If you are trying to run a query in HeidiSQL and find that the results are not displaying, it is probably because the box has been pushed off the bottom by the query editor window. This can be caused by resizing of the various windows.

To fix this issues:

1. Close all instances of HeidiSQL
2. Open regedit.exe
3. Delete the entry \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL\querymemoheight
4. Restart HeidiSQL

Links

If you have any suggestions for new links to add, please let me know.

I have also noticed that my Google ranking is dropping, probably because I haven’t updated this site for nearly a year. I will therefore post an update or two soon, I promise!

I have been working with Adobe Photoshop to create a few space scenes for a project I’m working on. Below are a few of the new images.

I have had this script online for a while, but I have had a few requests to make it public so that people can use it themselves.

ChessIT is a php and xml based program that lets you play chess against another person.

The system allows the majority of chess moves (some of the more obscure ones aren’t quite in yet), and even has a move history replay feature by hovering over the move list to the left of the board.

I originally wrote this as a test of a chess move validation script, but it turned out to be quite a fun game, so have a look and invite your friends!

I have just moved this site to a shiny new hosting package and imported the content from the previous server, everything seems to be working but there may be a few images & files missing that the export missed. If you find anything that I haven’t spotted yet let me know and I’ll see if I can track it down.

This code was originally for Adobe Illustrator 10 as I needed something to parse a basic XML file and create an image from the data. It shouldn’t be too difficult to adapt it for other uses, as most of it is generic Javascript code.
