<local:SomeBaseTypeYouWantToUse

Where SomeBaseTypeYouWantToUse is the class that you’d like to extend. Simple!

Update (6/3/2010):I ran into some weird problems with this hack that I was unable to resolve. If anyone ends up reading this, please let me know if this worked correctly for your application.

1. Change your DocumentRoot to the network share (drive remapping doesn’t seem to work).  Example: DocumentRoot “//path/to/share”
2. Make sure to update the DocumentRoot path in your <Directory> config
3. Edit the Apache service
1. On the “Log On’” tab, click the “Browse” button next to the “This account” radio button.
2. Type in an account name that has access privileges to the network share and click “OK”
3. Enter the correct password for the user
4. Restart Apache and LOL your way to the bank.

Rather than using my real name, I decided to do a search on one of my most commonly used Internet pseudo-names. Surprisingly, what came back was almost all me. In fact, the only non-me entry was for an entry in “Urban Dictionary” that, unsurprisingly, was not very flattering. Perhaps I angered this person and this was his or her revenge. Anyway, this ordeal got me thinking.

Unlike most others of my generation, I prefer to keep my online activity private from unknown onlookers. For example, I don’t use my real name for Facebook and Twitter. Yet, since the early days of the Internet, I’ve continually used the same pseudo-name for many of my activities. In some cases, my real name is even tied to my pseudo-name (oops!). Searching on this pseudo-name will provide you with several forum posts, lists of games that I’ve played, and even coding projects that I’ve been affiliated with. When I think about it, searching my pseudo-name provides a better picture of my life than my real name! Maybe I should start protecting my pseudo-name as much as I do for my real name.

For anyone that reads this, what does doing a vanity search on your Internet pseudo-name return?

According to another forum post, this is because Vista/7 does some goofy stuff with the ‘localhost’ alias. This person suggests that modifying the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file to contain the line ’127.0.0.1 localhost’ will fix the problem (make sure to do this as an administrator!). Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for me. However, it’s worth a shot for anyone experiencing this problem.

onclick="if(!SomeFunction(this)) return false;"

Some Notes:

• “SomeFunction” is a javascript function that returns true or false based on your criteria.
• On first inspection, I thougth that I could just call the funciton without wrapping it in what apppears to be a useless IF statement. However, for whatever reason, this IF statement is necessary to cancel the automatic postback.

If you read the WHS help wizard, you’re lead to believe that all you have to do is copy some magical “Windows Home Sever Restore Drivers” folder onto your flash drive. What the help doesn’t tell you is that this only works if your PC is running XP. The reason behind this is that the WHS restore wizard is based on a 32-bit OS (I’m assuming XP or Server 2003). Therefore, Vista/7 drivers (either 32 or 64 bit) won’t be recognized during the restore process.

1. Start up the machine to be restored
2. Work through the WHS restore process as normal
3. Upon failing, unplug the router
4. Click the back button in the WHS restore wizard
5. Continue the restore process
