We are working on an interesting project dynamically generating web forms for the enterprise. We have done this many times in the past, but this time, we are taking dynamic form generation to a new level. The scale, architecture, flexibility, and robust functionality that we are building is exciting. In its simplest form, we are allowing an enterprise entity to be mapped to web forms dynamically, along with both an administrative and end-user interfaces to manage the process. Here is a draft we are customizing for a customer (the actual implementation looks even more interesting/fresh). I have talked to some … Read More

Oracle XE Limitations (CPU, RAM, Data Limits)
I was trying to make a choice today between selecting MySQL and Oracle XE for a BI project. I didn’t know the limitations off-hand and was surprised I had to start digging through Oracle docs to find it. Here they are for your convenience.
FTP Server Error 550 – Can’t Access File
We run a lot of secure FTP with FTPS, typically using FileZilla Server on Windows servers. If you find yourself seeing 550 errors while trying to upload files to the server, chances are your FileZilla server is running under the Windows SYSTEM account, and it does not have write access to the directory you are writing to. Save yourself some trouble by running FileZilla as a domain user (or local user) that you can ensure has permissions to the folder to where you are writing.

Just [carefully] pop into the registry to change the default to a single session per user. Screenshot below:
