  • Upgrade to CommunityServer 2007.1 and now using Live Writer Beta

    I've upgraded the site to CS 2007.1 .  The upgrade was pretty painless... copy some  files, run an sql script.  Voila!  Updated! Also, this is the first post I've made using the latest version of Windows Live Writer .  It's been updated to be part of the windows Live package which contains desktop search, photo gallery tool , Live Messenger and Live Mail Desktop .

  • Upgraded to CommunityServer 2007 (v3.0)

    I've upgraded the site to CS 2007 and am trying out a few new visual themes from the recent CS2007 theme contest . I'm also considering elimination of the "single blog configuration" I've been using for CommunityServer because of the amount of effort it requires each time there's a new upgrade to CS I need to install. If I get rid of the single blog config, it means that any existing links out there to my old configured site will no longer work. Therein lies the crappy choice... Fortunately in CS2007...

  • Geeqs.Net.BF2Query

    I play Battlefield 2 a lot these days and have joined a BF2 clan called Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) . One of the things we'd like to do is have a quick way to see who's on our BF2 server just by hitting your clan sites main page. This helps so that you don't have to fire up BF2 to see if there are people on a server worth playing against. There didn't seem to be any free tools out there that would allow you to easily add such a listing to your own site. There are plenty of sites that specialize in...

  • Test Post from Windows Live Writer

    I'm just testing out the Windows Live Writer application. The WYSIWYG editors that CommunityServer provides is good, but it doesn't compare to the rich interface that Microsoft Word provides. Windows Live Writer seems to promise more of the Word experience and less of the manual HTML editing that's usually required to write a well formatted post. Here's an excerpt from the download page . Windows Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose compelling blog...

  • Now running CommunityServer 2.1 release

    I've updated my blog site to CommunityServer v2.1 . I was having some trouble with the configuration of the v2.0 site when it was trying to process blog post trackbacks and pingbacks . So I decided to update the site software to the latest version and reconfigure it from a clean state. It looks like the services that weren't quite working before have been fixed by the clean reconfig. So now it's time to start digging into the new features!

  • Redirection of a Misdirected Url?

    I'd mentioned previously... perhaps several times... that after several upgrades of my home blog software ( dottext -> CS1.1 -> CS2.0 ) and successive reconfigurations of said multi-user blog software to run in a "single blog" configuration for my personal use, I've got a lot of page requests coming into the site that are no longer pointing at valid urls for my current side. Through the upgrades, the locations of my blog, images, posts, and all that junk has changed ever so slightly in the...

  • Fixing a single blog config in CommunityServer 2.0

    I've mentioned some of these problems before in previous posts here and here. I've set up CS2.0 on my home server in a " single blog configuration ". Unfortunately, that doesn't completely cover all of the things that should be changed to make the single blog configuration work. Here are a few more... After following the standard instructions for setting up a single blog config, you'll probably notice a few things. In your exceptions report (My Settings, Administration, Reports, Exceptions Report...

  • Brief impressions of PDC 2005

    I spent the week of September 12th through 16th in LA at Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2005. There was a lot to see at this years show! Visual Studio 2005 Lots of cool stuff to be seen here. The new IDE has a bunch of new features that make life easier when building applications. Things like code snippets, much better designer support, a more advanced intellisense, and new "strip" controls (dockable application elements like Office has for menus and toolbars, and that we're using...

  • Trackback issue fixed?

    I think the trackback issue I'd reported previously has been fixed. Others seem to have the same problems I did so I hope they find this and it's useful to them... First some historical context... Skip to the bottom if you just want to know about the fix. ;) Definition of a " trackback ": When other bloggers post entries on their blogs and those entries contain references to posts I've made on my blog, there should be an automatic notification received by my blog that will log who's referring to...

  • Migration to CommunityServer 1.1 - part 2

    Here's what's good about blog software that you have source for , like .Text on my old blog. As part of my migration over to CommunityServer 1.1 blogs (hereafter referred to as CS Blogs ) I moved my blog location from http://www.geeqs.net/dottextweb to http://blog.geeqs.net . As a result any blog links or trackbacks or search engine links would still hit the old server. It wasn't long before I realized that the simple redirect of all traffic to the old blog to the main page of the new blog wouldn...

  • Refactoring a pet project is therapeutic!

    Yesterday I spent a couple hours fiddling around with a pet project of mine. Therapeutic refactoring, or “Care and Feeding“, of your pet project I think that every developer needs a long term pet project of some kind. It should provide a developer with a test application that they can try out new technologies, designs, and generally fart around with. Here are some general guidelines to picking an appropriate project: The project should be something that the developer works on outside of their regular...

  • Updates to the Geeqs MiniNews RSS Aggregation service...

    One of the things I've been working a little bit on has been the Geeqs news agregator site. I've improved the speed of the filtered searches and set up the page and it's underlying data layer to be able to filter on a group of categories. See the MiniNews page. See the RSS feed . The RSS feed takes URL parameters (documented in the comments within the XML returned) so that you can customize the content for your web page or RSS reader or whatever. If you have any science or tech feeds that you really...

  • ASP.Net Forums v2.0 - I'm currently checking this out...

    I'm looking at ASP.Net Forums v2 as a possible solution for my companies internal discussion forum and it does look like quite a good, full featured, and open source solution that could be easily modified to add whatever feature it might not already have. Check this google search to track down my most recent posts over at ASP.Net Forums 2 discussion, or go directly there to hook up on the feature requests discussion .
