Re: Writing a CMS in asp.net MVC

Thanks for your input. We've made the decision to keep our framework in WebForms and not move into asp.net MVC, even though I would love to. It was a close call with many considerations for and against, I assume many people would have had to make this decision before? What was your outcome? We

Can someone tell me - How can I convert a unix man file to text readable under Windows? (w/o installing Cygwin) - it's not just the line endings that need to be handled. http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/rxp.txt rxp is an xml checker (I'm just curious about it), no docs except this file.

Thx Les - that was kind. Now I can see all those options! I was going to ask a mate, tomorrow - but thought I could use a text editor like TextPad5 (or some other) to do the conversion myself. (Then, got curious that I couldn't find a helpful link online) Ian

Sometimes stripping image metadata from a camera shot is a good thing. Before posting it on the internet, for instance, if you don't want data cross matching on camera ID, location, etc to happen. Often you don't care about it, but sometimes you do :) Yep! I read an article on this

I installed it on my Asus eee slate last night. First attempt left me in an endless boot loop telling me there was a problem. Maybe it was because I installed it in a pub? Backed up hard drive and formatted it, installing from scratch. Went much better second time. It makes my slate so much nicer

Please also play around with the developer tools, I'd suggest downloading the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonz/archive/2011/09/14/announcing-visual-studio-11-developer-preview.aspx) over the Express edition. One thing you should be aware of is that we only

To get it working on VirtualBox (assuming you had the same unexpected error that I got) you need to do this : In the settings for your virtual box, motherboard tab, make sure you have selected Enable IO APIC, then on the Processor tab, make sure Enable PAE/NX is selected. I have also read

I tried the x64 edition on VMware Workstation 7 yesterday but got about 30 seconds in and it had some catastrophic failure. I googled and it seems that your only options for virtualising it is Hyper-V, VMware Workstation 8 (apparently in beta), or there are some tutorials somewhere for getting it
