Last nite I started getting worried that I hadn't gotten anything about my student loan, and for good reason, I don't know how I knew, but I knew it. Woke myself up early this morning (10am) to find that my Mum, in her infinite wisdom, hadn't sent off the student loan form, OMG!!! I'd filled it in when I was down here over easter, and had asked my mum to put it in a stamped addressed envolope and send it to the student loans company, but did she, like ***, went downstairs to find...

Have you eva wanted to search the listings in real time, without waiting for it to load, well now it's here, dynamic searching. Want to test it, see wat happens? Yes? Go to the listings, and search searching, lol. U'll be surprised , well I hope you will be. Clicking on any of the build version's will also search and filter the listings for that build, but you can also do it in your search, just enter ":build:" followed by the build you want. (Without the quote marks) It's...

Sometimes looking at past and what you did before makes you happy. Yesterday I was deleting some test projects from my Visual Studio 2003 projects folder and saw my old 3D XO (Tic-tac-toe) game. I wrote it in cloudy years (inspired from a famous novel by Ali Ashraf Darvishian ) in university when I had Data Structures course. It was one of my projects for this course. Always I love practices and writing uncommon codes because they force me to think and design. Most of things developers code everyday...

Hey just testing out the new Microsoft Office 2007 Beta and the new publishing to a blog feature in Word 2007. In case you didn’t know this old news but Word 2007 has built in Community Server Blog support. Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it! Read More...

I modified my ClientBlocker HTTPModule to handle some unexpected manners. I had a mistake in exception handling (actually I forgot to call a method on exceptions) which lets blocked clients to pass this blocker and see the site but by some small changes it should work correctly now. Another change is it returns 200 status for response if client is blocked. void context_BeginRequest( object sender, EventArgs e) { try { string ClientIP = this ._Current.Request.UserHostAddress; CheckIPs objChecker Read...

After upgrading to Community Server 2.1 Beta 2 , I changed my blog skin to new built-in Community Server skin, Kid Congo, designed by newest Community Server MVP Jaxon Rice . It was (and is) his blog skin and he added this skin plus some other beautiful skins to Community Server 2.1. These new skins need some changes so I had to change some parts for Kid Congo myself. Probably after himself I'm the first guy who applied this skin to an official website but I guess it will be post popular blog...

In today's screencast I want to show you another, in the line of, what I call "hidden" features of Community Server . Namely the import function in a photo gallery. IMO it's not located in a place where you might expect it to be. You will find it under the 'Advanced Photo Settings' in the control panel of a gallery. I believe it should go under Common Tasks and/or Manage Content. It would be more logical, and easier to find. Although the screencast is recorded with CS 2...
