So its been 5 months since my last post... My wife is expecting! We'll be a family of 4 sometime in November Work is still cruising along pretty well One of my sites, http://halocharts.com, has grown significantly in the last 5 months. It is now getting 2000-2500 unique visitors a day and is tracking over 45,000 Halo 3 players and counting! Been learning WPF and Silverlight and really like it a lot. Not so sure I want to do anymore Flash work when I can write C#. I'm sure there will be a ton of integration...
I've been playing around with Facebook's API and came up with a couple of Facebook Applications: First, "Power Score" is a measure of your popularity and activity on Facebook. It currently has over 650 users and is growing steadily! Check it out and it only takes a second. Second, "HaloCharts" which is an extention of one of my websites, http://halocharts.com. Basically, it adds a dynamically updated Halo 3 Stat signature to your Facebook profile page. It gets regenerated every night and shows off...
I'm surprised there aren't already a billion posts about how Vista RTM is available on MSDN subscriber downloads. Well, it is
Yes, Wii. (pronounced “we“ according to their site) The Revolution (code-name), Nintendo's upcoming next-gen console is officially going to be called Wii. An official announcement is on their site: http://revolution.nintendo.... Based on the comments from the Slashdot story, the new name isn't exactly going over so well. I'm not too impressed, although based on their official description of the name I can see where they are going with it. Still, its not so great to think about buying...
This patch: http://support.microsoft.co... SUCKS. Avoid it if you can! Seriously, we make heavy use of flash, acrobat and other ActiveX controls, including the ones built into Sharepoint, and they are all toast practically! Now all of our users have to click on the stupid control before they can use it. There is a good work around for embedding flash onto pages with some javascript here: http://www.texaswebdevelope... Also, it appears the Sharepoint...
This post is a question to everyone here who has experience with data view web parts. I've got a DVWP on my sharepoint site and I'm attempting to group by 3 of the fields in the dataset. I've got it so each group is collapsed by default. Here's the problem: If you click to expand the first group, each of the groups inside that group also expand. Ideally I would expect that if each group is supposed to be collapsed by default that if you expand the top group, you'd see a list of collapsed sub-groups,...
We're using SQL Server 2005 reporting services to build reports using Sharepoints web services. For a few days I was scratching my head on a strange problem. The library we were reporting on had well over 500 forms in it, but our reports seemed to be excluding some of them. After some searching we realized that the default view in the library had a limit of 100. You would think that querying through the Sharepoint web services wouldn't be constrained by limits on views, but they are. So keep that...
I haven't blogged in a while... there hasn't been much happening that's worth a blog. I'm going to take the CCA exam soon. I finished the training class in December. I've been working a ton with Infopath and Sharepoint. I've also been working on some Flash based displays for a client. Oh, I updated my art site: http://www.frontlevel.com I guess that's it... for now...
We use fully-trusted Infopath forms a lot here at work. Yesterday I had one that was “stuck”. It didn't show up in add/remove programs, but when I tried to re-install it I was told it was already installed. Also, you couldn't manually remove it with msiexec, it would say that the form isn't installed. Kinda aggrivating... So I did a little searching in the registry and found where the form was at:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW... Just rename or...
This is what Sony and Microsoft think we want: * Super Horsepower * Super Graphics * Fancy design * Ability to play a lot of media types, basically turning this "gaming" console into an all-in-one entertainment machine* pricing near that of a good computer (well we don't want this) This is what Nintendo thinks we want: * Innovating gameplay * simple, but good design * Very good graphics * New gaming concepts, such as their new controller * a "fair" price $400-$500 for a gaming console in insane....
