My Fixes

It's a small set, but my "technical fixes" seem to be quite popular, at least according to traffic from search engines. Information is automatically listed below with the most recently updated (or commented-on) content first. I've expanded things beyond a strict sense of "fixing problems" to include "hacks" -- life hacks, hardware hacks, etc. -- since the joy of finding solutions is not always in a "fix" context.

You can add comments to the "fix" pages via Disqus. This is best if you have a better approach or other refinement. If you have a question instead, contact me directly.

About my fixes
These fixes are mostly intended to document for my future reference – and for anyone else who cares – solutions I've worked out to various problems I've come across in developing a variety of computer systems (Web-based or otherwise). These aren't intended to be cool, clever, elite, secret, or anything else. It's just information that you may or may not find useful.

Any "fix" that is listed as "Unresolved" is a problem I'm still working on. If you have tips to resolve them, please send them my way.

Fixes from other people...
If I run across a useful fix for a problem, written up by somebody else, I may add links to them here. To get started, here are a few (not hosted on my site, and each opens a new window):
