  • Crash

    2 Comments


    I didn't blogged too much recently. It was a bad day for me, my hard drive crash, and of course no recent backup.

    So I have now all my projects running on my servers, but I ma unable to touch them, I don't have anymore the code behind.

    The only thing I can do is updating the HTML pages, if I want to update some code, I would have surely to rewrite a lot of code.

    I decided to send and pay for a data recovery. The company's name can't be more explicit, The Computer hospital !

    Cross fingers that everything will be back on track, surely I need the code.

    I am surely going to investigate the new save functions in Windows 2003 !

    I know it's probably stupid but I regret a little bit (just a little) the time of ASP where everything were deployed and not just the half of it. OK, I know, it's not good to have the sources files on a production server, but now I have few orphans installed !

  • Frontpage extensions: change the name !

    2 Comments



    I'm going to use my blog to launch a request to Microsoft.

    Many times I want to deploy somewhere a site, IT people are puzzled by Frontpage server extensions.

    "Why do you need this if yoou don't use Frontpage ?" and all the time you wasted some valuable time to explain why you need them.

    Because Microsoft is very good on choosing names ;-), can you please rename Frontpage server extensions to something else, I don't know for example Web extensions.

    If some MS gurus read this blog can pass the message, thanks
