Failed inspiration

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I had a sudden thought this morning in the shower about the comments. The sudden realization that I had put the link to the comments BlogItemNumber in quotes so it would look for a string instead of a number but I hadn’t put the quotes around the second part of the comments code where that same tag shows up. Maybe that was causing the errors? I hurriedly finished my shower, did a hack job of shaving, rushed in to work, fixed that, tried it and…

There’s still an internal server error when I try to use the blogid as text in the database. Grr. I’ll get back at that later, I have invoices to produce right at the moment. I’m open to any suggestions, although I’m getting more and more convinced that we’ve simply hit a limitation of Access and/or ASP.

    I hope the folks who lost data can somehow get it back. Losing data to a failure of any kind is a pain in the ass. On the other hand, if the ransomware plague has taught us anything, it’s to have backups, online and offline. Because anything connected to the infected device is at risk, but if I have a copy that isn’t connected to anything, it’s safe.

    Yes, it’s more work. Yes, it takes time and effort.

    So does figuring out how to deal with losing all of your data.

    Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number. If you read the comments it’s obvious that I think the whole thing is overblown, and things like this are being used by certain people to scare people about using the internet. What do you think? I’ll be…

    So I got the .Net framework going, and went and grabbed a copy of Aggie. The program has got some potential. It’s lightweight, it’s quick, and it puts all of your news onto a browser page, so you can see it all in one fell swoop. However, the font size is too small on that…
