I've been playing around with my site again. Trying to work out the beauty of my urls. I thought they looked pretty good... Well, similar to what I'm used to from BlogCFC anyway. The urls were like this: www.owenwebs.com/index.php/xxxx/xxx/xxx etc.. Which is not too bad... Better than the default: owenwebs.com/?p=13 or something silly like that. But, I've seen them better around the web. And made it a goal to get mine to work that way also. After a bunch of Google-ing I found several … [Read more...]
Google Chrome: ooh, shiney!
Last night I downloaded and installed Google's new browser, Chrome. I plan on putting it through the ringer today and will, if possible, use it as my primary browser. My initial impressions are pretty positive. The download is simple and quick. There is a 400ish kilobyte installer that you download and run. That installer then brings down the rest of the browser. All in all download took about a minute or less.(that's saying something as my internet is terribly slow). When the … [Read more...]

Windows 2003 Server does not stream FLV videos
I was having some trouble today getting a flash file to work. I was trying to stream a FLV (Flash video) file and although it was working great on my local machine it would not stream when I loaded it up on my server. The SWF file would play, well.. the controls would come up but the file wouldn't stream.. I waisted a lot of time moving files around and re-making before I found this. Like always, thought I'd share.. Issue: When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV … [Read more...]

CFX_PFPro_Java Download – Finally
I've been pulling my hair out for a few days looking for the Coldfusion CFX tag for PayFlow Pro. I'm moving/upgrading a customer's webstore and the old cfx tag would not work on the new server's CF installation. So I had to get a more current tag. Only, PayPal no longer supplies the Coldfusion SDK and they don not have access to any older versions!?!?! But, thanks to a very helpful person on the CFWebstore yahoo group I was directed to Apok-Technology. They had a copy of the tag and supplied … [Read more...]
Moving a SSL to a new Server (IIS 6.0)
Ever had to move an SSL to a new server? Well I have and, I can never remember the steps. I end up spending and hour or so just looking it up on the web so I can accomplish this 5 minute task. It's pathetic really. But, once you get them installed moving them is not something that you do everyday. So, I've decided to use my site to hold these directions for the next time I SPAZZ out. Maybe they will be of some use to someone else? Step 1: Create a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) … [Read more...]
