Scott Watermasysk is helping launch the South Jersey DotNet User Group on March 29th. It is a long drive from the Tappan Zee, but Scott is giving out FREE copies of codesmith, it will be worth the time and gas money. He knows his stuff about asp.net

It just keeps getting better and better. Yes I decided to attend MIX07.
Not only are attendees getting a copy of Vista Ultimate, but now they are throwing in a copy of the new Expression Designer Tools. How Sweet is that!
See you in Vegas.

During some development work, I wanted to check the logviewer to see if any exceptions were being logged. The log would not display and showed a sql timeout error from the purgelog stored proc, as follows:
DotNetNuke.Services.Log.EventLog.DBLoggingProvider.DBLoggingProvider.PurgeLogBuffer()
I logged into SQL Management Studio and ran the procedure manually and everything was ok after that.
Strange...

6 sites in total have now been moved to aspnix.com.
A number of issues have come up along the way..
- Some of the modules to not support an export - so these were moved manually- The BLOG module does have export, so that was smooth
- The Gallery module is not supported in 4.4, so we need to look for another module. There is a community based upgrade to the Gallery, so that is an option also
- I started to get outofmemory exceptions on the new server. A ticket to support was answered within 3 hours - I hope they upped my application pools memory allocation. Time will tell
But so far so good!!

My hosting account was up for renewal at webhost4life.com and I was about to press the button for 130 bucks, when I saw they were going to charge me a $10 renewal fee. I guess I am really cheap, but it drove me crazy that they wanted to charge $10 a month in advance and charge me additional money to stay with them.
Since I already had an account with ASPNIX.COM for a community server deployment, I figured what the heck.
There does appear to be some noise in the forums and peoples blogs about problems with aspnix, particularly with down time and long times for service calls to be answered. I almost lost it when I realized that a service ticket must be opened to get a database backup or restore. That is nuts, and webhost4life makes this easy, as well as discountasp.net.
So, the eperiment begins...I have a copy of my webhost4lifes apps and databases so I can always go back or try another host if aspnix does not work out.
I took the opportunity to install DNN 4.4.1 and started to move some...

Yesterday was Code Camp II in NYC and it was great. Two of my new co-workers from VZW made the event. it is nice to see the community growing - Michael is hard core and loved the session on programming Lego Blocks!
I made the following sessions - I made them all!
Don Demsack (DonXML) on Syntactic Sugar - An interesting way to look at how we write code, and how langauge features, and the IDE can help make code clear and consise (or not!)
David Laribee - Test Driving NHibernate and the Domain Model - A thought provoking session about how to implement a clean and robust solution by focusing on the Domain Model and keeping the infrastructure out of the Domain Model Code base
Kurt Guenther
Scott WatermasyskCS word!
Kevin S. Goff
Kevin S. Goff - Practical uses for .NET Generics - Where is the aspirin was a common comment - I guess I have to buy the book......

It is hard to believe that it's time for another code camp, March 31st and April 1 2007 in Waltham, MA.
I can''t wait to see what Chris Bowen has in store for us, Deer in Headlights is an appropriate theme with all of the new bits available.
See you there!

A friend asked about creating a website that he could use to build a community around an area that he has a passion for. Sounded like a perfect for Community Server! I decided to try out aspnix.com to see how hosting is there. Even though I heard from Dave Burke that they lost the wizard, one of aspnix's key support guys.
Well the site went up pretty easily, I did need to raise a help desk ticket to get the permissions set for the aspnet worker procees. So, www.pfpnetwork.org is born.
I decided to also launch a new site using DNN 4.3.6, www.intelligentsystemdesign.com, is now live also. This site was a bit more problematic. Apparently, DNN 4.3.6 was not packaged properly. There are some medium trust problems that require some changes to the web.config file. These changes were...
