Visual studio: Dump data to file from immediate window
Posted on August 15, 2016 Leave a Comment
Friday afternoon I started a test run against an API to sort some file issues out. Saving the result in a List<string> while running to dump it out to a text file when done.

Front-end Demos on Github
Posted on August 9, 2016 2 Comments
I really like both JSFiddle and Plunker but they come with limitations. To counteract cross site scripting issues and other security concerns they sandbox the code with iFrames and similar methods. That is just fine when you do simple examples of front-end implementations. I actually managed to implement a connection to Google oAuth ina JSFiddle […]

Performance is key in web development. Many developers forget this since there machines usually are more powerful then the average user machine. This is really important to take into account when building client side applications. In AngularJS the ng-repeat can be a source of bad performance, it’s super convenient to use but can create both […]
Google Speech API – returns no result
Posted on February 12, 2016 Leave a Comment
Google Speech API takes a flac audio file and converts it to text. This API is aimed at Chromium and Android developers first and for most so the documentation for other plattforms isn’t that good.

AngularJS: $digest loop when filtering array of objects
Posted on February 8, 2016 1 Comment
Ran into trouble trying to use a filter to sort an array of objects in AngularJS. Basic issue is because the array of objects is passed to the filter by reference. This is not unique to AngularJS, javascript always passed arrays by reference. Since AngularJS watches for changes in the array the sort will fire […]

Embed image in HTML code
Posted on October 12, 2015 Leave a Comment
You can embed images straight into HTML code without loading a separate image file. This is called data URL and is a base 64 encoded representation of the actual image file. You can more or less embed what ever data you like this way but the only implementations I have seen so far is with images. […]
Easiest way to embed assembly’s into your executables
Posted on September 3, 2015 Leave a Comment
I usually write a lot of command line tools for different quick fixes. Distributing them to clients with a lot of attached DLL files are not always the best. They get copied around different servers and sooner or later someone runs them without the proper DLL files present. For quick and dirty tools there might […]
