Error loading Windows Live Writer

While working on one of my project that supports MetaWeblog Api I encounter an issue with Windows Live Writer.  After an error occur from our server, I can no longer open Windows Live Writer all i see is the splash screen then it will close.  I deleted every thing that is related to Live Writer from my PC, from temporary files to post files, even uninstalled and reinstall everything in Windows Live Essentials with no luck.

After googling for a lot of keyword combination I came into Ning Zhang’s blog and it gives me an idea where to look for additional information about Live Writer in the registry.  Then I found out that the issue is with the URI of the latest blog I have open.  It looks something like the one below.

http://localhost:1234/vivosocial/Blog/tabid/120/Default.aspx

This is a valid URL when you are running  ASP.Net Development Server,   However if the Server is close the URL will no longer work.  Maybe that is why Live Writer keeps closing because it can’t resolve the URL or Maybe it is because of the colon “:” in the URL.  I am not sure but I am just thankful that I will be able to continue working with my project again...

Simple Color Picker - a jQuery color picker control

It's been a while since I build this small plugin for jQuery, While browsing through my files I try to see if this plugin still works with the latest version of jQuery which is 1.3.2 and it did. I have updated the sample and change the file names so it is easy to recognize. I also move the downloads to my google site, Download here . Focus on the input box below or click on the box next to the control to show color picker. Basic Sample jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker").attachColorPicker(); }); Change Background jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker1").attachColorPicker(); $("#vtrColorPicker1").change(function() { $("#content-wrapper").css("background-color",$("#vtrColorPicker1").getValue()); });

dnnAlert and dnnConfirm jQuery Plugin

I like the idea of using jQuery Plugins in DNN for interactive and consistent user interface which is why I digg into using dnnAlert and dnnConfirm plugins, however after a quick look on the documentation I notice the following. For dnnAlert you can't set the title. We are allowed to set the OK button text using okText option but not the dialog title? For dnnConfirm. This is very usefull when you just want a confirmation dialog upon click on your button or link however you can't use it like javascript confirm function or at least I don't know how to use it like below: if(confirm('Question?')){//some code}

A javascript library for formatting and manipulating numbers.

Numeral.js , while less complex, was inspired by and heavily borrowed from  Moment.js  so if you have use momentjs before you should be familiar with this library. Numbers can be formatted to look like currency, percentages and more. How to use: numeral(1000).format('0,0') returns 1,000 numeral(1230974).format('0.0a') returns 1.2m numeral(1000.234).format('$0,0.00') returns $1,000.23 numeral(1230974).format('($ 0.00 a)') returns $ 1.23 m numeral(1).format('0%') returns 100% numeral(0.974878234).format('0.000%') returns 97.488% For more sample and options go to  http://numeraljs.com/ .
