Experts from an interview from John Sculley fomer CEO of APPLE

2010-11-29T15:55:00.000+05:30

Long post. But I like this one.

Q: Of course, Apple is famous for the same kind of lifestyle advertising now. It shows people living an enviable lifestyle, courtesy of Apple’s products. Hip young people grooving to iPods…

Sculley. What Steve’s brilliance is, is his ability to see something and then understand it and then figure out how to put into the context of his design methodology — everything is design.

An anecdotal story, a friend of mine was at meetings at Apple and Microsoft on the same day and this was in the last year, so this was recently. He went into the Apple meeting (he’s a vendor for Apple) and when he went into the meeting at Apple as soon as the designers walked in the room, everyone stopped talking because the designers are the most respected people in the organization. Everyone knows the designers speak for Steve because they have direct reporting to him. It is only at Apple where design reports directly to the CEO.

Later in the day he was at Microsoft. When he went into the Microsoft meeting, everybody was talking and then the meeting starts and no designers ever walk into the room. All the technical people are sitting there trying to add their ideas of what ought to be in the design. That’s a recipe for disaster.

Microsoft hires some of the smartest people in the world. They are known for their incredibly challenging test they put people through to get hired. It’s not an issue of people being smart and talented. It’s that design at Apple is at the highest level of the organization, led by Steve personally. Design at other companies is not there. It is buried down in the bureaucracy somewhere… In bureaucracies many people have the authority to say no, not the authority to say yes. So you end up with products with compromises. This goes back to Steve’s philosophy that the most important decisions are the things you decide NOT to do, not what you decide to do. It’s the minimalist thinking again.

Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job

Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job

Searching for a job can suck if you constrain yourself to the typical tools such as online jobs boards, trade publications, CraigsList, and networking with only your close friends. In these kinds of times, you need to use all the weapons that you can, and one that many people don’t—or at least don’t use to the fullest extent, is LinkedIn.

LinkedIn has over thirty-five million members in over 140 industries. Most of them are adults, employed, and not looking to post something on your Wall or date you. Executives from all the Fortune 500 companies are on LinkedIn. Most have disclosed what they do, where they work now, and where they’ve worked in the past. Talk about a target-rich environment, and the service is free.

Here are ten tips to help use LinkedIn to find a job. If you know someone who’s looking for a job, forward them these tips along with an invitation to connect on LinkedIn. Before trying these tips, make sure you’ve filled out your profile and added at least twenty connections

1.

Get the word out. Tell your network that you’re looking for a new position because a job search these days requires the “law of big numbers” There is no stigma that you’re looking right now, so the more people who know you’re looking, the more likely you’ll find a job. Recently, LinkedIn added “status updates” which you can use to let your network know about your newly emancipated status.

Provider (0x80004005) unspecified - ASP

0x80004005 errors are related to permission en security issues.

This could be the problem. You're opening the db twice.

There are two things you can do.

Check the connection state if the connection is already open why should you try to open it again?

or

Close the recordset and connection en set the objects to nothing at the end.

if objConn.state = 1 then
objConn.close

Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005' AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed

2008-04-22T10:51:00.001+05:30

Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed

loader.asp error
------------------
CAUSE
This issue occurs if a Content-Length header is present and if the Content-Length
header specifies an amount of data that is larger than the value of the

AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property in the IIS metabase.

The default value for the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property is 204,800 bytes.

Note Always back up the metabase before you edit it.

inetpub\adminscripts

at the command prompt

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/ASPMaxRequestEntityAllowed [size]

[size max value 1,073,741,824 bytes.]

------------------------------------------------

You may receive a 403 error when you use an ASP request to upload a large file in Internet Information Services
View products that this article applies to.
Article ID : 327659
Last Review : December 3, 2007
Revision : 4.2
This article was previously published under Q327659
Important This article contains information about editing the metabase. Before you edit the metabase, verify that you have a backup copy that you can restore if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, see the "Configuration Backup/Restore" Help topic in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
SYMPTOMS
When you use an Active Server Pages (ASP) request to upload a large file to a computer where Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1, or Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is installed, the upload may fail. You may also receive a 403 error response or an error message that is similar to one of the following:

Error message 1
Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005' Operation not Allowed :
Error message 2
007~ASP 0104~Operation not Allowed
When you post lots of form data to an ASP page, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Error ’80020009’ Exception occurred
Additionally, the file upload may fail when you use the Response.binaryWrite method.

You experience one or more of these symptoms even though the same file upload worked in earlier versions of IIS.

Back to the top
CAUSE
This issue occurs if a Content-Length header is present and if the Content-Length header specifies an amount of data that is larger than the value of the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property in the IIS metabase. The default value for the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property is 204,800 bytes.

Note This metabase property was first included in the October 2002 cumulative update for IIS. This metabase property is included in a default installation of IIS 6.0.

Back to the top
RESOLUTION
Warning If you edit the metabase incorrectly, you can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall any product that uses the metabase. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result if you incorrectly edit the metabase can be solved. Edit the metabase at your own risk.

Note Always back up the metabase before you edit it.

