File Upload Size Problems August 23 2004

When attempting to upload files larger than 4 MB, the default .NET environment will crap out on you doing a server timeout.

The way I solved this problem was to edit the “web.config” file and add the following section:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout=”180″
maxRequestLength=”10240″
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl=”false” />

Rounded Corners August 13 2004

If you have a square image in photoshop and you want rounded corners, here is the easiest method!

1. click and hold on the shapes tool (it might say Rectangle tool)
2. select “rounded rectagle tool” (Make sure “Paths” is selected in the upper left hand corner)
3. drag a rounded rectangle over the area
4. right click and choose “Make Selection”
5. Now you can Ctrl-X to cut the original out, delete the layer and paste it back in with rounded corners!
