Things I have learnt to day 22 Feb 2009

That in the web.config file there is a line that tell the website where to find the SQL server.

This line is 

<add name="OnlineOrderSystemConnectionString" connectionstring="Data Source=SERVERXXXXX;Initial Catalog=DBXXXX;User ID=SAXXX;Password=PASSXXX" providername="System.Data.SqlClient">


now the serverXXXX can be the server name or I also learn just "."
the catolog I belive is the database
user and password are the use and password for the database

This a learn since we were getting an error using a website something like this

ASP.NET to identify an incoming user. 
Line 28: --> Line 29: <authentication mode="Windows

which was caused by there being two web.config files for one site

Arriving in town we could see things were different. We walked past the Market in St Georges mall and saw almost no one there.  As we carried on walking towards the Grand Parade we heard first the motorbikes, then the people. Even though it was not yet noon, the crowd that had gathered was substantial, a lot more than the legal limit of 8,000.

After some politically charged messages we started a slow march towards Parliament via Buitenkant. It was a slow march with some politically charged chanting – but was peaceful. When we got close to parliament as we could I realized there were a lot of people there.  Pers...

Balance

By
Category: Ponderous When ever you talk to "life coaches" they talk about balance. What is balance, well it is there way of saying spend more time on personal things. That is not balance that is spending more time on personal things. Balance is what people tell you to get, when you are spending too much time trying to ensure that each day when the bills come you do not have a panic attack. So let's say you decide to take some personal time – get more balance in your life.

Balance implies there is a fulcrum and, and to much of any time on the one side of the fulcrum, is going to tip in other way, surely believing in balance is in itself a limiting belief. What you need to strive for is a pie chart of your time spent the way that is most beneficial to you as a person. The real limit we have is time (...
