Code Junkie

Whenever I publish my blog post through LiveWriter it doesn't show up on http://weblogs.asp.net/. Has anyone else experieced this? Am I missing a setting in LiveWriter?

A while back I found a really cool tool on CodePlex called Terminals.  It allows you to store all you RDP, VNC, VMRC, RAS, Telnet, SSH, ICA Citrix, Amazon S3, etc in the same interface.  It has a really useful tabbing feature that tabs out all the active connections you have for quick switching. If you work in the RDC world its a must check out.

This morning I went about finally setting myself up with Windows Live Writer so that I can start taking my blog experience a little more serious. This post will document the procedure needed to setup you weblog.asp.net blog with Windows Live Writers blogging tool.

I was recently working on a small POC project. Basically I had an internal MOSS 2007 server site and an locally hosted public facing website. I wanted to have the ability to add files to various MOSS document libraries and then give outside website visitors the ability to view and download these documents. So, what I did was:

One of the most time consuming things to do when starting a new web project is setting up the sites directory structure, until recently. I finally took the time to create myself a few generic templates for Visual Studio enviroment.  This has made my ramp up time on starting a new project close to nil. I have my folder stucture all set.  I created a few Classes that I typically create in all my projects, add a small library of default images and now just recently dialed the application in with jQuery wired up. Check out Sara Ford's article on making project templates in VS 2005 (Works the same in VS 2008). http://blogs.msdn.com/saraford/archive/2008/10/16/did-you-know-you-can-create-project-templates-336.aspx

This is something I threw together when having to relink a couple dozen InfoPath libraries all containing 100-1000 forms. Why Microsoft doesn't have a check all button at the top of the page is beyond me. Here it is...

Maybe someone from the ASP.Net community can enlighten me, I have always had the hardest time getting the script, css, etc working/rendering correctly when used on the masterpage. On the masterpage I always have to use an absolute path on the script or link tag or generate the script/link tag from the code behind on the masterpage in order for it to render/execute properly. Is there a better method. I recently ran accross this using jQuery trying to get the intellisense to work on the pages inheriting the master page.This is what I came up with. Seems like a hack. Any suggestions?
