FetchLinks - plugin for NewsGator

OK, Chris Pirillo - you got me. I complained a few posts ago about missing content. Sure enough, he responded to my blog (see the comments) with two words: Andrew: Fetchlinks. ;) Now, THAT'S WHY NewsGator has to be the number one News Aggregator around. Congratulations Greg on such a great way of dealing with features and GREAT JOB , Graeme on making good use of it. Back to Ted's comments, I categorize my blogs into different areas - it makes it easier to use NewsGator's overview pages. Right now, Pirillo falls under "diversions" - but he's in good company ( Wil Wheaton , Jan Polet , Grape Radio and more) We'll see if you get moved after I can actually read your content (via Outlook)) and see if it fits better under Development, FoxPro, Business or just plain Tech Stuff.

Windows 2003 SP1 Broke My ASP.Net

ARGH!! The saga continues... Back in December I had this problem before - Andrew MacNeill - AKSEL Solutions: Reinstalling DotNet/ASPNet on a Windows 2003 Server Now, after upgrading to Windows 2003 SP1, the problem has returned. Users cannot click on an ASP.Net button and have it work. Funny thing? It works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. Just like the last time. No error, no nothing. And it's only on certain buttons. Once again to the rescue Real Checklist for verifying AspNet is working properly on a Windows 2003 server 1. Verify in IIS that ASP.Net web service extension is Allowed. ( check ) 2. If it is, and something's still not working right, re-register it. Go to the \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 folder and run: aspnet_regiis -i ( didn't fix the problem ) aspnet_regiis -r ( didn't fix the problem ) aspnet_regiis -c (note the -c didn't seem to work on my version but you can also do it with an -r to reinstal...

Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 - Can't Find Server and other upgrade woes

It's this kind of thing that makes upgrades so traumatic for users. When you have your system working properly and you install a Service pack, you at least expect it to respect your settings or at least TELL you that something major has changed and here's where to go to fix it. I just hate the thought of what else may come back up and haunt me later on. I'm sure I'll hear about it though. My Story so far --- OK - so I was the good citizen and immediately installed Windows 2003 SP 1. I restarted my machine and what happened? First message: Windows Cannot run in this configuration, Windows will use a previously used config. Did some research. Nope - nothing really tells me what SP1 really did to my system so it's hard to know. "OK - I'll restart again for good measure. " - Restarted. Hmm... everything seems ok. Let's try and browse the Internet. No problem there. Maybe I should try my LOCAL server since that's where I have...

Don't Post Them - BUILD THEM!

I just want to say "Got any ideas for a killer Web App? Post ‘em."? Absolutely not - Got any ideas for a killer web app? Build It. Post It. PodCast It. Whatever. Let a thousand flowers bloom and let people take it. I say that only as a fellow developer - you want to make money? Don't post your idea - BUILD it first - and THEN post it.

Gnomedex: Why No Real RSS Feeds?

This really bugs me. Chris!!!! Give me FULL RSS Feeds. I use NewsGator and I have your feed on my trail but the fact that I can't read your posts without having to GO to your web site PISSES ME OFF to no extent. I can appreciate why Robert does it with his link blog but your site should not be "short-cut". Please give me access to the whole content. Argh!!! (a dumb user note: if you have a feed link where you DO provide full content, please email it to me at andrew@aksel.com - and hey! if you spam me, I don't care - it's going in the trash) --- Thanks.

AdJab - Make Popular Ad Get Fired?

Interesting concept --- I never liked the GoDaddy ads. They were silly, they were tired - and I can't believe they would try to defend it (on artistic grounds at least). Granted, I imagine it got a bunch of bikers/models/large-breasted women looking to register a web site but other sites such as Register.com offer just as much for the same dollars. AdJab
