So I needed to clear space on a workstation's C drive. There are other programs about and even some built-in to MS Windows that could potentially be used. This is a quick article on how to write an AutoHotkey program to simply return the folders in the drive and display the size of all the files/folders contained withi...
So this is a quick article on how to maintain an aspect ratio when resizing an image. How? These are the calculations to work out the new height given the width or the new width given the height: (original height / original width) x new width = new height (original width / original height) x new height = new width
Just wanted a note to get in my head the logic if checking a requested time slot isn't a double-booking (as in, the time slot doesn't overlap a previous booking. How?
This code snippet took me a while to do and the documentation is flaky so I thought I'd make a note here just in case I need to refer to it again.

So I thought I'd write an article to help me resolve the particular issue where the organization details and the header of the product line items table would display on the first page, the product line items would then print on the second page, with the terms and conditions or small print notes on a third page. How?
So another quick note as I couldn't find a solution on the forums. This is to hide the reset button on a non-stateless form (state form?). I have posted this on the Zoho forums as well but here goes:
A super quick article to show how to link to the thumbnail image of a Google Drive file, in this case a video file. How? The hardest part of this is to get the Google Drive File ID (which you need for the below). The image link (src) will be as below but then this is a redirect to the actual thumbnail stored by Google...
This is a very quick note with the code to determine the English ordinal of a date (eg. "st" of "1st"). So in a date, instead of "Tuesday, 6 November 2018", I could want "Tuesday 6th of November 2018".
Working principle
This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
