Pass Additional ViewData to an ASP.NET MVC 4 Partial View While Propagating ModelState Errors September 10, 2012
ASP.NET MVC 4 In my ASP.NET MVC 4 partial view, I was having an issue where VaidationSummary and VaidationMessageFor were coming up blank. I scratched my head on this for quite some time. I finally came across this entry at the MVC forums at MSDN. It turns out I wasn’t passing the ViewData from parent… […]

Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Overdoing or: Extending an Amazon AWS CloudFormation Template May 29, 2012
The need for stability Meg’s sites, megbitton.com and soulsimagined.com have uptime requirements that far and away exceed those of mine. Almost the entirety of her business is predicated on a persistent Internet presence. As I’m sure you understand, a few minutes of downtime could lead to a belief that she’s no longer in business. This… […]

Seek and Ye Shall Find or: Why I Wrote an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Spotlight Importer May 10, 2012
What catalog is that file in? That’s what I hear often from my wife Meg; a professional photographer. Meg uses Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for cataloging the pictures she takes for her business as well as the pictures she take of our family.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder or: Performing an XSLT Transformation on the Server April 28, 2012
The MultiMarkdown ToC Do you ever feel like you’re never finished? I do, and I’m not happy with the fact that I haven’t been able to make Scrivener trigger the mmd-xslt script following a compile to MultiMarkdown HTML. Fine. As with the original XML epiphany, I knew there had to be code to perform an… […]

Au Contraire, Mon Frère or: Putting the ‘X’ in XHTML April 26, 2012
To snippet or not to snippet My last post spoke of the need to use a snippet of XHTML in order to include it in a WordPress Page. This rule was short-lived. Why am I recanting my story?

Necessity Is The Mother of Invention or: Updating a WordPress Page From a Sparse-Checkout of a Git Repo April 23, 2012
Learning I’ve been working on this app spec for weeks at work. In an effort to improve on what I’d accomplished, I reached out to my friend, and one of the smartest people I know, Peter Becan. I wanted him to teach me how to do it right. Peter’s been doing this sort of thing… […]

Import PDF into Visio 2007 February 22, 2010
I had a need to import some CAD drawings into my Visio document. The CAD drawings were provided to me as PDF documents. Visio has no native way to insert a PDF into a drawing. SnagIt to the rescue. Besides being an excellent app for making screenshots, it installs itself as a printer. Well, all… […]

I am working on a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) report that has differing row colors based on a value in each data row. The color value is defined in the database. When I initially created the report, each row had a variable background color but the foreground color was black. The first time… […]

Request Tracker RT_SiteConfig.pm February 28, 2009
Don’t forget when you update the RT_SiteConfig.pm file, you need to restart httpd. I was banging my head against the wall of this one until I had a moment of clarity.
