    Disqus Comments on Sitefinity

    Posted Under: Miscellaneous Tags: Disqus Sitefinity

    Things continue to be busy, but I'm doing my best to make time for this site and my various projects. At long last I FINALLY installed Disqus to manage comments for the blog and software posts

    Best of all, after a few frustratingly productive hours of hacking the Disqus API, I managed to import all my Sitefinity comments into Disqus! This was actually a fun project, but man was it a pain in the ass trying to hack that poorly-documented, unfriendly API.

    I have every intention of publishing my work, most likely as a module in the Sitefinity Marketplace...

    Life.Update()

    Posted Under: Miscellaneous Tags: Personal

    Greetings all, I have to apologize for the delay in completing my Sitefinity Toolkit Series. Things have once again picked up at work and I'm even busier than the last time! I just completed an update to the City of McAllen home page and now I'm moving on to an even bigger project, followed by a never ending, and ever increasing sequence of projects (and I couldn't be happier)!

    But I did want to let anyone who may be waiting patiently for the remaining series that I'm still here and will be updating as soon as I get a ...

    IIS 7 Adobe PDF Bug Fix

    Posted Under: Miscellaneous Tags: BugFix IIS

    This is just a quick note to document a fix for a horrendous bug in Adobe Reader that causes downloads to fail if they are being served from a Windows Server 2008 machine. It has been plaguing me for weeks, before I even knew it was a bug! The last time I needed help with something I ended up finding the solution on my own blog, so hopefully if I encounter it again, I'll end up here. Hello future self!

    Developments in Developing

    Posted Under: Miscellaneous

    Boy, has it been a while since I've been in here... Those of you that know me know I've been busy. Between my real work, my other work (i'm officially a freelancer!), and my personal work (including my dj and personal life) it's amazing I find time to breathe.

    But enough excuses, I still have way too many things I want to do to quit now. First and foremost, this site has been ignored long enough, especially the broken links on my software page. My jQuery Banner Swapper has been updated to version 0.3, and the link has ...

    OneNote 2007 Checklist Workaround

    Posted Under: Miscellaneous Tags: Office 2007 OneNote

    I've been wanting a checklist system for a long time to keep track of projects and To-Do lists for my programs and web projects. Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 doesn't support subtasks!I scoured the web looking for an alternative, but found nothing that I liked... Then I remembered OneNote, it's a great utility for keeping notes and ideas about projects, and I will definitely be using it to log my progress. However, it doesn't have a checklist feature either! But I found a neat little way to simulate the idea, though not perfect it does the job. All I do is add ...
