MX PTR keeps getting deleted.

Windows 2003 SBS

Having an issue with my mail PTR in reverse lookup zone. It keeps getting deleted. The Forward record stays just fine, its just the reverse record Im having a problem with.

Having a hard time locating anything on this via searches. But every time it goes away I have some issues with certain mails being undeliverable. The record properties is not checked to delete when record becomes stale. The TTL was set at the default :1 :00: 00 I just changed the days to 49710 (max) but have no idea if that will help anything.

Email issues arent my forte.

Computer Freezing with Duel SATA DVD-RW

Hey guys,
i recently just built my new PC:

1TB SATA
2x Sony DVD RW SATA
M2N68-VM
2GB DDR2 KINGSTON RAM
9800GT
860W A POWER PSU
AMD PHENOM 9950

The issue is every time i try to install anything from a DVD/CD the pc would freeze randomly during installation,i unplugged the second DVD RW turned on the PC and everything was fine and all applications were installing straight from a DVD.

setup was:

SATA1:HDD SATA2:DVD SATA3:DVD

now i removed all the cables and rearranged them into:
SATA1:DVD SATA2:DVD SATA3:HDD

and everything seems to be ok but it seems like its taking longer to load windows..

can anyone give me any tips or anyone know what might the problem be? thanks

php in the content of a string

Quickie (I hope):

I have a line of PHP code that should only be written to an HTML file under certain conditions, and it pulls a variable from another piece of PHP:


Code:
---------
$scriptquery = "SELECT * FROM scripts";

$scriptresult = mysql_query($scriptquery);

while ($scriptrow = mysql_fetch_array($scriptresult)) {

$replaceme="ooo!".$scriptrow['name']."!ooo";

$replacescriptinclude="content); ?>";

$txtContent=str_replace($replaceme,$replacescriptinclude,$txtContent);
}
---------
Yet the money line, $replacescriptinclude, invariably writes this:


Code:
---------

---------
Any ideas why?

String compare with Form field

I am new to JSP and am having trouble comparing string with the value in a form field submitted.

The following is the code that I am executing through Tomcat and is not giving me the desired result:


Code:
---------
<%
String myvar = request.getParameter("var1");
boolean first = false;
if (myvar == null) {
first = true;
} else {
if (myvar == "compareme") out.println("string matches"); else out.println("string MISMATCH");
}
%>

If you enter input as "compareme", I should say "MATCH",
else "MISMATCH"

<% if (! first) { %>
Input was <%= myvar %>

<% } %>

---

Please enter a string
and

---------
You will notice that even though the correct string "compareme" is submitted in the form, the string comparison still fails. I have tried appending .toString() and .trim() to myvar but that has not helped either.

I am obviously missing something very basic in JSP. Please help

Sharpening the Saw

As a software developer, how do you sharpen your saw?

Sharpening the saw is shorthand for anything you do that isn't programming, necessarily, but (theoretically) makes you a better programmer. It's derived from the Covey book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

There's a guy who stumbled into a lumberjack in the mountains. The man stops to observe the lumberjack, watching him feverishly sawing at this very large tree. He noticed that the lumberjack was working up a sweat, sawing and sawing, yet going nowhere. The bystander noticed that the saw the lumberjack was using was about as sharp as a butter knife. So, he says to the lumberjack, "Excuse me Mr. Lumberjack, but I couldn't help noticing how hard you are working on that tree, but going nowhere." The lumberjack replies with sweat dripping off of his brow, "Yes... I know. This tree seems to be giving me some trouble." The bystander replies and says, "But Mr. Lumberjack, your saw is so dull that it couldn't possibly cut through anything." "I know", says the lumberjack, "but I am too busy sawing to take time to sharpen my saw."

Of course, the best way to improve at something is to do it as often as possible. But if you're so heads down coding that you have no time for discussion, introspection, or study, you aren't really moving forward. You have to strike a mindful balance between practicing your craft and thinking about how you practice your craft.

Scott Hanselman has some solid ideas on ways to encourage members of your development team to sharpen their saws. And then there's the obvious way, the thing you're doing right now: reading programming blogs. I don't mean this blog, but ones of actual worth. If you keep an open mind, you can sharpen your saw that way, as Reginald Braithwaite notes:

What we do is this: we read a blog post, reading thing after thing we agree with, and if just one thing in there doesn't fit our personal world view, we demand a correction. If the thesis of the post clashes with our prejudices, we accuse the author of being an idiot. Honestly, we would suck as salespeople. We would quit the first time someone disagreed with us.

