Now a friend of mine has just changed his email to codesquared.com, now is there something I am missing here. Is this a buzz word or something of the latest jargon and not being up with the latest trends dont realise the meaning of this.
If you know then let me know !!!

Having just moved the blog from a subdirectory of myblog to the root of the site I have realised that I am on the wrong time zone again.
Just need to fix that up in the web.config
old config was -5 and just altered it to 0 for good old GMT. This now means that this entry will be before the previous as the times have come back 5 hours.
times in good old GMT…

Hi Paul,
It appeared that there was no activity on the NIC within your server. We replaced the netowrk cable with a new one and it appears everything is working again.
Please let me know if you are having any more problems.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, this is a very rare occurence.

was that the one from the panel?? Or the one between some of the machines in the farm???

Hi Paul,
This was the cable from the server to the switch. Not the cross-over between the two machines.
Cheers,
Gary

Been out with the relatives today. Enjoying a relaxing Bank Holiday Monday, forgetting about pressures of work and unpaid invoices.
Its been a nice day. Have just checked my email and only got 6 emails which were SPAM which is good, obviously those spammers have been off for the Bank Holiday weekend !!!

Got the wiki eventually up and running although I still cant amend the home page at this instance.
Basically I kept getting object reference not set then I realised that in my _ContentBaseDefinition.wiki file I still had ‘YourNameSpace’ in the file rather than replacing it with the actual namespace name ie. MyWiki
did that and it all came up.
