An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.
If you are trying to use the ASP.NET website administration tool and are getting a web page stating "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." it is possible that you have the same error as me (see below). Another symptom is clicking on the "How do I use this tool?" link and being presented with a message stating "Tool Has Timed Out".
It would appear that Microsoft, in its wisdom, has developed a tool that cannot handle the path of the web application it is designed to administer containing non-standard characters. Or spaces. To fix, simply copy your solution to a path that doesn't contain any non-standard characters. Or spaces.
eg. Changing C:\Will (Not.) Work\see.sln to C:\WillWork\see.sln
It's an easy fix to a problem most likely created by a tool both from, and within, Microsoft.
Sentence and Word Analysis #2
This as part two of my post on sentence and word analysis. In part one I discussed my motives for analysing the RSS feed in question. In this post I shall be building upon my initial findings and presenting the C# and SQL code that I used to do so.
I have continued to run the RSS reader periodically and now have 284 job descriptions to analyse. I have run through the initial results and identified the words and sentences that are irrelevant and placed these into a keywords table so that I may strip them from my results. This was quite a lengthy process as there were a significant number of these to exclude - nearly a thousand. Following that, I looked through the results and because of the different permutations of the keywords that I was looking for it was evident that I would need to look within the top 100 words/phrases to identify the ones that I was interested in. I made a decision to leave in keywords that related to job skills in addition to computer languages.
The top 100 keyword/skills results from analysis of 284 job descriptions. The analysis took 9.5 minutes to run.

A link to a backup of the database may be found here: jobs.zip (392.41 kb)
You will need to restore this into SQL Server before the .NET code (below) will work.
A link to the .NET code (C#) is here: RssReader.zip (3.48 kb)
You will need to modify the App.Config file to point to your RSS feed and database.
To run the analysis on the sentances in the database you'll need to execute the 'analyse' stored procedure. Once that has finished execuiting you'll need to perform a select from the 'analysis_results' view to view the results.
Telephones and 24 (the TV series)
Having watched 24 (the TV series), I have always wanted a Cisco phone that would ring with the same ringtone as used by CTU. To get the ringtone onto the phones I needed to enable the TFTP server on the router and edit the ringlist.xml file as so:
<CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
<Ring>
<DisplayName>CTU 24</DisplayName>
<FileName>ctu.raw</FileName>
</Ring>
</CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
Having tried to follow the Cisco guidelines to create the ringtone myself (unsuccessfully – it kept skipping and not repeating itself correctly), I stumbled upon a site that allowed me to download a ringtone that worked. That ringtone can be found here: ctu.raw. If you copy the ringtone onto your router and reset the phones then you should be in business.
Below are some images of my Cisco 7912G phone hooked up to Unified CallManager Express runningon my Cisco 2801 router.
Logged on to Cisco Unified CallManager Express, power suppiled via PoE.
Selection of the CTU 24 ringtone from the settings menu.
My Server Room
Below are some images of my server room. It's located as far away from earshot as possible which isn't easy considering it's in a small flat!
Well, here's my server cabinet. You can see I've still got 6U free, so that should leave space for UPS, NAS, and a few more servers!
Here's an up close image of my Cisco 2801 router and my Linksys SWR2024W switch. You can also see a bit of my 48-port patch panel.
Here is my messy wiring. About 40 of the ports are patched to outlets but you can see I currently have hardly any of them connected. I'm waiting on patch cables as I have a very low success rate when crimping my own.