To resolve this issue, modify the value in the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property to set the maximum number of bytes that are permitted in the entity body of an ASP request. To do this, follow these steps:
1. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd drive:\inetpub\adminscripts
Note In this command to change folders, drive is a placeholder for the hard disk where IIS is installed.
2. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/ASPMaxRequestEntityAllowed size
Note In this command, size is a placeholder for the largest file size upload that you want to allow. The maximum value is 1,073,741,824 bytes. Set this value to the lowest possible value that allows for the functionality that you want.
3. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
iisreset

Back to the top
MORE INFORMATION
The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property specifies the maximum number of bytes that are permitted in the entity body of an ASP request. If a Content-Length header is present and if the Content-Length header specifies an amount of data that is larger than the value of the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property, IIS returns a 403 error response. The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property applies only to PUT requests and to POST requests. The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property does not apply to GET requests. Because this metabase property applies only to ASP, other Internet Server API (ISAPI) extensions are not affected.

The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property is related in function to the MaxRequestEntityAllowed property. However, the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property is specific to ASP requests. You can set the MaxRequestEntityAllowed property to 1 megabyte (MB) at the World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW Service) level. Then, you can set the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property to a smaller value if you know that your specific ASP applications handle a smaller amount of data.

The page cannot be found HTTP 404 - File not found.

In SharePoint Portal Server 2003 portal site or a Windows SharePoint Services Web site

CAUSE
This issue occurs if you do not configure an exclusion for the path of the new virtual directory. If you do not want SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or Windows SharePoint Services to handle requests for content in the virtual directory, you must exclude the path of the virtual directory.

Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure an exclusion for the path of the new virtual directory. Follow these steps:
1. Start Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration.
2. Under Virtual Server Configuration on the Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration page, click Configure virtual server settings.
3. On the Virtual Server List page, click the virtual server that you want to configure. For example, click Default Web Site.
4. Under Virtual Server Management on the Virtual Server Settings page, click Define managed paths.
5. In the Add a New Path area of the Define Managed Paths page, type the path that you want to exclude from Windows SharePoint Services in the Path box. For example, type /NameOfVirtualDirectory.
6. Under Type, click Excluded path, and then click OK.
7. Verify that the path that you excluded is listed in the Excluded paths area of the Define Managed Paths page.

Drag Drop example using asp and Java script translated from php version.

From the website

http://www.cyberdummy.co.uk/2005/07/13/multi-list-drag-and-drop/

Uses two files Login.asp & dd1.asp

Part of dd1.asp
-----------------

DIM strConnString '''''''''''''' Your connection string for your database ''''''''''''''' strConnString = "" DIM rsUpdate,sqlUpdate,strColPosi DIM strLoginId strLoginId = SESSION("LOGINID") 'response.write strLoginId strColPosi = request.form("strColPosi") DIM objConn,rsPositionLeft,strSQLLeft DIM rsPositionCenter,strSQLCenter DIM rsPositionRight,strSQLRight SET objConn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 'Open Connection objConn.Open strConnString SET rsUpdate = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") ''''''''''---------------------'''''''''''''' DIM data,strOrder2,strOrder3 DIM intCounter , containers , container DIM lastly , i ,values , value ,final , strColValue data = request.form("order") if len(data) >=1 then
i = 0
containers =Split(data,":")

for each container in containers

container = replace (container,")", "")

lastly = split(container,"(")

for intCounter=0 to ubound(lastly)
'response.write(lastly(intCounter) & "
")
next
'response.write(lastly(0) & "
")
strColValue = lastly(0)
values = split(lastly(1), ",")

for each value in values
'response.write(value & " " & i & "
" )
i = i + 1
sqlUpdate = "update layout set set1 = '" & strColValue & "', order1 = " & i & " where item1 = '" & value & "' and Login_id = " & strLoginId

rsUpdate.open sqlUpdate,objConn,3,3

' rsUpdate.update

next
' response.write( "
")

next

end if

''''''''''---------------------''''''''''''''

SET rsPositionLeft = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

strSQLLeft = "SELECT * FROM layout WHERE set1 ='left_col' and Login_Id=" & strLoginId & " ORDER BY order1 ASC"
rsPositionLeft.open strSQLLeft,objConn,3,3

SET rsPositionCenter = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

strSQLCenter = "SELECT * FROM layout WHERE set1 = 'center' and Login_Id=" & strLoginId & " ORDER BY order1 ASC"
rsPositionCenter.open strSQLCenter,objConn,3,3

SET rsPositionRight = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

strSQLRight = "SELECT * FROM layout WHERE set1 = 'right_col' and Login_Id=" & strLoginId & " ORDER BY order1 ASC"
rsPositionRight.open strSQLRight,objConn,3,3

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Uses two tables : Layout and dd_Master

Layout table Fields
--------------------
Primary key set1 data type text
primary key item1 data type text
order1 data type number
Primary Key Login_Id data type number

dd_Master table Fields
--------------------
Primary Key Login_Id data type autoNumber

Login_Name data type text
Password data type text

DotNetNukes .Net Open Source Framework for web applications

2007-07-18T13:48:00.001+05:30

I just installed

DotNetNuke a free, Open Source Framework ideal for creating Enterprise Web Applications.

It has great functionalities. From creating a web site, a blog, etc.

Creating users for editing page contents. Giving rights to users to edit pages or modules in pages.

One thing I found difficult is changing the skins. The one provided with DotNetNuke is not so helpful.
