CSS Fix

So apparently, this one CSS fix can help to identify which browser is being used, and specify styles for that one browser. I think I need to get into this to figure out why the RadWindow in DotNetNuke works great in Chrome but not in IE.

Worker Processes...Great question and answer.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2151251/asp-net-web-garden-how-many-worker-processes-do-i-need/2151390#2151390

 

What is the best practice for deciding how many worker processes to allow for an ASP.NET web application?

 

Worker processes are a way of segmenting the execution of your website across multiple exe's. You do this for a couple of reasons, one if one of the workers gets clobbered by run time issues it doesn't take the others down. For example, if a html request comes in that causes the process to run off into nothing then only the other requests that are being handled by that one worker processor get killed. Another example is that one request could cause blocking against the other threads handled by the same worker.

 

As far as how many you need, do some load testing. Hit the app hard and see what happens with only one. Then add some more to it and hit it again. At some point you'll reach a point of truly saturating the machines network, disk, cpu, and ram. That's when you know you have the right balance.

 

Incidentally, you can control the number of threads used per worker process via the machine.config file. I believe the key is maxWorkerThreads.

 

Now, beware, if you use session, Session state is not shared between worker processes. I generally recommend avoiding session anyway but it is something to consider.

 

For all intents and purposes you might consider each worker process as it's own separate web server. Except they are running on the same box.

Google Chrome on your Pages

So a while back I mentioned installing the Google Chrome engine for Internet Explorer to speed up page loads. HOWEVER…I failed to mention developing with the frame.

 

So here is the page that shows simple implementations to get your pages to load with the Google Chrome frame rather than IE even if you are using the IE browser.

 

http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/developers_guide.html

 

Unfortunately, DotNetNuke skins are not all designed to work with this frame rendering god among men, so I can’t use it until I redesign my DNN skins…but rest-assured, I will implement this change as soon as I make my skins cross-browser compatible.

I Am Legend - Omega Man - Last Man on Earth

I loved the movie I Am Legend starring Will Smith. There was something eerily familiar about it though and I couldn’t place my finger on it until yesterday when I somehow got into a conversation about Charlton Heston and she mentioned Omega Man.

 

I remember watching this movie when I was young and I wasn’t even sure what was happening some of the movie because I was a little too young to really appreciate it, but it’s the same movie…or at least it’s based on the same idea.

 

This was my introduction to apocalyptical films and I loved it! If you haven’t seen it check it out. I didn’t see it on Hulu, but here is a trailer for the movie…man this brings back memories! http://www.matttrailer.com/the_omega_man_1971

 

If you like movies that are a bit older or are a fan of Vincent Price, the original film starring him is available on Hulu entitled he Last Man on Earth. http://www.hulu.com/watch/46780/the-last-man-on-earth

 

Goodbye GoToMeeting - Hello OneEko!

The price is right…and….no install for the customer!

 

If they have flash, they see your screen. That simple!

 

http://www.oneeko.com/pricing.html

 

I tried it out as a plug-in for Skype. Every time I make or take a call, I get a pop-up that asks if I want to share my screen. One click for me, one click for them and we’re online.

 

This saved me so much time when trying to do a demo since the customer was having Java issues. I sent them to OneEko.com and had them type the meeting name in the top right..click…bing…sharing my screen!
