I have recently added the CodeCitation plug-in to the website.
CodeCitation is a source code formatter for displaying neatly formatted code on the website pages. CodeCitation was written by these guys.
CodeCitation also provides, unformatted view, copy to clipboard and printing capability to make it easy to extract the code from the pages for your own use. just hover your mouse over the code block and the helper icons will appear on the page.
An example of this is shown below;
Private Sub ButtonSQLTestConnection_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonSQLTestConnection.Click
Dim conString As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder
conString.DataSource = TextSQLServer.Text
If TextSQLInstance.Text.Length > 0 Then
conString.DataSource = conString.DataSource & "\" & TextSQLInstance.Text
End If
conString.InitialCatalog = TextSQLDatabase.Text
conString.IntegratedSecurity = False
conString.UserID = TextSQLUsername.Text
conString.Password = TextSQLPassword.Text
conString.ConnectTimeout = CInt(TextSQLConnectionTimeout.Text)
Dim con As New SqlConnection(conString.ConnectionString)
Debug.WriteLine(conString.ConnectionString)
Try
con.Open()
MsgBox("Success!", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Connection Test")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
Enjoy,
Dave

The site experienced a failure resulting in a couple of days outage at the weekend (extended due to me being away and not knowing it had gone off-line).
The cuplrit for the outage was the PHP engine v5.2.11, which was also a cause of the outage in December.
If have since upgraded to a newer version, and this came back online without issue (a re-install of the original version [v5.2.11] didn't work, and the latest 5.3.x version didn't work either, so currently the 5.2.12 is in use)
Sorry for loss of service. 
Cheers,
dave

 Unplanned Site Outage 16/Dec/09Today, both the dave-auld.net and forum.dave-auld.net sites went offline.
It appeared that the PHP ISAPI filter failed which brought the sites down. There is no apparent reason for this.
Hopefully the issue is fixed now, but this is the second time i have had issues with the latest V5.2.11 release of PHP.
Will continue to monitor the situation.
Cheers,
dave

The server updates planned for today have now been completed. If there are any problems or you experience performance issues let me know.
The updates planned were;
- Forum - upgrade to phpbb V3.0.6 (COMPLETED - No issues.)
- Database - upgrade to mySQL V5.1.41 (COMPLETED - No issues.)
- PHP - upgrade to V5.2.11 (COMPLETED - Eventually! It Broke the Server
 )
Well the updates didn't go as smoothly as planned. phpBB and MySQL went without a hitch, but PHP broke my server! taking offline all the sites that require PHP. Using the over-the-top install didn't work, and although everything appeared to go ok, the ISAPI filter failed to load even after both IIS restarts and Server reboots. In the end i had to uninstall PHP and then fresh reinstall. After that it just popped back into life.
The Error Messages in the Event Viewer was its usual helpful self: The HTTP filter dll [filename] failed to load. The data is the error: 0000: e6 03 00 00. I will know for next time (I was pulling out what little hair I have left!
Anyway, done now.
