ASP Is Fun

There will be times that you run a WordPress update and you get the dreaded error: When you dig into it, or get the troubleshooting messages from your WordPress installation, you will realize that it’s your theme that is the problem.

I run quite a number of WordPress sites.

If you are showing Google AdSense ads on your website or WordPress blog, hopefully you realize how critical it is to have the cookie-consent banner show first.

There are MANY laws which require a website to get active consent from visitors before using ANY cookie tracking on that visitor.

Outlook is known to give all sorts of bizarre errors.

If you use Microsoft Outlook 365 on your desktop, you can run into some strange errors.

If you are running Microsoft Outlook 365 desktop version, you usually have a file in the folder c:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook named Internet Calendar Subscriptions.pst yes, with the spaces.

I’ve been using Microsoft Outlook on my desktop for probably 20 years or so, migrating upwards as new releases came out.

If you work with Classic ASP and you allow people to upload images to your site, you often use Request.BinaryRead for that activity.

If you’re running out of disk space on your Windows IIS web server, you might come across these two files: c:\windows\servicing\Sessions\sessions.XML c:\windows\servicing\Sessions\sessions_back.XML On my system these had grown to almost 1GB each.

When things go bad on a Windows IIS web server, they can go fairly bad fairly quickly.

I’m a strong proponent of always running the slow query log in MySQL.
