It is comical to note some of the rants against him in the post and in the comments at http://weblogs.asp.net/danielfe/archive/2005/02/22/378343.aspx Some of it are plain hilarious like: "And really, let's face it, every programming language has a problem.

I know this isn't totally an advocacy group, but I think some of you might enjoy seeing the publicity that moz and firefox are getting. The Kojo Nnamdi show, on WAMU-FM
(Howard University PBS radio) had a show on browsers today, and what I was able to catch of it sounded pretty positive to firefox. For a while they'll have a stream up on their web site: (updated edit: seems they're up for quite a while, the archive is back to 2003).

http://www.wamu.org/programs/kn/index.php

The Kojo Nnamdi show is always pretty interesting. Glad I found out about it. Too bad it wasn't in time for the show to post here so folks could call in or email. :( It aired Tuesday at 12.06 hours Eastern US time. On air were guests columnist Mark Kelner from the Washington Times (bleh ..to the paper not the columnist) and Alan Paller, research director of The Sans Institue (computer security).

And if folks really don't want these kinds of posts, let me know. :)

Okay, my school offers webspace to all students, which is really kewl, cuz we can have our own websites without the hassle of purchasing a domain and what-not. Anyway, the folders in the site can't be viewed by anyone. I've seen somewhere before that you could bypass this by uploading an .htaccess file into the directory with certain instructions in it. Does anyone here know how to do this? Anyone know the code to use?

Could someone provide me with some html code for this?

#1: I would like to make a html form on a website that would create new pages from that form containing that form's information. (Very simple html form code of some sort. I've done this in the past, but forgot how to do it.)

#2 (much more complicated. If it requires outside software other than java, forget it.): I would like to make a html form on a website that would create new pages that look identical to the original form, but with the blanks and buttons replaced with the form data submitted. Ideally, you would NOT be able to click any radio button or place a blinking cursor in any blank already filled with information.

This is probably something really stupid and simple I am doing wrong, but it has me stumped.


in my code behind (c#) I have a variable:

protected string dateRegex = "blah"; //lengthy regex with this weeks corp standard date expression (actually it is read from the web.config, but I have tried it as static for this example as well)

now, we have a custom control, that was already in place when I got my hands on, that I don't have access to modify freely at this time... it is a TextBox with a regex validator attached to it. It has a default regex expression, that I want to override... so I am trying it like this:




my problem is that this renders to html as a literal string, not as a server side variable:
in the span for the validator control, I see:

validationexpression="<%= dateRegex %>"
if I use the databinding syntax instead of the rendering (<%# dateRegex %>) it evals it as null, and uses the default expression I am attempting to override. it works correctly (overrides) if I paste the new expression into the variable on the control, but this defeats the purpose of having the expression in my web.config file so that it could be changed in just a single place (there are between 20 and 60 Date Text Boxes on this screen, depending on the user's permission level).


Ideas? (other than repairing the object itself so that it handles changes to the expression property correctly)?

Hi all,

I'm the new network admin for a boarding school. They were without an IT person for a while and as a result have almost zero infrastructure. I'm wanting to build things up the right way so I don't have to tear stuff down later.

Anyway, we have a lot of different clients. Mostly Windows and Macs, but some Linux boxes as well. I don't have much experience with multi-platform environments. What is the best choice for directory authentication? How much of a pain is it to get Macs and Linux to authenticate off of Active Directory? How much of a pain is it to get WinXP to authenticate off of OpenLDAP or NIS? We aren't doing anything terribly fancy. Basic file and print sharing, a couple of databases, etc. the school has its email hosted outside, but I'd like to bring that inside eventually. We have one Win server, 2 Mac servers, and a handful of Debian servers, though all of this is subject to change. The network isn't providing much in the way of services, just your basic web access, DHCP, DNS, etc.

I realize this is a relatively open question, but any discussion and advice would be great. Thanks.

so, my quest for the perfect gallery continues. my question to you all is this: what gallery applications do you use and what do you think of them? I prefer php and no need for mysql, but I'm open to other options. the only thing I'm adamant about is not using javascript. ;)

Hi all--I'm looking to switch web hosts, and was hoping someone could give me a recommendation. Currently I'm with OneWorld Hosting, which is good, but too expensive and seems to be dragging its feet in recent days.

Right now I'm seriously considering Site5 (http://www.site5.com) after hearing a lot of good things about it. I checked it out with the BBB and it has a clean record, too.

Any thoughts?

Also any tips for my business would be welcome as well.

I knew this would come and bite me in the ass...now here it is.

I need to redo my portfolio tonight. There's a job that I'm applying for and the job closes tomorrow. The requirement is a web design portfolio in addition to the resume.

My last portfolio (http://www.debbierussell.ca) was a last-minute hack and slash job that I did to meet portfolio requirements for a school application. I received the letter with the requirements 18 hours before it was due, so it was one heck of a rush job, and one I was never happy with. I've been "in the process of redoing it" (read: I keep telling myself, I really need to get something done on it) ever since, but that's never gone anywhere past a main splash screen (http://www.debbierussell.ca/v2/ - the links don't go anywhere at the moment) which I was never entirely sure I liked. Luckily, the content is only slightly out of date. It won't take long to add newer material. What I'd like though, is suggestions as to how I should go about structuring it. What looks impressive without being overdone or tacky in web design these days? I have my ideas, but I'm looking for things that I might be missing.

So, as of now, I have 36 hours to redo this thing. I know I can do it, but I'm not sure *what* do to make it look simple and clean, but impressive. I'm horrible for coming up with ideas when under pressure.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help.
