jQuery tablesorter

I am going to make use of a tool for interactively sorting tables called tablesorter, built on jQuery.   The main web site for tablesorter can be found at http://tablesorter.com/docs/ [1]

Using find and HandBrakeCLI to convert AVI for iMovie

I love using iPhoto for keeping track of my pictures and on occasion I use iMovie to manipulate one of the movies from iPhoto.  I like the convenience of being able to see all my movies that are in iPhoto.

Piping find to xargs handling spaces

The find command already has an exec option that allows you to execute a command on the list of files you find.  As an example you can do the following command.

> find . -iname "*.avi" -exec ls -alh {} \;

This would list all the files ending in .avi  (ignoring case) then run ls -alh on each one.

Problem with DockStyle.Fill and Scroll bars

I am in the middle of doing a rewrite of some code for a client, fixing up some poorly written code (that I wrote L  … the code is correct, it does the job but in its current state it will be very hard to maintain in the future).

As part of the rewrite I am separating a lot of the interface into smaller pieces of code.  I am making several UserControls  (System.Windows.Controls.UserControl ).  I am adding this controls to a Form by placing a Panel on the form and adding the control to the panel. 

Mount Google Drive

I pay for Google Apps for business for my side company 10x13.  I mainly just use it for email.  I don't really use it for document or document sharing.  But I did notice today that I had a 30 GiB drive with my paid for account and I thought I should put that to some good use.     So I decided to figure out how to mount it as a drive, so I can do a few simple off site backups.

Nginx proxy upload file timeout

Recently I did a big update of my local network in my home.  I run a few servers on an ESXi 5.0 box I have set up behind a simple netgear router.  

Before redoing my network I would simply port forward certain ports to certain machines.  This worked well when I had one web server, one bind server, one (insert type) server….

But now I have a few different web server doing different things and it becomes annoying to not be able to user port 80 for each one and have the traffic route based on the URL  (my Netgear router is not smart enough to route traffic in this manner).

So I have all my web traffic (port 80) going to a single server that runs nginx.  This nginx server hosts my static pages and forwards a few URLs to other servers (acting as a proxy).
