A very easy way to deploy across multiple servers

Use dropbox to sync the latest code across all servers. Amazingly, if you do this very often, you will find bugs with Dropbox!!

Multiple Network Adapters in Windows and Network Location Type Public

It is a mess if you try to assign static ip addresses to multiple network adapters in windows. Basically you will see the network location type set to Public and no way to set it to private.

This is because for some weird reason, it sets resets the default gateway to BLANK when you press OK. Just reopen the adapter settings and set the default gateway to the IP address of your router and all will be well again.

Windows Desktop name resolution from a Mac

I have struggled with this problem using ip addresses for years now. Turns out it is very easy to get name resolution. Just use .local on the LAN.

Why the site is misbehaving.

Just to let everyone know, this is a hardware issue with the web server. Still trying to get it to work.

The os which destroyed embedded devices

No doubt windows ce. The Magellan gps used to be so reliable when they used to run on Linux.

Wcf scalability secret

This is something you will not hear anywhere and which I have found out after a month of study. The real problem in calling a Wcf service which in turn is the client for another Wcf service is that throttling comes into the picture.

But throttling happens on the server - this does not prevent the client service from creating channels without any limit once the throttling limit is reached.

Hence handle count increases exponentially and a problem is created.
