Hey All, While perusing the InfoWorld site today and seriously considering whether or not I want to drop my free subscription (most of their writers are complete idiots (layman term that they'll understand)), I came across the writings of Randall...
"Unable to start debugging on the Web server. The IIS worker process for the launched URL is not currently running." This post is mostly for myself so that I don't forget the information, but when setting up a web site on a Windows Server...

Microsoft in it's infinite wisdom has decided that Bluetooth is not for servers. I ask, what about voice mail systems, developer workstations, and whatever else the user needs it for? Well, the post Installing the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack on Windows...
I believe that this software was first introduced to windows with Windows 2000 and used to default to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only", but this has changed with Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008. It...
Well, it's been well over a year since I last rebuilt my workstation, so I decided to install Windows Server 2008 (WS2008) on it since more than 95% of the development that I do is based on IIS. I had toyed around with Vista Ultimate a few times,...
Hey All, I thought that I should probably let everyone know that I'm still around, just extremely busy. As some of you I've been working on a credit reporting web site, in particular, the security system. I started with the sample .NET Membership...
Hey Guys, I've been wanting to post the thousands of pictures that I have taken over the years and never really had a good platform to do this until I started using Community Server, which is the software that this site is running on. So tonight,...
WARNING: THE FINAL SENTENCE OF THIS POST MAY GROSS YOU OUT! Hey All, I went to another MSDN event yesterday, mostly for the AJAX.NET stuff, but the first presentation was for CardSpace. The only thing that I knew about CardSpace before the presentation...

Even though both of the posts that I will reference are Community Server related, I decided to make this a personal post as the templates can be used by anyone, for pretty much any purpose: Dave Burke created a very cool post entitled, " A Few Site...
The title rhymes, so what the hey. Well, it looks like my April Fools joke Site Policies: Effective Immediately , went over pretty well. Dave Burke got a kick out of it and even tried to make it more visible with Bill Bosacker is out of control , but...
Due to the large number of free loaders in the open source community, we have decided to enact the following policy changes: Effective immediately, anyone who wishes to use the site will be required to create an account. All users will be required to...
Well, I think I found the issue. We'll see what happens when I publish this post, but I'm fairly certain I figured it all out. Here is the issue: The Mirror Feed settings for a blog only show when you are in grid view. The Mirror Feed setting...
