I created a custom ASP error page that sends the error details to support personnel while displaying a friendly message to the user.  The email includes information about the error along with all of the HTTP header information.  Along with identifying the line of code that created the error, the email also includes the actual code that generated the error.  The user that received the error will receive a message stating that an error occurred and support personnel have been notified (feel free to customize the message).  Here’s how to create your own custom error page in ASP. 

I worked on a project that required points to be displayed on a Google Map.  Google Maps require that the coordinates be WGS84 Lat/Longs.  The GIS data I was working with was stored as state plane coordinates.  In addition, the data was not static and the system could not be changed to WGS84 for my purpose (too big and too many dependencies), so I needed a way to convert from state plane to lat/long on the fly.  I created a page in classic ASP to perform this function using an open source GIS library (Proj.4). 

I recently purchased an old Xbox for media center purposes (XBMC).  I planned to position the Xbox in my living room next to the TV.  I don’t have a network drop at that location so I started shopping around for a wireless network gaming adapter (or wireless bridge).  I couldn’t believe the prices on these devices.  They ranged from $60 to $100.  Trying to keep my media center under budget, I started to look for inexpensive gaming adapter alternatives.
