Restart machine:

/sbin/reboot

Restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2/restart

Check IP addresses:

ifconfig

This was all trying to add two new IP addresses to Apache, on a Ubuntu box over Putty. I found that I needed to edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf and add
Listen <IP>:80 for the new IP addresses.

About 2 days downtime trying to figure it out, but got it eventually.

Just got a Wacom tablet at the weekend, and then started looking for some practical application....
Not quite practical, but I was presently surprised with some Handwriting recognition by
ritePen.

I tried getting Microsoft INK to work, but I think it requires a tablet PC.

I was working on a larger Flex example this morning: Sending SMS via a webservice in Flex
But due to the Flash sandbox, there is a hurdle you have to jump, security wise, to access a webservice from Flash,
and it first shows it's ugly head with this exception:

[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://www.freebiesms.co.uk/sendSMS.asmx?wsdl)"]

    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/redirectEvent()

Which, after hunting on the Net, showed me that I needed a crossdomain.xml file thus:

<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="SOAPAction"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

- Oh, and I also found out that Webservice method names are case-sensitive, when I got this error:

[RPC Fault faultString="Couldn't find method 'sendSms' in service." faultCode="Client.NoSuchMethod" faultDetail="null"]
    at mx.rpc.soap::Operation/createFaultEvent()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\rpc\soap\Operation.as:978]

This is a few steps on how to use Code-behind with Flex & Visual Studio 2008.

Installed Ensemble Tofino  (With SDK)

This was my MXML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute">   
    <mx:Button x="45" y="33" label="Say Hello!" click="HelloWorld.click(event)"/>   
</mx:Application>

And the .AS file was:

package
{
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
   
    public class HelloWorld
    {
        public static function click(event:MouseEvent)
        {
            Alert.show("This responded to an event from code-behind");
        }
    }
}

Ideally, The Application Class should inherit from HelloWorld, so that the click event could be protected rather than
static; so it should be modified as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<my:HelloWorld xmlns:my="*"
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute">   
    <mx:Button x="45" y="33" label="Say Hello!" click="click(event)"/>   
</my:HelloWorld>

and the AS file thus:

package
{
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import mx.core.Application;
   
    public class HelloWorld extends Application
    {
        protected function click(event:MouseEvent)
        {
            Alert.show("This responded to an event from code-behind");
        }
    }
}

Freebie SMS Facebook App

Download link: Download Facebook App with source code in C#
Facebook link: Free SMS Facebook App

This is a Facebook App for sending free SMS messages to UK mobile phones,
It was created with the asp.net starter kit for C# 3.5. and can be downloaded from the links above
with full source code.

The only real departure from a standard asp.net page, is that it gets the 'from name' from the Facebook profile, like this:
      
       protected string GetUserName()
        {
            try
            {
                facebook.Schema.user userinfo = Master.API.users.getInfo(Master.API.uid);
                return userinfo.first_name;
            }
            catch
            {
                return "Someone";
            }
        }

Note, that the exception can be thrown on first load, before the user has accepted access to their own profile, hense
the try/catch

This is my experience with setting up SQL server Azure (2008), pretty difficult, and very buggy, to be honest,
my feeling is to stay away from the CTP, but here's my 'walkthrough'

I got this email a few days ago:

Welcome to the SQL Azure CTP!  We are excited to have you join us.  Below are some steps to get you started, as well as links to helpful resources. 

 

 Getting Started

1)     Visit https://sql.azure.com

2)     Sign in with a valid Windows LiveID

3)     Enter your invitation code

 Your invitation code is: d329171f-c1fd-4060-862e-1a7f613ea8ce

 4)     Create your SQL Azure Server (and databases)

 So I stepped through the process, and set up an Azure database, then I found that I needed SQL server 2008 to connect to it,

I downloaded  SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe from
http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=08E52AC2-1D62-45F6-9A4A-4B76A8564A2B&displaylang=en

During Install, said that I needed to reboot... when I had, so a work around was:

# Open Regedit
# Find the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager"
# Rename the "PendingFileRenameOperations" value to "PendingFileRenameOperations2"
# Re-Run the checks

Downloaded powershell:

Uninstalled SQL server management studio express

Uninstalled Visual studio 2008

It then crashed with this error:

1. cancel out of the first connection dialog that pops up.
2. click on the New Query button from the toolbar (upper left)
3. entered
       Server name: full servername
       Login: just the username (no @...)
4. Under Options, Connect to Database, (type your database here)
5. Hit connect.

And I got in... after an hour.

Now to figure out how to copy the databases!

