SQL Server TLS 1.0 Fix

Few days ago, I have to disable TLS 1.0 on one of our Windows 2012 Server for PCI Compliance. This machine was also acting as Database server, and runs MS SQL Server 2012. After disabling the TLS 1.0 (using IISCrypto tool), I ran into SQL Server compatibility issues where first the SQL Server Service wouldn’t start, and once that issue was fixed, SQL Server Management Studio failed to connect with that SQL Server.

Swift MVC Framework

Swift, PHP MVC Framework, is the one I created for the development of my website. If you are thinking why another framework, then I will not blame you for asking this question. I myself asked this question several time before starting work on this one, and the reason I ended up developing this was because I wanted a very lightweight and fully controllable yet scalable framework for small web applications development.

Actually, all this began with my idea to create my famous Dynamic Subtitles Translator. Since, my website was hosted on a provider which supported PHP, so I started looking for some simple PHP frameworks. After doing some research, I decided to go with CodeIgniter, and overall I was happy with my choice. It was small, very well documented, and I was able to make the online subtitles translator on 2-3 weekends. All was going well until I run into few complains by user that some SRT files were being rejected by the server. So, I started going through the CodeIgniter libraries to debug the issue. It was then I realize that even this small looking framework is very complex, and even though I was able to fix the problem after few hours of debugging and research, at that time I thought that I would write a dead simple framework for my website…

Devo 7e Transmitter

I have been looking for a nice and cost-effective RC transmitter for some time. My main goal was to find one which I can ultimately use to fly custom built planes, but it should be nice enough if I can also fly some of the nano or mini RTF (Ready to Fly) helicopters and quads as well using that transmitter.

I have been keeping an eye on the FlySky FS-T6 for some time, and had almost made my mind to buy it because of following reasons…
