DBML Visualizer VERY Slow - solved!

3/29/2017 8:15:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Greetings fellow coders! I've had this super annoying recurring issue with Visual Studio (2010, 2013, not sure about 2017 yet as I haven't started using it on a daily basis yet), the DBML visualizer, and Windows 10 --- the DBML visualizer is just dog slow and frustrating to work with. After some snooping around and looking through task manager, I realized that tabtip.exe was interfering with Visual Studio's DBML editor. T...

Poor Man's SQL Log Shipping (Kinda)

12/23/2016 9:54:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Hi all, A Very Happy Holidays to everyone out there! It's been a very exciting and busy year helping clients with unique needs and solutions. I'm looking forward to what 2017 will bring! I recently was tasked by a client to come up with a simple (as elegant as possible), and inexpensive Log Shipping solution for Microsoft SQL Server Express. Yes, I know SQL Server Express doesn't have Log Shipping, and the solution would just be to purchase a ...

Excel Column Letter To Number.com

4/8/2016 3:06:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Have you ever been working with a large Excel or other spreadsheet document and think, "man, I wish I could look up what the number equivalent of column BD is!"? Me too! So I built a crazy simple web app that converts an Excel column letter (or letters) to its numerical value. For example, BD = column #56. I frequently use this for figuring out the column number when doing a VLOOKUP. Or when I'm working on very wide spreadsheets. You can find the free Excel Column Letter T...

"We Are Already Cyborgs"

Crazy.. "If human history is the story of a creature who molts from ape to angel - or as Nietzsche claimed, from beast to Superman - then somewhere along the way it seems that we must become machines." -Erik Davis. If you don't follow "Shots of Awe" it's some pretty thought arousing rapid fire philosophy that's kind of fun! ...

Oh Silly Hyphen - Prevent Line Break on Hyphen

4/29/2013 7:27:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

Here's a cool thing I learned today. I had an issue where a customer's webpage contained a word that required a hyphen to be grammatically correct: pre-plated. The word pre-plated appeared at the end of a line in a set width column. Internet Explorer would render the word on two lines instead of one. This would also happen when zoom levels other than 100% were set in other browsers and/or when the responsive design would kick in. In other words, the sentence format...

Why Get A New Website

4/23/2012 4:13:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

When customers visit your website does it look like a time capsule? Was Bill Clinton still in office the last time you updated your site? Customers want to see new content; it's not a question of, it's a demand. Take Facebook as example, do you know why facebook.com gets over ONE BILLION hours of use daily? It's because people have, arguably, become addicted to looking -- looking at refreshing content. What's new with their friends and family? Has anyone commented on ...
