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]

Next week all the Telligenti developers - me included - are going to Dallas for another get-together. Should be a lot of fun in the evenings, but I have some work to do before I go. Although I have a kickass laptop I do all my work on the desktop, so I'm busy moving things over so I can continue working next week. There's a surprising ...

I hate seeing this error. Last night I moved this web site to another server and when I ran the site I got a YSOD telling me "Thread was being aborted" and "The type initializer for 'CommunityServer.Components.CSUrlReWriter' threw an exception". I won't bore you with the hour of bumbling around checking ...

Some browsers just don't seem to "get" the idea behind shared files like CSS or Javascript files.

Three weeks since my last post, and I've had something interesting to talk about almost every day. The last few days have been a blur of typing as I implement the coolest thing since sliced bread.

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 ...
