What's everyone doing today ?

I am stuck working on a classic ASP site and I am trying to get it set up to run locally. The connection string always seems just one iteration away from working....

I'm currently packing away my obsolete books, including Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0. I can't bear to toss them, but I have no further use for them.

Writing unit test plans, rollout plans, and technical specs. Man, doing documents consumes a lot of time. Whats worse is when I think about why Im spending a day for this task when all that needs to be done was remove 2 lines of code. :doh:

I have joined a new company. Will be getting a training on their framework and process workflows today.

Have you worked on it before? I got to get my hands on it in my previous organisation. It is then when I came to know that ASP.NET was a revolutionary change in how we develop web applications. Good luck to you!
..Go Green..

Yeah, I have a similar pile. No ASP books tho.

I´m writing an OPCServer for communication with Melsec fx series plc's in C#. Also a client .dll suited for beginners(Not DCOM like regular OPCServers).

I'd be happy to send you mine, but the postage would probably be more than the cost of the book. Still, if you want it, let me know and I'll send it off to you. But do let me know before I get it put away, as I have no organizational talent, and it could be months before I find it again.

Trying to split our website down into smaller logical units while separating badly-managed (all 3GB of it:- we've had a Google ranking fetish) content from code as far as possible. Then I need to get our site, which was written in ASP.NET 3 years ago in a very classic ASP fashion to actually build on a local dev machine, so that we no longer code directly on live.

That's interesting... I have a OPCServer at work that's a constant source of headaches, and I'd love to rewrite it. Where can I find information about the beasts? I have no experience with them, or the industry standards they use.

Thanks for the offer. I am pretty determined to not relearn ASP, I intend to convert these pages to ASP.NET as quick as I can. I worked out my connection string issue, when I got the string right, the code dealt illogically with the 'you were not given the stored proc you need to log in' error.

Writing conversion scripts to clean, de-dupe and load guardian names for minors in health care records. Then converting cpt codes for immunizations into cvx codes for immunizations for around 8 million records. In t-sql. Grunt data work but kind of interesting. Tomorrow, an interview for another job.

Adding more functionality to our Silverlight and WCF framework, its looking cool.

We have 3 or 4 OPCServers at work as well,(Beijer electronics,Archestra DASSIDirect). As you say they are a source of headaches.Especially the usage of DCOM. I am writing my own opcserver from scratch(with the help of a PLC programmer). I downloaded all pdf documents i could from Mitsubishi,explaining how the Melsec FX PLC works(the information given was slim). They try to hide the communication standard so it is very hard to find documents that explains how to write an OPCServer. Communication is like everything else.It's a stream of bytes over network or serial. You just have to figure out how. My next step is Siemens S7 which use a different stream of bytes,so i basically have to start over when I´m aiming for that one. If you want, you can go to http://libnodave.sourceforge.net/[^] which is a free library for Siemens S7 communication in multiple programming languages.

Actually this semester I can slack off a little. Last semester I had advanced geostatistics and a graduate level numerical methods course at the same time I was working about 30 hours a week. Almost killed me, but I passed everything with A's. Just one course and working less seems like vacation in comparison. At least all I'm doing is some math: ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, integral transforms, power series, partial differential equations, nothing fancy and all review. And the oil field stuff I handled on my cell phone while walking back from The University, no big deal. Now, working on ASP stuff, that would make my head hurt! :laugh:

I hope you at good university. My lessons too seems hard to understanding for someone not from the field, but it's all just bull crap :D

Last night I could not sleep, so I completely refactored my XNA graphics engine and user interface. By the time I came to work I already had done a good day's work. Now the UI, the 3D engine and the still rudimentary 2D engine can be used separately or in any combination. And, as a bonus, the whole thing now can render things into separate layers. And now I sit at work and am hunting far less interesting bugs :)

Well, the graphics engine and user interface can be used for anything, not only games. I still need more controls, but by now I can use the UI almost like Windows Forms. I am going to include some support for the MVP pattern, so they will even be more practical. XNA is a managed wrapper and framework for DirectX 9. And probably the XBox support is the only reason that it's 'only' DirectX 9. You have a comfortable framework which makes initializing the Device object and other standard tasks very easy and managed code does not cost too much performance. At least at the beginning you will have more performance issues from less optimal code for the shaders or badly synchronized threads than from getting to the limits of the GPU.

I am endeavoring, Madam, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins - Mr. Spock 1935 and me 2011if it is a wrapper it should be simpler as well? I´m starting to get curious, maybe i should dive into XNA. How is deployment of written programs, Is it as easy as normal C# programs to make .msi installers?

Not simpler. You still have control over everything as far as I can see, but the framework classes take a lot of tedious work (like initializing the graphics device) off your hands. Deplayment may be a tiny bit more difficult. Or I just did not get it right and must look into it again. The problem is with the Content, a folder of graphics resources, which was not deployed along with the rest of program. But once I'm ready, I am going to add a complete setup project anyway.
