Unfortunately, a snafu by my hosting company, http:\/\/www.freeservers.com\/<\/a>, downgraded my hosting account. I visited my web site last Friday evening and saw a lot of advertising on my site. I called my hosting company to have that removed but then I discovered that the MySQL database was missing. WordPress keeps all the blog posts in a MySQL database so without that your blog is gone. I gave them a week to restore my data and when that did not happen I moved my web site to CrystalTech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I managed to restore all my old blog posts by searching for the text in the pages cached by the search engines. I just copied and pasted the text as new posts and then backdated them. I have lost a few comments and links may go to the wrong posts because the id numbers are screwed up. <\/p>\n

My new hosting company supports ASP.NET 3.5<\/strong> so I will be able to run web applications on my site. I plan to add some examples of my work to my portfolio. I can also create web services and widgets now that I have a site that can run them. <\/p>\n

In three weeks I will be flying to Florida to embark on the Carnival cruise ship for the YouCruise<\/strong>. I’m excited by this because I will get to meet my favorite vloggers and travel outside of the country for the first time. I’ve already booked my flight on Travelocity and bought some new carry-on luggage because electronics cannot be packed with your other luggage. <\/p>\n

Yahoo! has launched their own web site for social broadcasting, http:\/\/live.yahoo.com\/<\/a>. I already have an account there because I use Yahoo! for a lot of things and you always use the same account for all of their services. Of course, now that Microsoft plans to buy Yahoo! this will put a social broadcasting site in Microsoft’s hands and they will promptly kill it because they just don’t get it. I try to participate in their developer community but there is no real sense of community among those professionals.<\/p>\n

I’m very interested in an open source project which is meant to provide you with a “YouTube-In-A-Box”. Video.Show<\/a> is a video sharing site based on technology that I am familiar with; C#, Visual Studio, ASP.NET, SilverLight, and JavaScript. I plan to study this project to see if it is something that I can understand and implement. It would be pretty cool to have my own video sharing site. It is not as sophisticated as YouTube or LiveVideo. I don’t think it can be used for social networking because it lacks any means for users to communicate with each other.<\/p>\n

LiveVideo<\/a> recently launched a new and improved version of their site. They added text blogs, video chat rooms, and many other social networking features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
