About a week ago, I added Google AdSense code to monetize my blog. It's hard to see, because it's located under the GWB ad, but it's there. So far, I've made a penny. I've had much better success with AdSense, but that's not the point. I'm excited that someone out there saw my blog, and read far enough down to click on the ad. Keep Clicking. ...

As I was adding my site to my Google Analytics, I noticed a error pops up when you try to enter anything other than a root domain URL. http://www.geekswithblogs.net would work. http://www.geekswithblogs.n... wouldn't. So, I contacted them via e-mail, and here's their response. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

In my last post, I talked about the possibility of using Google Analytics on a blog. It's possible, and it works quite well.Thanks to a tip from Michael, things came together for me.Here are the steps I took: Set up an account on Google Analytics. It's free. Register your blog as http://www.geekswithblogs.n... as the URL. (Where XXXXX is your blog name). Plop the JavaScript code that they provide in the Static News/Announcement section of .Text Admin. Wait a few days (It's slooooowww.),...

I've been playing around with Google Analytics for a few days now, and thought, "I wonder if I can get this to work with my blog."So, I went on to Google Analytics and tried to add my blog as a site. However, when I put http://www.geekswithblogs.n... into the URL text field, it gave me an "Invalid Input" error. I tried appending the forward slash at the end of the URL, and still the same thing.So, then I noticed the "Default Page" text box, and thought... Hmmm... If I put http://www.geekswithblogs.net...

I realize that there's a lot of hype around VS 2005. I understand that. I've seen a bunch of demos, and I must say, It's very cool. But, I'm going to wait. For a few reasons... I'm just now (after two years) getting into the groove of 1.1. There seems to be too many unresolved bugs. It's kind of cost-prohibitive.I see the benefits (long-term), and I'll probably wait a year to switch...

In my last post, I mentioned an article that deals with Nested Set Heirarchical data in MySQL. I'm at this point trying to design a business layer / data layer class around the concepts in this article. I've run into a big wall in trying to develop a scheme in which I can get the most amount of data into the class with the fewest amount of hits to the database. The other problem is that I'd not only like my data to be heirarchical, but the objects in my class as well. Maybe that's wishful thinking....

There's a really good article over on dev.mysql.com by Mike Hillyer that deals with Hierarchical Data in MySQL. This is particularly helpful for category structures, and aggregating categories and counts of items in categories. It's a very comprehensive article, providing sample code for almost any scenario where aggregating data is necessary.Very nice...

With the MySQL Connector/.NET, parameterized queries are performed like this: dim sql as string = "SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE field1 = ?field1"cmd.Parameters.Add(... "Value") Great. What about LIKE statements? dim sql as string = "SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE field1 like ?field1"cmd.Parameters.Add(... "Value") The only way I've gotten this to work is: dim sql as string = "SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE value1 like ?value1"cmd.Parameters.add(... "%Value%") Am I missing something...

OK. There's something seriously wrong with the LuxLight skin. If you post formatted code of any kind, it tends to break the code down the middle, and put it at the bottom of the page. I've switched to other skins, and everything looks OK. I like this skin, and don't want to change it, but am seriously frustrated by this problem... k-

I was digging through an old CD case the other day, and found my Worms2 CD. Back in school, I played this game for countless hours. In fact, I think I failed a class because of this game, watching Babylon 5, and a wierd obsession with Final Fantasy 7. Anyway. I found the CD again, and, well, I'm hooked. If you've never played it, there's a demo over at the Worms2 site. It'll waste many hours...

I'm not sure why, but one of my sites is flipping out. About once a day, the app hangs, and gives me an error in the emHits.save module. I'm not sure why. It's a simple class that saves a visit to the site to the DB. I wonder if it's the ODBC connector that I'm using?... Sheesh. K-

The Psychology of AJAX If you’ve been poking around the .NET blogs long enough, you’ve seen the word AJAX, perhaps even visited Michael Schwarz’s website, maybe even downloaded his AJAX.Net assembly and poked around in it. I know I have. I see the value in AJAX, and that’s not what this post is about. I want to ask the audience some questions regarding the psychology of AJAX. The thing that got me interested in AJAX was a post about the way Sam Goody was incorporating it into...
