Has anyone tried the new Express tools from MS for .NET v2? If you haven't, take a look at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express and grab yourself a free beta copy. I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of them (in particular, Web Dev Express). I'm playing with it and it seems pretty...

Hi all, My host's being a little awkward at the moment, and won't help me get my site set up until the DNS records have updated (apparently they can't even look at it until then....HOSTS file anyone?). Basically, I've got their JSP/Servlets package, and I'm trying to get the Java side of...

Guys, I've got a Soltek K8AV2-RL board, which works fine with the 2x256MB KingMax PC3500 I've got installed. However, I need more memory for the stuff I'm doing right now (fairly heavy Java development), and I've managed to pick up 2x512MB Samsung PC2100 ECC. In the past (with other boards)...

Guys, could you take a look @ http://www.badkitty.org and tell me what I'm doing wrong? The layout looks absolutely perfect in Mozilla/Firefox, but it's just plain wrong in IE. Bear in mind the following : The frameset isn't my fault...it's the hosting arrangement (temporary). I'm a CSS...

Right, this is one for all you Java nuts out there. I'm currently writing a forum app in Java/Struts, and I'm trying to decide how to structure my data access. I've got all my base objects, and I was thinking about writing a separate set of DAO classes using to expose static methods which I can...

OK guys, I'm a self-confessed Eclipse kinda guy when it comes to Java. However, my machine's given up on Eclipse entirely, so I'm heading toewards NetBeans. However, I don't get it....it just doesn't seem intuitive to me. The basic premise here is that I'm writing a web-based app in Java...

OK, I know MS says that the themes service is disabled in the XP 64-bit beta/eval but since when has that stopped any of us? I'm slowly getting there with it, but I could do with a bit of help - I'm not too knowledeable on implementing services under XP. Here's what I have so far ...

OK, I think I screwed the pooch here. I blew my entire budget on an A64 3000+ and Soltek motherboard (not much of a budget), and a SATA 80GB drive (will hold 3 OSs - XP, XP64 and some 64-bit flavour of Linux). Only thing is, I've only got 512MB PC3500 kicking around....can anyone see this being...

What's your view on AS Ceramique? I've read a lot of reviews that say it's not worth the tube it's packaged in, but I got a bit of a shock today. Thought I'd try it just for sh!ts and giggles, and I went from ~55 deg C idle with plain ol' white goop to 36 with Ceramique (and an extra 200MHz into...

OK, I'm after a critique here, not of a layout but of technology and architectures. The company I recently started work for are building systems for the govt which have been decided to be open source. The platform is JSP/Servlets (using the Struts framework), with Hibernate as the middleware...

I just got hold of a mobile P4 1.6GHz CPU on eBay for £5, after reading that it can be used in a desktop board without a huge amount of effort. Basically, I just wanna hear from some of you guys if I need to do anything odd to it before it'll work. I've picked up a board which supports 533...

OK, guys, let's try a simpler one (since nobody replied to my previous post about a web service adapter). I can successfully query a web service (using Google API as the example). The only trouble is that I can't get at the actual XML response because the Axis web service client is trying to...

OK, boys and girls, here's a challenge for you. Well, it's kickin my ass, anyway. I'm trying to write a generic service adapter that will take a request from a client for a particular service, choose the appropriate client (either a web service or a database service) and then translate the...
