Its internet douchbags like this who make putting anything on the internet difficult. I sincerly hope not a single sale is derived from their tactics.

Blah.

jQuery Replace craziness

 

I spent way too much time figuring this out.

var originalString = “Batman And Robin”;

var replacedSpaces = originalString.replace(‘ ‘, ‘_’);

This doesn’t work, it only replaces the first instace of the match, so replacedSpaces == “Batman_And Robin”.

var replacedSpaces = originalString.replace(/ /g, ‘_’);

This does work, and now replacedSpaces == “Batman_And_Robin”.

 

Powershell v1 Uninstall Nightmare

So I wanted to install the SQL 2008 Express edition but it has a pre-requiresite of Powershell v2, simple enough I thought.

It starts to install, and fails telling me that Powershell v1 is already installed and that I have to remove it. To remove it the screen says go into “Add or Remove Programs” and then remove powershell.

Ah but there is the problem, of course there is not a “Windows Powershell” it is something more like; “Hotfix for Windows XP (KB926139-v2)”

Sure that is very clear indeed. Found this here.

Enjoy!

Renaming MVC Application Ambiguous

Seems when you rename a MVC application in ASP.NET MVC and then perform a ‘Clean Solution’ and ‘Build Solution’, well it doesn’t exactly clean.

Just friggin’ lovely.

Go into your applications ‘Bin/’ folder and delete all the files there first, then perform a ‘Clean Solution’ and ‘Build Solution’ and enjoy!

Caturday Browser Memory Tests

I saw this posting over on Fark yesterday and knowing how the previous Caturdays go I knew it would be a page filled with images, links, loads of text – a great page to do another quick browser memory test on.

So I started the browser, set the home page to nothing, closed. Started browser, pasted URL into the address bar hit enter. I then waited ten minutes for various memory collections to happen and give each browser a period to “stabilize”.

Capture 

Here are the browsers I tested;

* IE 8.0.7100.0 64-bit – 248MB used
* IE 8.0.7100.0 32-bit – 245MB used
* Maxthon 2.5.1.4751 32-bit – 234MB used
* Opera 9.64 Build 10487 32-bit – 234MB used
* Firefox 3.5b4 32-bit – 137MB used
* Google Chrome 2.0.172.30 32-bit – 62MB used

So I guess the proof is in the memory usage, speaks volumes for WebKit to me.

Enjoy!

Firefox memory usage is out of control

Well I am about at my breaking point with using this release of Firefox (v3.0.10), seems there is *REALLY* something seriously wrong with its RAM consumption.

I have three pages open in the browser and its is using over 1GBof RAM, yes that’s right over 1024^3 bytes of RAM;

firefox_really_part_two

So I think well hell surely somebody see’s this as a problem and most likely there is a fix or something. Well I was sorta right;

firefox_really_part_one

That nugget of wisdom is found here.

Its no damn wonder people are using IE and Chrome. Bah!

Browser Memory Usage

Surprising to me how much difference is between three major browsers memory consumption rendering the same pages.

I loaded up two pages in;
FireFox 3.0.10
Internet Explorer 8.0.7100.0
Google Chrome 2.0.172.30

The memory difference is 10 fold. Firefox is over 250 MB, IE around 60MB (each tab gets its own process its seems in IE8) and Chrome around 20MB.

mem_usage

Wow. One would figure the Mozilla team would do something about that. Seems to me that something with memory management really isn’t being done correctly.

Apple Development

Decided I would be adventurous and try to develop something for the iPod + iTouch and make millions and live the life of a pimp daddy – or something like that.

So off I adventure to figure out what it takes to develop an application, get the application to the Apple store and be able to cash the checks from Apple.

Seems this task is its own hellish task. The Apple SDK is only designed to work on a Macintosh machine, so that’s problem #1 for me.

The Apple SDKis $100, not horrible but why? I guess this is just to ensure (presumably) that the people developing apps for the Apple store are serious? Seems to me that Apple would just give the damn SDK away – they already require that you have a Apple Macintosh OS to develop for it anyhow.

Then it seems that Apple (for whatever damn reason) decided to use Objective-C for their SDK, not C++ or even C, yes Objective-C. As a non Apple fanboy I don’t get why on earth they wouldn’t just use something that the rest of the development world uses – ie; C++.

So my first task down this journey will be to figure out if I can get OSX86 working on a standard PC. Yay!
