Url Rewrite in Orchard CMS

If you are using the baseline url i.e. mydomain.com people will type in both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com. Either is perfectly acceptable except to search engines. If people are coming in on mydomain.com you need to do a permanent redirect to www.mydomain.com or vice versa so that search engines only see one version of your url.

...the above may not matter anymore but it is better form.

Problem: I downloaded the Orchard Module LuDC.CKEditor, by LuDC, which is a branch of the original editor conversion/install written by usagi. The editor is awesome!! I was having issues though picking from the Orchard Media Gallery (images that I had uploaded). We were seeing an odd occurrence...when the CKEditor Orchard button was clicked you had to sign into Orchard again and it looked more like the Media Gallery itself.

Comcast MAC address spoofing...a potential problem for data caps

Update: For all the people who have asked.
1. No I did NOT take this from theory to practice. That would probably be illegal without Comcast/Xfinity's permission.
2. No I will NOT provide you with more detail. If you are asking you probably are hacking and not fixing.
3. MAC addresses are notoriously easy to grab over the air.
4. In all fairness to Comcast they state that they expire your MAC based auth every 24 hours. I will leave it up to someone else to comment on whether that is short enough, secure enough, and/or it actually happens.

tldr; The MAC addresses that I refer to below where registered at Comcast/Xfinity when both my wife and I logged in at a local donut shop that has an Xfinity Hotspot. Since there is never a "reauthentication" other than the MAC address...these MAC addresses, associated with our account, could apply to our data cap no matter which Xfinity hotspots they are used on. It doesn't even have to be the actual device...just the MAC…

C# .NET for WalMart API instead of JAR executable

This is a quick note to myself so that I don't forget where these resources are.

Article and sample code to sign through .NET by Yuriy Zalatskyy

...to get the org.bouncycastle Crypto APIs referenced in Yuriy's code
1. Reference them through NuGet inside of Visual Studio (see picture below).
2. ...or download them here from the Legion of the Bouncy Castle themselves (out of Australia).

...I hope this helps with your Walmart Seller API code and how to generate a digital signature.