I wanted to allow database downloads from my D: drive, but I got this 403 error, this is how I solved it in my Httpd.conf

Alias /db "D:\sqldata\backups"


<Directory "D:\sqldata\backups">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from localhost
Allow from all
</Directory>

Hope this helps

 

I recently moved javatiger.com from a Windows server to a Linux server, basically, to move some smaller sites off the main Windows server, and
I had spare VPS server that I could use for the purpose.

First step to set up Apache on the Linux server,

The site was in ASP, was indexed in Google, with Page Rank, so I didn't want to change the URLs, so I wanted to use mod_rewrite,
which I installed using Putty:

root@vps ~ # a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.
root@vps ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Forcing reload of web server (apache2)... waiting .

I then created a .htaccess file in the website root

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*).asp$ /$1.php [L,NC,R=301]
</IfModule>

Which rewrites all .asp requests to .php

I then changed the extension of all .asp files to .php,
and changed
<!--#include file="header.asp"--> to <?php include("header.php"); ?>

Oh, and I had a few glitches with case-sensitivity, which Windows is less strict about.

Overview

Create a windows service application written in .NET, that will check a Pop3 email account every 5 minutes (configurable in app.config).
On receipt of an email, in the format [number]@freebiesms.mobi, then the service will call a webservice,
(http://www.freebiesms.co.uk/sendsms.asmx?op=SendSms)

Using these parameters:

FromName: The From name in the email
FromNumber: Hard coded, as 00447834567890
ToNumber: The [number] in the email address
Message: The Body of the email, or subject line if no body. (Plain text)
locale: Derived from the prefix of the [number], 0044 is en-GB.
Full list of valid locales here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p_x5hMjj9OXDTjsYYhluJKQ
This list must be configurable in the app.config


Any response from the web service, either error or success must be sent back to the sender via email.

Points to note:

* Should support unicode, if email body in unicode (i.e. Russian) then the message should be in unicode.
* The service must run without any user interaction, any errors should be logged, and ignored. The service should not stop in the event
of any failure, just try again in 5 minutes.
* I would prefer .NET 1.1 if possible.
* Help with setting up the catch-all email address, and help with installation on the server is necessary.

Here is some code that was used as part of my IPhone App for sending SMS messages via SOAP;

I read in this month's VSJ that Blackberry are launching a IPhone-esque Appstore called "Blackberry Appworld", So, I went and created a developer account at Blackberry.com, and downloaded the VS2008 plugin.

I dropped on a button and label onto the form, and clicked the button, and added the code:

function Form1_btnSayMyName_Click()
{
    Dialog.display("hello world");
}

I ran the project, and then I can now click on the button, and it says "Hello World".

Now, that's the short version,

The long version, is that I had to reboot my computer twice, disable my anti-virus, and anti-worm protection, switch to the 8100 emulator, rather than the default, and generally trawl through unhelpful debug information such as this gem:



Access violation reading from 0x00000008

I was recently asked if .NET webservices could be used from PHP, and the answer is they can.
Thanks to a toolkit called nusoap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/)

I managed to get the Google Web search webservice working (client3.php)

Here's the output:

We've just put the development of an IPhone application out to tender, at http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/375783.html

So, any budding Mac developers who are interested in pitting their skills against the IPhone SDK are welcome to place a bid on GetAFreelancer. Bidding closes in 7 days.

The full specifications can be seen at:

I came across a great little tool, called Gliffy, for creating online diagrams, for example, here's one I made earlier,

http://www.gliffy.com/publish/1588170/

Showing a simple database design for a rental website. It was really easy to create, although it's a pitty they have a 30 day limit on
the free account.

I read with interest this month's MSDN magazine article on COM reflection. The article provides an example of using reflection to uncover hidden properties and methods of the Speech library, and also explains how the elusive System.__ComObject can give up its goodies, so to speak.

It works fine on the sample Speech API DLL on the site, however, it isn't so hot when it comes to Sage. I tried plugging in some common CLSID's from Sage's inner workings, but it gave up no further information. I then tried passing a System.__ComObject to it, with the following code;

Dim oUnknown As Object = o.GetCompanies("C:\Program Files\Sage\Accounts")
DumpCOMObject(oUnknown)

However, it crashed out when IDispatch::GetTypeInfoCount returned 0. According to MSDN reference this is done to prevent run-time inspection of the DLL, perhaps for security purposes.

So, I guess this is a bit of an anti-pattern when it comes to Sage development, but I hope that this research saves another developer some time when it comes to trying to figure out the million dollar question 'what do I cast this object to now?
