Cascading Style Sheets are really weird

July 26th, 2008

So here I was, sitting around and thinking about formatted classes for my paragraphs. Now the result is quite pleasing, but has some side effects. But see for yourself …

Messed up CSS

Messed up CSS

As you can see, the browser is reusing the background-image URL from the <p> element within the <a> element, even though the <a> element initially had none. Even defining putting an background-image: none; into the <a> class doesn’t get me anywhere.

The weird thing is only Firefox is displaying it this messed up (not so weird when you think about how IE 6 treats standards). So if any of you CSS wiz’ got a suggestion, I’m listening :-)

Thanks to the tip of Dave(?), the issue is fixed now!

Connecting to a remote console with MSTSC 6.0.6001

July 23rd, 2008

Well, as one can read in about every damn post you can find afor that topic, the /console switch is now silently ignored, as well as the rdp file option “connect to console:i:1“.

Now, what you don’t find anywhere (only in some scenario explanation), that it is allowed to specifiy the mode (ie /console previously and now /admin) within the full address parameter.

Scenario: In the RDC client UI, you specify Computer_name /console in the Computer box (where Computer_name represents the name of the remote computer to which you want to connect), and then click Connect.

Behaviour: The /console switch is silently ignored. You will be connected to a session to remotely administer the server. (For more information about the Windows Server 2008 behavior, see the “Behavior when you connect to a server that does not have Terminal Server installed” section of this article.)

So my rdp connection file basically looks like this:
