Scott Forsyth's Blog

I thought I would spend a few minutes today testing out Graffiti from Telligent.  Graffiti is a fairly new blogging and content management system (CMS) which is meant to be very easy to install and setup.  True to its word, it is impressively easy to get up and going.  There are a few things that I found that are worth noting.

There are some exciting events coming up around the Charlotte area which I'll be speaking at.  Next weekend is the Charlotte Code Camp Spring 2008.  I'll be speaking on what is currently fresh on my mind, and what I believe is very applicable to developers today.  The session is titled "What every developer needs to know about IIS 7". 

Searching for file content on your computer or server is a common task and one where you would expect accurate results.  You, like so many of us, may have assumed that but found different results.

I use Remote Desktop all the time to manage servers remotely, and often I join other people's sessions to troubleshoot something with them, or walk through something or other.

I was just asked to help someone troubleshoot a site that worked fine on Windows Server 2003 / IIS6 but didn't work on Windows Server 2008 / IIS7.  A file was in a folder under the bin folder on the site and displayed an error when trying to view the page.  The path looked something like this:

The title is a bit biased since I co-authored the book, but Professional IIS 7 will be out in print within a couple weeks and I highly recommend picking up a copy!

A question was asked on a forum that I frequent which I thought was worth writting a blog about.

Beta 2 of VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 which was just released a few minutes ago and is available for download.  I know I've been really quiet on my blog for a while.  I'm still around, just haven't freed up my time enough to do the blogging that I know I should.  I figured I would break my silence and mention this release.
