  • Depeche Mode - Martyr

    And then, I finally listened to their newest song! Depeche Mode , one of my favorite music bands, has released a new single song: Martyr . In my opinion Martyr isn't as great as A Pain That I'm Used To or Precious but is an excellent song. I've been a martyr for love And I will die in the flames As I draw my last breath As I'm close in on death I will call out your name I've been a martyr for love Nailed up on the cross While you're having your fun As the damage is done I'm assessing the cost I knew...

  • Multiple Blogs at the Root

    I was asked about this by a community member over at Community Server so I thought I would post this to my blog for prosperity. If you want to just run a blogger only site using Community Server and host multiple blogs this is how I did it. 1) Make a...

  • Do you have problems with Community Server Database size?

    If you have your Community Server web site at a hoster, have you been confronted with the issue of a growing CS Database? In a conversation with Keyvan the other day, he pointed me to a forum thread at communityserver.org, and hinted that this might be a good idea for a CSJob. In that thread a user wants to delete certain posts in the CS Database at certain intervals (although the question from the beginning is more like if mirrored blog posts does expire or if they have to be deleted manually)....

  • The Panel Program

    Some weeks ago Urs Muller, Marketing Manager at Microsoft EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), contacted and offered me to get involved in a project which is named The Panel . Those days, it wasn't public but community leaders who have attended to TechEd 06 Barcelona should be aware of this project. The main goal of The Panel is to provide a set of free applications written with new Microsoft technologies as a showcase with source code and publishing several articles to describe the process of...

  • RSS Bandit Comment Watcher

    Via Haacked : Participating in the comments section of particularly interesting blog posts is a lot of fun and helps build community. But one of the annoyances in doing so is that there’s really no good way to keep track of comments. Unlike new posts in someone’s RSS Feed, most aggregators won’t tell you when there is a new comment. Sure, there is coComment , but since I like to post comments using my RSS Aggregator via the CommentAPI , coComment isn’t such a help there. But help is on the way. Dare...

  • BlogML 2.0 Can Run on Mono

    Phil has sent a post about Mono Migration Analyzer as a helpful tool which helps you to get a report of your assemblies to know if they can run on Mono. He also has sent some examples of his experiences with this tool. As you see, SubText assemblies couldn't pass but our BlogML 2.0 assembly could! Good news for Darren and me! You see we're lucky guys because we can move our assembly to Mono world without any problem! Here are some snaps of running this analyzer for BlogML 2.0 assembly: Read More...

  • CS Dev Guide: Tags

    Tags are a new feature in Community Server 2.1. Generally tags became a frequently used feature in web applications and websites in latest 2-3 years and Community Server team decided to implement them for this great up to date platform. In previous versions of Community Server, each application type had its own mechanism to categorize its content. Categories for blog posts and subfolders of file gallery folders were two examples of these mechanisms. But in Community Server 2.1 all previous mechanisms...

  • You Ever Have One Of Those Nights...

    Where Visual Studio absolutely refuses to cooperate? The VS gods were very much aligned against me earlier this evening...broken references in projects that worked just fine the last time I opened them up, breakpoints playing IDE hide-and-seek, code just outright refusing to compile even though I know it should, not to mention my source control server just outright being bloody slow as hell. *sigh* Yeah, it was just one of those nights...for every hour I wrestled with VS, I got about 10 minutes of...

  • A less painful way to upgrade to a Service Pack

    Have you not yet upgraded your Community Server sites to Community Server 2.1 SP 1, because it seems to be to much work, and you don't want it to go wrong and just haven't got the time right now to do I properly? Service Packs are an important way to get security fixes, bug fixes, and more into an existing version of a product. Sometimes it can also contain fixes for better performance etc. And when it comes to web applications that are configurable in so many ways, it's not always an easy task....

  • Redirect Assembly Versions Using bindingRedirect Element

    Sometimes it's mandatory to use a specific version of an assembly when various versions are available in place. Simplest option is to use <bindingRedirect /> element under <dependentAssembly /> under <assemblyBinding /> in application configuration file. For example in a configuration file that is presented below, version 1.0.0.0 of KeyvanAssembly is redirected to version 1.0.0.1. Using this configuration file, application applies version 1.0.0.1 of KeyvanAssembly rather than version...

  • Show Dog Disappearance Creates Urban Legend

    Via CNN : NEW YORK (AP) -- In the nine months since escaping her travel cage at Kennedy Airport, Vivi the wayward whippet has joined the Central Park coyote, high-rise tiger, Harlem Meer caiman and Molly the fugitive feline in New York's ever-growing pantheon of urban animal legends. She was reported dozens of times, roaming cemeteries with other dogs, or hanging around stores in the borough of Queens, in some cases miles from the tarmac where she disappeared while awaiting a flight home to California...

  • Add A Nice Touch To Your Site -- Snap Preview

    A couple of folks in the Community Server have posted about a nifty offering from the folks over at Snap.com : Snap Preview Everywhere . It's a little gimmicky, but adds a nice touch to existing websites via just a couple of lines of javascript added to your header. I only have 2 complaints (if you can even call them that): I wish there was an option to specify the dimensions of the snap preview window (it's tiny on my 1600x1200 monitor), and an option to open links to external sites in a new window...
