ASP Error ‘ASP 0104: 80004005'

2008-04-16T10:10:00.000-07:00

Solution:

Open IIS Manager

Right click on your local computer

In the Internet Information Service windows the very first checkbox is “Enable Direct Metabase Edit”.

Open your metabase.XML which is located in c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv find the line “AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed” and change it to “1073741824″. (1GB)

(may need stop IIS first before modify)

or will be much better to modify with this:

PaaS contender: Facebook | Google's App Engine

2008-04-12T23:53:00.000-07:00

many individuals and some organizations do use Facebook for business purposes.

Whether App Engine will permanently challenge Facebook, though, will depend on one burning question: will developers be able to make money from their Google App Engine creations? Make no mistake about it, developers build on Facebook not only for the kudos but also because a successful widget can make them a lot of money.

Facebook Platform
Google App Engine enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications.

Tips to save on gas

2008-04-06T23:29:00.000-07:00

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

Screen scraping

2008-03-15T23:22:00.000-07:00

Screen scraping is a technique in which a computer program extracts data from the display output of another program. The program doing the scraping is called a screen scraper. The key element that distinguishes screen scraping from regular parsing is that the output being scraped was intended for final display to a human user, rather than as input to another program, and is therefore usually neither documented nor structured for convenient parsing. Screen scraping often involves ignoring binary data (usually images or multimedia data) and formatting elements that obscure the essential, desired text data. Optical character recognition software is a kind of visual scraper.
There are a number of synonyms for screen scraping, including: Data scraping, data extraction, web scraping, page scraping, web page wrapping and HTML scraping (the last four being specific to scraping web pages).

Screen scraping generally requires intensive text parsing algorithms. Computer languages that have strong support for regular expressions and other text processing are thus a popular choice for writing screen scraping programs.

Trigger for insert, update in sql server

2008-03-13T11:05:00.000-07:00

deleted and inserted are logical (conceptual) tables. They are structurally similar to the table on which the trigger is defined, that is, the table on which the user action is attempted, and hold the old values or new values of the rows that may be changed by the user action. For example, to retrieve all values in the deleted table, use:
SELECT * FROM deleted

Create TRIGGER [dbo].[test1_insupd]
ON [dbo].[test1]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS

BEGIN
declare @f1 int
declare @f2 varchar(10)
declare @vishg char(1)
select @f1 = f1, @f2 = f2, @vishg = vishg from inserted
if UPDATE ( visHG ) and @vishg = '1'
begin
IF EXISTS(select * from test2 where f1 = @f1)
update test2 set f2 = 'true in t1' where f1 = @f1
else
insert into test2(f2) values( 'true in t1')
end
else
begin
IF EXISTS(select * from test2 where f1 = @f1)
update test2 set f2 = 'not true' where f1 = @f1
else
insert into test2(f2) values('not true')

end

END

SQL Server 2005 Express Limitation

2008-03-07T23:34:00.000-08:00

Functionally, SQL Server Express is in many ways the same as the full edition of SQL Server. Many databases created in other editions of SQL Server can work transparently.

The limitations to Express, however, need to be spelled out in detail:

No built-in management tools. Microsoft has a query tool called Express Manager that is available as a separate download, but as of this writing, it is an unsupported pre-release package.

Support for only 1 CPU. In systems with multiple CPUs, Express will only bind to one CPU at a time, and it cannot run queries in parallel.

1 GB RAM. Express cannot use more than 1 GB of RAM at a time for queries and data pages. The program's own memory footprint is not counted.

4 GB maximum database size. No one database in Express can be larger than 4 GB, but there is no limit on the number of databases you can use in Express.

No analysis or reporting services. Data mining, Data Transformation Services (DTS) and reporting functions are not available for Express.

Other functions not available in Express include clustering or mirroring, full-text indexing or searching, SQLMail, indexed views, partitioned views and SQL Agent.

If the environment or application you're working on requires any of these, the full version of SQL Server may be the better choice rather than trying to work around the limitations of Express. Sometimes workarounds are possible -- SQL Agent functions, for instance, might be mimicked through VBScript and the Task Scheduler -- but for projects with a broad scope, it might be easier to use the full edition of SQL Server.

KML MIME Types

2008-03-07T15:37:00.000-08:00

When responding to a request from Google Earth (or any Earth browser), a KML server must follow a certain set of rules so that Google Earth can correctly interpret its responses.

Upon success, the server must return a response code of HTTP 200 and set the response's content-type to a suitable MIME type, as described here.

Google Earth reads KML and KMZ files. The MIME type for KML files is

application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml

The MIME type for KMZ files is

application/vnd.google-earth.kmz
For Apache, add these lines to the httpd.conf file:

AddType application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml .kml
AddType application/vnd.google-earth.kmz .kmz
See the Microsoft documentation for details on setting up MIME types on Microsoft's IIS.

The body of the response must contain valid KML data, including the XML declaration (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>). If the server returns invalid KML, the Network Link will stop, deactivate, and output an error message.

Google Gears mobile

2008-03-05T22:02:00.000-08:00

Google Gears mobile is for jet-setters who need on-the-go access to Web applications but who also need the ability to work within those applications if their wireless signal gets interrupted or they are not in an area where wireless service is available. Initially, Google Gears for mobile will work on devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 and 6.

Google Gears for mobile enables developers to deploy applications directly to mobile browsers rather than develop native applications. He wrote that deploying directly to the browsers simplifies the process by allowing developers to use the same coding skills to create mobile apps. Additionally, the mobile Web applications can work offline, meaning users can leverage them when they are disconnected from the network.

"Google Gears Beta is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using the following JavaScript APIs:

Store and serve application resources locally

Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database

Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness

XML: invalid Character Was Found in Text Content

2008-02-29T14:40:00.000-08:00

SYMPTOMS
When parsing XML that contains "special characters" using the Microsoft XML parser (MSXML), the parser may report the following error message at the line and position of the first special character:
An Invalid character was found in text content.
Back to the top

CAUSE
The XML document is not marked with the proper character encoding scheme.
Back to the top

RESOLUTION
Specify the proper encoding scheme in the XML processing instruction.

- or -

Re-encode the XML data as proper UTF-8.

for sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