What I suggest we do is mimic these salespeople. When we read a post, or a book, or look at a new language, let's assume that some or even most of it will not be new. Let's assume that we'll positively detest some of it. But let's also look at it in terms of our own profit: we win if we can find just one thing in there that makes us better programmers.

That's all we need from a blog post, you know. It's a huge win if there's one thing in a post. Heck, it's a huge win if we read one hundred posts and learn one new valuable thing.

If you're looking for good programming blogs to sharpen your saw (or at least pique your intellectual curiosity), I know of two excellent programming specific link aggregation sites that can help you find them.

The first is Hacker News, which I recommend highly.

Hacker News is the brainchild of Paul Graham, so it partially reflects his interests in Y Combinator and entrepreneurial stuff like startups. Paul is serious about moderation on the site, so in addition to the typical Digg-style voting, there's a secret cabal (I like to think of it as The Octagon, "no one will admit they still exist!") of hand-picked editors who remove flagged posts. More importantly, the conversation on the site about the articles is quite rational, with very little noise and trolling.

The other site is programming reddit. The conversation there is more chaotic, with a wild-west anything goes sensibility, gated only by the up and down votes of the community. But it is quite reliable for digging up a great variety of links that are of particular interest to programmers.

Of course, too much saw sharpening, or random, aimless saw sharpening, can become another form of procrastination. But a developer who seems completely disinterested in it at all is a huge red flag. As Peter Bregman explains, obsession can be a good thing:

People are often successful not despite their dysfunctions but because of them. Obsessions are one of the greatest telltale signs of success. Understand a person's obsessions and you will understand her natural motivation. The thing for which she would walk to the end of the earth.

It's OK to be a little obsessed with sharpening your saw, if it means actively submitting and discussing programming articles on, say, Hacker News.

What do you recommend for sharpening your saw as a programmer?

Why Can't Error Messages Be Fun?

I haven't had the opportunity to talk at all about Google's new Chrome browser yet. Which is a shame, because it's easily the best web browser I've ever used. If it wasn't for the complete and utter lack of an add-in ecosystem, I'd switch away from Firefox in a heartbeat. If you're curious about Chrome, check out the Scott McCloud comic Google commissioned to explain it. Or, heck, just try it yourself!

Chrome is a joy to use, and in my opinion at least, it's the first true advance in web browser technology since the heady days of Internet Explorer 4.0. Chrome is filled with so many thoughtful details, so many reimaginings of web browser functionality as a true application platform, it's hard to even list them all.

In fact, the best way to explain how great Chrome is might arguably be one of the silliest, tiniest things about it -- even Chrome's error messages are fun! Here's an error I experienced last night while trying to clean up my GMail contacts list.

The tab is frozen, you see? With the snowflakes, its little scarf and teeth chattering in the cold? Rather than being annoyed with GMail, and blaming Chrome, I am completely disarmed by this error. It makes me laugh! It reminds me that the developers working on this software, rather than just taking the path of least resistance and spitting out a generic message box with a cryptic error code, took time to make their error messages not only user friendly, but fun.

I'm reminded of the Beagle Brothers statement of quality:

Our programs are FUN to use. Our instructions are CLEAR and complete.

And what happens if there's a serious rendering error on a Chrome tab, resulting in a per-tab process crash? Aw, Snap!

These errors are subtle homages to the classic Macintosh Sad Mac. Which is a tad ironic, as Chrome is very much Windows only, at least for now.

Now, none of this means that you shouldn't take errors seriously. As a competent and professional software developer, you will crash responsibly. Every time. Humor alone is not the goal here.

Errors aren't the most glamorous part of software development. In fact, they're sort of a downer. But the way you handle errors speaks volumes about how much you respect your users, and ultimately, your own project. Remember, this stuff is supposed to be fun! Why not share some of that joy, that fun you had building your application, with your users? We certainly did this on Stack Overflow with our CAPTCHA and Error pages. It's a major drag for your users to end up on a human verification page, or a big fat honking server error. So why not ease the tension a bit by spending a little extra time on your errors and using them to illustrate the lighter side of software development?

Don't get me wrong. Your error messages should always be informative and helpful. That's not optional. But as Google Chrome shows us, it is possible to do that while also being fun. And that's even better.
