Overheating either on the CPU (reseating heatsink), or perhaps the power supply as you say. we had the first and my son got some gloop and reseated the heatsink. We recorded the temp before and after and that's how we determined it. I can't remember the program but there are some free ones that r

Training/Mentoring a developer who doesn't seem to use many modern development productivity tools

Guys I wonder if I can ask for some advice please. I'm currently leading a project with a developer who originally came from a Delphi background but has been using visual studio (C++ and C#) for a few years now. However I'm finding that she doesn't seem to have much experience of many of the produ

replicating the functionality of openssl command line using openssl.net

Hi there, I'm in a bit of a rabbit warren of research and am basically lost. I need to determine if a server supports a particular version of TLS programmatically. I can determine it using the openssl tool with the command: openssl.exe s_client -connect someServerName:995 -tls1_1 But I've no

SHA1 & SHA2 and WCF Services in Azure

If I have a hosted WCF service in Azure, at some point MS will stop allowing SHA1 encrypted sessions with said service. I'm trying to get a handle on when this is likely. I know that at the end of the year various browsers will stop people connecting to SHA1 only compliant sites, but I'm not so su

Friday Rant (today!)

Is it just me or is WIX just just a complete utter PITA? The documentation is appalling. It's basically incomplete and what's there is spread out all over the web. I know the issue is that the underlying MSI infrstructure is the real problem but I'm just going to rant about WIX. Preet
