Here is the best syntax to use to perform a redirect with mod_rewrite based on HTTP_HOST. I found it after trolling many forums and trying many different combinations. I don’t plan on actually learning the syntax of each character, just know it works.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jw0rd.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.jw0rd.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.jw0rd.net [R=301,L]

ASP connecting with MySQL throws the following error:
ADODB.Field error ‘800a0bcd’

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

Based on the error returned it sounds like an empty recordset however it wasn’t. I wasted a lot of time debugging when in fact the problem was the MySQL ODBC driver. If you see a similar error be sure to update the driver to the latest version (3.51.27.00)

I recently upgraded my gaming system to XP SP3. Upon initial boot I got a BSOD saying my system was not ACPI compliant. I rebooted and went in the BIOS to disable the only relative ACPI option I was aware of, no luck. After further digging I realized I was not alone and this is a well documented problem, with no permanent fix from either manufacturer, ASUS or Microsoft. The only way I can get my system to boot into Windows is to plug in a USB flash drive before POST. I will be downgrading to SP2 shortly. BIOS is version 1405.

Notice how this is referenced as an “Endless reboot” problem. That is only because upon receiving the BSOD most systems will force reboot so fast most do not notice the outputted error codes.

This is my current setup. I decided instead of building a secondary I would boost this chip and upgrade the graphics in the near future (probably 9800gt)

AMD X2 3800+ @ 2.6ghz (ships @ 2.0ghz)

3GB Corsair
