Hands up if you use FrontPage

Okay – My name is Julie and I use FrontPage. I use FrontPage for the family websites: my parent’s dog kennel, my sister’s business and a few others. You know these sites, they are 95% static html and you are doing it for love (not money). Why not? My sister’s business does use a little asp and we even use an asp.net site for her to maintain store lists which are served back to the FrontPage site via web services.

So don’t be shy. I can admit it. And now the reason I brought this up was to preface the fact that Lisa Wollin, who is the content manager for the FrontPage Developer center is blogging some good FrontPage tips.

Generics in WSE3.0

I have been playing with WSE3.0 this week and when stuffing some credentials into my web service proxy the other night, I discovered that the new wse3 namespace method for doing that makes use of generics. This *is* designed to integrate specifically with …[more]…

Leaving the INETA NORAM Board

At the INETA NORAM User Group Leader Summit on June 5, a new board was announced. I am no longer on the INETA NORAM board. The original board members and founders of INETA (Bill Evjen, Brian Loesgen, Keith Franklin, Keith Pleas) as well as myself (I was not a founding board member) are now on the Advisory Board for INETA NORAM. It was actually the old board that voted in the new board.

I am also [finally] passing on the production of the monthly INETA Newsletter that I have been doing for the past three years. The first two years, I did this on my own and then I finally I had Sheri Nawrocki’s phenomenal help (she did the design, artwork and physical production, which is why it has been looking so beautiful) as well as some great editing assistance from Scott Swigart 

If I had kids, I might liken this to watching your kids go off to college. 

INETA has come a long (enormously long) way and accomplished incredible things in the past 3 years. It has gotten to a point where it has outgrown its grassroots roots (sic) and needs to be run like a professional organization. That’s just not somewhere that I shine (reports? concalls? plans? agendas? minutes? phew!), but it is a perfect role for the new President, Chris Pels (who is one of the most organized people I know) and the rest of the nine member board.

Watch the INETA website for further information about the changes to INETA. I am not leaving INETA (it would take a total blood transfusion as well as a heart replacement to do that!). I am still a liaison and my role on the Advisory board will keep me involved with what is going on.

Little Discoveries in your Daily Tools

One of the great difficulties of programming is having to accept the fact that we can’t know every little function and feature that exist in our development tools. In the old days it was easy to write an application from end to end, understand all that was available to you in your IDE and database and even fix your …[more]…
