I NEED desperately a simple form of building a simple template for simple forms …

What should be the design pattern ? At what level should be the update panel ? What’s the implication on network efficiency ?

I’ll check some msdnmags and some articles from Jeff Prosise and Dino Esposito.

Must test ,.. 1 Update Panel per-page vs 1UpdatePanel per Usercontrol… and then there is the issue on FileUpload…

Well everything installed…. and puff,.. I guess I must configure stuf.Using it standalone,.. doesn’t need to configure stuff. Just Create Rep and add stuff.. anhkSVN works like a charm . Tested with Sob’s online rep.. works OK. Love the Blame feature.

Now .. after considering a couple of issues I guess I should be better with configuring a repository for each Project…

I’m somewhat of a Technical Manager/ SW Architect/ Code Monkey of a company that sells time.

Our customers are mainly large company departments from 10 to 50 users.

Just after defining a project scope and vision we should come up with a document which should be the basis of the future work.

By now Architecture should be our first concern. One should give a stroll thru Microsoft Architecture Overview – Skyscrapr .

In summary: business, application, information, and technology perspectives.

Requirements!

And then the roller-coaster trip begins: Software Estimation – Skyscrapr

A Provider Requirements document should be closed before proceeding.

Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called onion routers, protecting you from websites that build profiles of your interests, local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit, and even the onion routers themselves.

Tor’s security is improved as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run servers. Please consider volunteering your time or volunteering your bandwidth. And remember that this is development code—it’s not a good idea to rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.

Netsh is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. Netsh can also save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or to help you configure other servers.

The following Netsh commands can be used in scripts or at the command line to configure Windows Firewall:

•    add allowedprogram

•    set allowedprogram

•    delete allowedprogram

•    set icmpsetting

•    set multicastbroadcastresponse

•    set notifications

•    set logging

•    set opmode

•    add portopening

•    set portopening

•    delete portopening

•    set service

•    show

Some examples:

Netsh firewall>show portopening – active ports

Netsh firewall>show config – network cards configuration

Netsh firewall>show opmode – check if firewall is enable or disable

Netsh firewall>show allowedprogram – list of allowed programs

Netsh firewall>set portopening TCP 5900 VNC – allow exception to VNC port

Netsh firewall>set allowedprogram c:\nmap\nmap.exe Nmap enable – add nmap application to the exceptions firewall list

Administrative Template files contain markup language that is used to describe registry-based Group Policy. First released in Windows NT 4, Administrative Template files used a unique file format known as ADM files. In Windows Vista, these files are replaced by an XML-based file format known as ADMX files. These new Administrative Template files make it easier to manage registry-based policy settings in Windows Vista and Windows Server “Longhorn”. Read More…

This can be very useful. Virtualization becomes even more scalable.
