About the author

The author is just another obsessive compulsive hacker (the good kind) who when confronted with anything new can't help but wonder "how'd they do that?!?"

By day, I'm the Software Architect for CBMC; by night, I just try to "keep the clients happy" as Director of Technology for sdgInteractive.

RadioButton GroupName Insanity

by hilkiah 13. July 2009 15:03
OK, this is hands down one of the craziest things I’ve seen in a while. When dynamically creating RadioButtons for a registration form, I discovered that even if the GroupName was set correctly, the group would not behave as expected and keep the selections unique. After a very short search,... [More]

The internet is the ultimate packrat . . .

by hilkiah 4. July 2009 16:32
Ok, so this is just a very brief soapbox moment, but it’s really getting annoying. Obviously, unless someone intervenes, things live forever on the internet and Mr. Google (or Mr. Bing or Mr. Yahoo – not trying to be discriminatory) is happy to find anything for you. Given that and the tremendous am... [More]

Extension Methods, Display Helpers and SoC

by hilkiah 22. May 2009 05:46
I developed a habit a few years ago (and it escapes me where I first saw it used) of extending my Business Objects with little display helpers for easily serializing them into web pages and email templates. At first, I was just overriding .ToString(), but that never really felt like the right plac... [More]

ObjectTypeCode and Entity Creation

by hilkiah 20. May 2009 11:28
I’m doing more and more integration with Microsoft CRM and the new public CBMC website we’re getting to roll in a few weeks. The more I work with it, I’m struck by two distinct things: 1) the sheer power and flexibility of CRM as a platform (and I don’t like tossing the &ld... [More]

Server Side Paging with Common Table Expressions

by hilkiah 28. August 2007 22:08
It's times like this that I feel like I don't read enough . . . Apparently SQL Server 2005 added a great new concept called a Common Table Expression (CTE) based on the ANSI SQL-99 standard. Essentially, these allow you to create an on-the-fly view that lives only in the scope of the current... [More]

Moto Q Home Screen

by hilkiah 16. June 2007 05:06
Well, I bit the bullet and finally requested to switch PDA phones for the office. As of yesterday, I've officially moved over to the Moto Q from the PPC-6700. The 6700 was a great device, but the size kept getting on my nerves, especially for I what I use a device like that for - cell calls and ... [More]

Process Identity on a Domain Controller

by hilkiah 1. May 2007 03:05
Ok, I fully realize this runs into the far reaches of obscurity, but I felt like sharing. I was just uploading an admin tool for one of our clients that host their own site. Part of the tool configuration was allowing write access to folder a for file uploads. Now, usually this just follows the simp... [More]

Vista, Zune and signed Audio Drivers

by hilkiah 27. April 2007 22:04
I recently replaced Holly's laptop with a Vista desktop at the house (I'm not being cruel, she never took the laptop off the dock) and have been working on getting it dialed in just how I want so that it can double as a Media Center, development box and media hub. The whole process has been ... [More]

Virtual Earth and Firefox

by hilkiah 26. March 2007 21:03
I've been playing around some more with Virtual Earth and have continued to run into weird "uncaught exception" errors when doing anything more advanced than displaying a map in Firefox. In a previous post, I mentioned that I'd found a workaround for the onMapLoad callback not working c... [More]

Adventures in XBox 360 Wireless Security

by hilkiah 2. February 2007 22:02
I've been working on reconfiguring my home office network, moving some of my machines and equipment around and taking a few more devices wireless. As part of this, I decided to go ahead and move my XBox 360 onto my wireless network. Should be easy right? Just pick up a handy dandy XBox 360 wirel... [More]
