Welcome Cyborg All who enter are considered non sentient until proven otherwise...

Just the Rants & Raves of a Geek, who wants to join the Blogging crowd, I hope the site morphs into something you like! This blog is based on the dasBlog ASP.NET engine. I hope to add value to those who would use this software. This blog is part of my web presence, most people have a web site with many features, I have many websites that are somewhat related and or linked. Some are sort of hobby like this blog; others are business or pure vanity. I will be focusing on dasBlog the blog engine that could for my ramblings. For more about dasBlog see www.dasblog.info
=====================================================

While this is not one of my standard charity picks, I could not pass up Scott's request!

My father-in-law has diabetes, (not as bad as Scott's situation)! We all have someone dear that needs our help!

See Scott's blog for a very thought provoking monolog about this issue!

While you are there, help out and send The American Diabetes Association some $$$.

I can vouch for Scott's integrity, I even sent my contribution through him via Paypal!

I received the following comment at http://dasblog.info the other day, so I thought I would try this product for myself.

The mystery I'm trying to solve is "what are the valid endpoint definitions?" Been Googling all over the place, but no sign anywhere of what you actually enter for a dasBlog endpoint in your upload tool.

I did find on reference that suggested it was "\blogger.aspx", but NewzCrawler won't accept this. Odd that I could be using a combination of 2 popular tools, both of which are lacking dopcumentation on this simple point.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So far so good, it does appear that the default endpoint for custom /RPC is just fine and that the html reference is http://domain/blogger.aspx.

Going to hit the post button now.........

Ok a few weeks ago or even longer I blogged about how busy I am!  At that time I didn’t know the “half of it” as they say!

 

I just can’t find time to keep up with blogging here and supporting dasblog.us & dasblog.info, all are suffering <smile>…

 

There are a few new changes to this busy schedule, I started using FolderShare. It’s the best new thing in my techie life. http://www.foldershare.com.

 

I can’t count the times it has saved me time (pun) or from a mini disaster (no pun).

 

For two weekends in a row I have had personal server problems at home, (Exchange 2003 on PDC/you don’t really want to know the details) and FolderShare has unexpectedly saved the day.

 

Not only the sharing of designated folders on two or more computers but the feature where you can log into you FolderShare account and access any file on your host computers. That is the feature that was the unplanned lifesaver.

 

Just today it saved me an 85 mile drive home, yeah I do VPN and remote server etc. etc., and sometime it all lets you down, but not FolderShare.

 

And you can’t beat that for free!!!!

I spent the better part of the afternoon today trying to get the code for a customer page that would use the generic Google site search to validate to xhtml, not the new adsense, but just plain old search. The code that Google provides is no where near xhtml 1.1 compliant.

Well I finally did customize the code where it works, and validates. I wish somebody had posted this for me!! So here is is for anybody who needs it! The CSS searchbar stuff is not important for function, just layout.

<div id="searchbar">
<h2>Search This Site</h2>
<!-- SiteSearch Google -->
<a href="http://www.google.com/" title="Google"><img width="75" height="32" title ="Google" src="images/Logo_25wht.gif" alt="Google" /></a><br />
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
 <div><input type="hidden" name="domains" value="http://banjara.us" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="19" maxlength="255" value="" />
 </div>
 <div>
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" />Web
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="http://banjara.us" checked="checked" />Banjara.us
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="UTF-8" />
 </div>
</form>
