At last we can talk about Telligent's new soon-to-be-released-but-noone's-promising-anything CMS!! Adonis just posted a sneak peek video [include:blogad]

Schtum: adj, slang. Keep quiet, maintain confidentiality  Working on a secret project at Telligent has made it tough to blog on technical subjects this year. I'm a big fan of open process and loved to talk openly about the development of Dozing Dogs CMS but that's not been possible with the new product in this higher stakes world ...

I wrote my CMS a long time ago, ok? (2001) Hey, I only ...

By now most people will know about ResolveURL and use it whenever they need to reference a page that may be in a different folder. I still regularly see user conrols that reference images using plain paths though, and they only work when you use them from certain folders. Create a new folder and use the existing user controls in there and suddenly ...

Community Server 2.1 RC1 is up there for download. Obviously it's the best release yet and it's I'm now officially an enthusiast. Yeah, I've worked at Telligent for almost a year now but only recently full-time on the CS team. It's a great team, but getting my new blog site setup on CS has finally got me involved in the ...

Well, I got my CS site up and working - on my local machine. :D And then, my FTP program decided to have a very immature and badly-timed hissy fit. It took an hour to upload the files, often quoting 4bytes/sec upload speed. Yes BYTES. It started moaning about files not being uploaded correctly that had spaces in the name. And then at about 11pm ...

..and within 15 minutes (how is that possible?) the ringtone spam comments poured into my blog. So, this is it. This is the weekend that CYA moves to CS. It's not hard, thousands of people do this each day but the longer I leave it the bigger hurdle it appears. I'm just going to install it, set it to single blog mode and pick a theme. It ain't ...

I'd like a streamlined blogging experience, where I can hit a hot key, type and a new quick-and-dirty blog entry gets posted. Somewhere where I can blog the stream1 of thoughts that go through my head and never get captured. Something nice like OneNote perhaps that would allow me to very easily add a screencapture or picture from a web ...

We've all read summaries of 2005 and what's going to happen in 2006. It's a common theme amongst bloggers it seems. I'm not going to take my turn though. This post is about why an earlier venture of mine (OurLittleNet) failed, prompted by an article I recently read - Getting it Right. Over future posts I'll look at how it could still be ...

The hell with it, I'm blogging the MVP conference. It's been great, but probably not for the reasons that it should have been! I admit it; I didn't attend many sessions - I'm here for the ASP Insiders summit next week too and in comparison we get one-on-one versions of the same presentations next week. Instead of sharing Anders, ...
