BlogX rev 10- February 20, 2003 OK, fixed a bunch of bugs that people reported. My RSS feed now validates (except for a validator bug that is reporting an escaped <p> as a relative URL). Fixes include: RSS feed only includes category (not dc:subject also) Comment page tells you no HTML allowed Comment page escapes email addresses Comment page has a specified rows & cols for textarea All pages use URL munging instead of query strings Fixed some spelling errors in the proxy project ...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/46471dac-d397-4a77-83c2-0448aecaa41f Blogx 1.0.0001.0009- February 19, 2003 Rev 9 is available... mostly fixes in WinForms front end. Some people at work are going to try and use this, so I figured I needed to fix some of the major usability issues. Also fixed a few minor issues with the web forms front end.http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/2fee4533-9dad-41ae-a6fc-fafbb1365ddc Sourceforge or GotDotNet workspaces- February 18, 2003 I think I want to move the source code for BlogX up to some shared space... has anyone had any expierence with either sourceforge or gotdotnet workspaces... GDN seemed to offer a nice GUI interface, but WinCVS worked nicely also, and I seem to remember hearing that Sourceforge runs CVS over the internet (I can't validate because they are offline right now... not a good sign <G>). Thoughts I guess another question - does anyone care if I put the source on a public server, or is...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/4a4d18b8-3efd-4c5d-90b3-2c8bf60632ae BlogX ...8- February 18, 2003 ok... first, I'm tired of the really long version numbers... I ran into an issue where I kept getting a null reference exception when I would try to get a new WinBlogX project (basically the link from the WinForms front end to a server). After some debugging I determined that if you have a WebMethod that returns an XmlSerializable object that has an Namespace="" in the attribute, the serializer crashes. Odd. I'll have to report this tomorrow. Anyway, the work around was kinda nasty, but...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/c4a6be82-0e75-4644-a03d-43af015c4d74 BlogX 1.0.0001.0007- February 18, 2003 Sorry to be a bother, but here is yet another build. I ran into a bunch of issues with the winforms client's wait dialog, etc. Basically I'm forcing myself to use the winforms front end. I desparately need a real HTML editor and viewer... maybe that should be my next project Another weird thing... My performance varies wildly on the web service calls. Normally their are taking 2s to complete, but once in a while I get a session that takes <100ms to make the request. I really don't.http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/11c2ebe8-cce7-49ba-b9e2-f011231b307a BlogX 1.0.0001.0006- February 17, 2003 Another day, another build... I moved all the configuration of the site into a separate directory... should make it easier for anyone to configure andor update blogx... Not sure how often people want to get builds... once a day is probably a bit much...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/39682fb0-4a9b-4973-a323-2fcacfcfb12f BlogX 1.0.0001.0005- February 17, 2003 Latest source and binaries. Main fix here was a horrible wait dialog... I was seeing my web service calls take less that 40ms against localhost, but almost 500ms against www.simplegeek.com. I need to investigate, but in the mean time at least the dialog and async web service invocation keeps the UI from hanging completely.http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/627c30ef-d06b-45f5-a50c-f0268c437f60 BlogX 1.0.0001.0004- February 16, 2003 Final source for the day. This marks 1 week of working on the software. I think i'm going to slow down and not play with it for a while (or if I do, I won't be uploading it contastantly). Added some more RSS features and made sure it works correctly in Syndirella. I still can't figure out why the WinForms front end is so slow once I go against my real server. The expierence of using the web services in IE is much faster than what I'm seeing. Oh well, it gives me something to work on. Note the...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/9cd3f67c-c100-4804-b142-0a83f9af8914 Radio is gone!- February 16, 2003 Wahoo! BlogX is now my primary software. I think this is good enough. You can get to the old homepage here, and all the comments, etc, are still live there - however I won't be adding new entries. My new RSS feed is here. I just tried (for the first time) using my WinForms front end across the internet. Queries are a bit slow. Running off local host is almost instantaneous, so I have to imagine that this is due to network issues. I'll probably have to tweak the application to do more...http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/475409f8-3d96-4582-8254-77b9d2dab729 BlogX 1.0.0001.0003- February 16, 2003 Lots of changes here... Added a CRUD web service front end and a query web service front end. There are now 7 projects in the sources: BlogCmd - command line radio to blogx converter BlogXRuntime - data model, shared by all BlogXServiceProxy - hand tweaked web service proxy WeblogX - ASP.NET front end & web services WinBlogX - WinForms front end (talks to web services) WinBlogXControls - Shared controls between WinBlogX and WoodBlog WoodBlog - "Legacy" WinForms front end WoodBlog was..http://www.simplegeek.com/permalink.aspx/204 |
