I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got home from work today. I received my copies of Xavier Pacheco’s Delphi for .NET Developer’s Guide! Here’s a copy of the front cover.
In the process of converting my resume to HTML (using Word 2003), I ran into a few snags. When I looked at the HTML version locally with Internet Explorer and Firefox, my resume looked exactly how I would have expected it to. So I uploaded the HTML version to my website and double checked it again within both browsers. Much to my surprise, I saw lots of question marks in both browsers. Wierd. So I uploaded my resume to my old Angelfire account, and looked at it again. This time it worked!
I decided to look at the contents of the html file, so I loaded the html into XVI32 (a very nice hex editor written in Delphi) and noticed some extended characters. So I used XVI32 to search/replace the following extended charcters into the appropriate characters.
Once I these extended characters where replaced, I uploaded the file and tested again. Woo hoo! It worked.
I haven’t had a chance to research this extended character/Apache issue fully, so if anyone has any insight, please leave a comment or e-mail me.
