  • WordNet CE

    1 Comment

    I always have a passion for all sort of dictionaries, and having one in my Pocket PC is a must.

    So I am delighted with the release of WordNet CE, a dictionary and thesaurus for Pocket PC, based on a Princeton Univeristy project, avaliable for desktops.
    This version has been developed with compact framework.
    And good news, it's a freeware (some donations to the author will be of course appreciated)

    You need a good storage space for the data, about 40 Mb !

    Download here

    You need also Wordnet 2.0.

  • .Text installation issues

    1 Comment

    I posted this question already in .Text forums, but I didn't received any answer. So I try now to see if someone in this community has a solution for this.

    I setup a blog for a small project using .Text 95.

    The configuration I'm using is the Multiple Blogs of the form

    But right now my problem is with the user's login.

    For example, when I tried to log in my blog:
    (http://blog.kilkenny.com/blog/myblog/admin/ or http://blog.kilkenny.com/blog/myblog/admin/default.aspx)

    Then that i've input my username and password, the blog go back to the login page with the following URL:
    (http://blog.kilkenny.com/blog/myblog/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/blog/myblog/admin/default.aspx)

    Its never permit to me to administering my blog. I don't have a way to view the admin pages.

    I'm sure that is not an incorrect username/password problem because when i do that, the message dottext print is: "That's not it!"

    Does anybody know about this? Scott suggest to check the cookies but I still have the same problem. Locally the project works well.

    Thanks
