    Sry for the stupid question...

    I sent mine a couple days ago and it got answered within 24 hours. I think I read an earlier post by you where you sent multiple tickets ... people who were doing that were getting their tickets sent to the bottom of the stack. Anyway, the most up-to-date answer to our question is actually in...

    X10 Chess tournament

    OK, here's what I have ... this is obviously incomplete ... link will be below ... I'll repeat what I said earlier. If the readers want a one-time chess tourney, Yahoo Chess is the fastest way to do this. Everything below is me sharing what I already have. What I have: - Chess game that can...

    Being a trusted publisher

    I won't. It took me two days to translate the chess app from C++ to C# (ClickOnce only works with C# and Visual Basic).

    Being a trusted publisher

    I saw .NET had their own Installer but I'm currently where I am because of one word - easy. ClickOnce seemed 50X easier than building my own Installer based upon .NET's Installer class. Even if I don't stay with it longterm, I'll be happy in the short-term to have something at least friends can...

    FrontPage Extensions

    For me to "Publish" a C# App from Microsoft Visual Studio, Frontpage extensions are required. I just successfully published so something's working. I'm sure some feedback from actual Frontpage users will give you a better warm fuzzy. M

    Hello World!

    Simple rules: Say "Hello World!" in a natural or computer language and tell us what language you're speaking. Language: ANSI-C

    Sry for the stupid question...

    I'm in your boat. Luckily for me I'm not in a hurry and I'm still making my website/content locally. But it'll be using ASP.NET. After reading your post I created a small "Hello World" in ASP.NET and it didn't work. I submitted a ticket and they said ASP.NET would be down until they post...

    how can we earm money with our site

    I'm new to all this but I think it comes down to your product/idea, your site/app quality, and your marketing. You definitely need the first two and unless you get lucky you'll probably need to market your website or product too. 1. Product/idea - no one is going to repeatedly visit your...

    Which IDE do you use?

    These tools all overlap and most of us use multiple tools. But I think most of us have our comfort zone and preference. I've seen engineers who are skilled with emacs and they edit text files faster than I can even grasp what heck they're doing ... and given any type of work they'll always do...

    Hi all! - and a question ;)

    Do a search for "NS1.X10HOSTING.COM" and you'll find existing forum posts that explain the process. Another way to find the answer is to click the "Support" button on the right of this page (under "Modify Account") and read some of the Knowledge Base links.

    How old your current computer?

    I have a 1.5 year old desktop ($400) and a 3-4 month old laptop ($700). I tend to buy frequently and buy low end. I imagine my $400 desktop will outperform a $2000 4-5 year old desktop. The only reason I spent $700 on my laptop was b/c I was bent on getting a 6-7 hour battery life. I hate...

    Please review my Photography website

    I only took a glance but I would suggest that your initial page give the web surfer no doubt that your website is focused on photography - add pictures, thumbnails, pictures fading, flash, ... just something visual. At first glance I would guess your website was a personal "about me" website...

    going from asp classic to asp.net help

    I have zero experience with ASP which is why I initially didn't respond. However, if you choose to learn ASP.NET then should you ever want to learn C# or Visual Basic the transition will be very easy. All three of these are Microsoft specific languages so you'll be tying yourself to...

    X10 Chess tournament

    I think Yahoo Chess is the quickest and easiest alternative to running a one-time X10 users chess tourney. But some interesting ideas might come out of this too ...

    Iphone

    Did anyone go out and get the new Iphone or talk to anyone who did? I own an iphone and having read the reviews don't see what the hype is about. I'll probably still get a new one as I'd like to have the real GPS rather than using the less accurate cell tower triangulation. As an additional...

    X10 Chess tournament

    Gotcha. That's useful and I'll probably need to change my program to match that protocol to avoid writing my own engine. I'll look at it more as I get back into this. (As an aside, I really wanted to write my own engine but I know that even if I do a really good job it's still not going to...

    X10 Chess tournament

    The good news is several years ago I programmed in Java ... Can't help you there ... I'm slightly familiar since I just took a glance at the wikipedia entry for Winboard/Xboard. ;) I did my chess game on my own without any shared libraries. It's in C++ currently. I'll make a page to...

    X10 Chess tournament

    I could probably custom design a chess app for those interested to use. It might take about a week since it isn't a priority. I wrote a chess game already intending to sell it on phones. It is mostly finished less two categories - pretty graphics and a chess engine. Obviously, for this...

    Which IDE do you use?

    I'm currently doing most of my work in C# with MS Visual Studio but that's mostly because I transitioned from doing a lot of non-web work using C++ and MS Visual Studio. Going from MS Visual Studio C++ to PHP looks like a big scary leap.
