SVN Commit 405 error from Apache
Saturday, March 23, 2013, 06:11 PM - Technology
I recently upgraded my server to Suse 12 and started getting an issue from SVN:

Commit
Commit failed (details follow):
Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in response to POST request for '/XXX/!svn/me'

It turned out that the new DAV module was to blame. After searching and searching I stumpled on this page which said to add the following Do Not Advertise V2 line:

DAV svn
...
SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol Off

and presto, everything works.

Conditional References
Thursday, March 24, 2011, 04:38 PM
Ever wanted to include something when you are debugging,but want to use a different reference for the release compile? I stumbled across this a while back and it is EXTREMELY useful. Basically, you take the normal Reference Include statement in an ItemGroup and add a condition to it. In this case I have a fake dll that I used for testing, and another one that I use for production (release).

<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
<Reference Include="Interop.Galil">
<HintPath>..ReferenceInterop.Galil.dll</HintPath>
<EmbedInteropTypes>True</EmbedInteropTypes>
</Reference>
</ItemGroup>

Then you create another ItemGroup for Debug:

<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
<ProjectReference Include="....FakeInteropGalilFakeInteropGalil.csproj">
<Project>{AC8113BC-CCE2-4598-915A-9CF2FF918442}</Project>
<Name>FakeInteropGalil</Name>
</ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>

Un-Scratch an LCD Monitor
Thursday, September 2, 2010, 09:07 PM - Technology
I had a scratch in my LCD monitor from a recent move, and was totally bummed. It was over two inches long, and pretty annoying. A little googling came across this website on how to use a clean pencil eraser to remove it. I have to tell you, I had my doubts, but it TOTALLY WORKED! No more scratch, and it looks as good as new!
