I experienced a very annoying thing revently. My GMail looked like the top elements (buttons colors etc.) was scrambled together like the CSS was wrong or something. On my other computers and my phone and iPad i had no problems. It turns out that it detected the page as to be shown in "Compact View". Now i changed it to be shown in standard view. Here is how to solve it if you run into this problem:

1. Open the Gmail page

2. Press F12 to access the developer tools

3. Go to the menu "Browser Mode"

4. Change this to IE9 (the one i was using)

Now you are all done and GMail should again look like it should. Hope you find this helpful

One of the problem I recently ran into was that my project had refactored the business logic and the dataaccess out into a seperate assembly. The problem i ran into was that i kept getting connected to the old database i used before and not the new one i installed on lmy local machine. I stumbled across this blog entry explaining that my connectionstring was being saved several place. I followed this simple receipe and voila, it works.

Recently i bought myself a new computer and needed to reinstall the Microsoft Sql Server 2008 on it. Time and time again i ran into the error that: 

” is not a valid login or you do not have permission

This bothered me insanely, i tried to reboot the computer, started the installation numerous times and never found the problem. I changed account, i copied the files to hard drive - nothing solved this. I finaly ran across a small post on the interweb saying that someone might think that it was caused by the fact that the computer name was the same as my windows account name. I rapidly opened my control panel, and voila, my computer name was exactly the same as my windows user name. I changed the computername and tried to install again - no errors!

So... before you start trying all the things i did, please verify that your computers name is different from the windows user name.
