InfoWorld posted an article describing some of the things that cause visitors to leave. One of those things -- flashing ads that distract the reader.

On the page, I'm sure you can guess what I saw...

Why is the entire internet prompting me to install Flash8?  Did Macromedia change something?

I always thought that the Image Web Part had little value.  How wrong I was...

Look closely at the far left of this image:

Ahhh...those were the days.

The amusing point -- this image was grabbed from the screen during an installation of SQL Server SP4 (2005).

From the press release:

Apress L.P. is pleased to announce the creation of the Apress eBookshop. Earlier in 2005, Apress launched the "Free eBook" series. This is a continually growing collection of essential titles, including "A Programmer's Introduction to PHP 4.0," that Apress offers its readers for free. With hundreds of copies of its books being downloaded on a daily basis, Apress is seizing the opportunity by offering IT professionals worldwide a variety of ways to stay at the forefront of technology.

To access the Apress eBookshop, visit http://eBookshop.apress.com or http://www.apress.com.

As you would expect, the prices are dramatically lower for eBooks, which are delivered as PDF files. So far, I am very impressed!

Also, they have a What's New RSS feed.

While vowing to continue to support the newsgroups (microsoft.public.*), Microsoft has put up an online forum.

Access the forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx. An explanation is provided by Jim Glass and the VSXUE Team

I don't know who "James" is ;-), but he has some great posts about the Microsoft Office System Developer Conference.

I received a very geeky Christmas present this year - Ubuntu! Ubuntu is a linux distribution (Debian I believe) that includes the Gnome desktop, Evolution Groupware and the OpenOffice suite. (I bet my brother would have loved the math formula editor back in the day when he was teaching physics.)

The package has two CDs. The first is a “live cd” that sets up a RAM disk (remember those?) and then boots into linux with touching your hard drive! Very creative! This is a great way to show non-technical execs what linux can bring to the table.

The second CD is a bootable install disk, with a character-based installer. I loaded into a Virtual PC machine (refer to this How To from the Ubuntu site) and have been working in the corporate environment for a few days. WSS sites are mostly usable. There is a Citrix client for Linux, so all of the “corporate” apps are available.

Being a .Net guy now, there is probably not much more to do. If I had time, then perhaps Mono would be fun to try...

Future Tense has a great podcast that discusses how bad these things really are. Computer geeks are probably saavy enough to avoid these, but are your family & friends?

Mr. Udell is lead analyst at the InfoWorld Test Center, and is what I call a “big thinker.” If you aren't subscribed, go do so now!

Jon has updated his RSS feed to include enclosures, starting with a podcast that includes an interview with two of Microsoft's patterns & practices leaders: Ward Cunningham and Jack Greenfield. But it is even better -- Jon will be including screencasts!

When an eloquent writer/speaker/thinker like Jon Udell offers such a multimedia experience, then entire industry benefits. Thank you Jon.

As a fellow 40+ year-old, I was happy to see Dave Andreychuk pull a Ray Bourque.

Now that you have your PowerPoint presentation ready using the Sharepoint template, here is a tip about presenting and viewing your speaker notes.

Over the last few months, I have had difficulty with running FrontPage websites on the same shared host as ASP.Net websites.  I don't understand completely, other that sometimes the .Net sites issue a generic “Error occurred” message. 

Today was the last straw.  Two different sites were unavailable, for no apparent reason.  No explanation from the vendor.  I am moving to SecureWebs. They host the blog of Scott Watermasysk, the creator of the .Text blog engine.

I have received top-notch help from Scott (a different Scott) at SecureWebs. I am excited about the move, which will be complete before the end of the month.

Rob Howard: Extending the ASP.NET Roadshow

I went to the Roadshow here in Chicago in January. The site was changed a few days before since the event outgrew the original location. The new location was a circus tent attached to a restaurant.

To make matters worse, they turned off the heaters when the presentation started. I lasted 15 minutes...

I installed the beta. I like it a lot! The new preview in Outlook is very clean, and I like the follow-up flags. OneNote looks very nice. I'm installing on the laptop so I can pound on it.

I came across an ASP Table Editor utility at 2eNetWorX. I have hacked together pages to execute SQL statements numerous times, so I know that this type of utility is extremely valuable. There are many other utilities on this site.

I went looking for a bug tracking system today. Found a good resource site at Fuzzy Software. I ended up with the basic edition of ProjectApp and KnowledgeShare from ASPapp.com.
