  • 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...
  • 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!
  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Perforce - free 2 user license

    So as soon as I found out that you can get Perforce source control for 2 users for free, I downloaded and installed it. I found that I could switch to a second client that has a working folder located on the remote server and sync files to that server directly, but this doesn't work well for mixed solutions that have web components and non-web components. This is one big way that I think SourceSafe worked much better than Perforce. SourceSafe would allow you to define a working folder per project...
  • Had some trouble

    I had some trouble getting the .Text 0.95 source configured, and also had a problem getting the source project solution to compile successfully. The project would generate errors during the build because the /Admin folder would fail when trying to copy the .Text framework DLL to the .Text bin directory. The problem seems to be that the admin project shares the same /bin folder as the main site. Hmm. That seems to be a bit tricky. The server seemed to lock the shared DLLs. When I figure this out,...
