 10:23:33 AM Generate an RSS file from Exchange. Scott Hanselman, fellow RD and a .NET guru, shares the source to a very cool idea. The application pulls items and mail out of Outlook or Exchange Public Folders and creates an RSS (rich site summary) XML feed that can be aggregated by anynumber of Blog/RSS Aggregators. You can find the ZIP at the RD Code Center. There are some other cool .NET examples there as well.

| 4:38:51 PM Freemind: an incredible thought organization tool. I've been using an open-source tool called FreeMind for the past couple of days. This is hands-down the most incredible brainstorming / thought organization tool that I've ever seen. FreeMind is essentially a fancy XML editor. It lets you create single-rooted recursive hierarchies of information. But the presentation and editing is so powerful and intuitive that it pretty much eliminates any friction involved in restructuring your XML document. You also have the ability to link to external URL's and external files. The way I use FreeMind is to initially capture a mind-dump of ideas relating to a single topic. Then I start noticing clusters of ideas that relate to one another and I use FreeMind to reorganize those ideas into their natural order. See for yourself. Surf over to the FreeMind homepage on SourceForge. Make sure that you check out the screenshots of the program. It was worth reinstalling the Java runtime on my computer just to run this application.[iunknown.com] 7/28/2003 |

| 7:13:50 AM YARR Yet Another RSS Reader. While preparing for our one day pre-conference tutorial at VS Connections, I decided to build YARR (Yet Another RSS Reader) as a sample application. I felt it was a particularly interesting sample application since it represented the intersection of four different technology spheres: XML, [D]HTML, SQL, and C#. I presented it to our students in the class in about an hour or so. I also presented it as an application that is ripe for code generation since I feel that code generation lets you efficiently capture cross-technology abstractions. I'm placing a drop of the source code for YARR here, for anyone who may be interested in taking a look. To install / setup the code, you need to run the SQL script from solutionsql in the ZIP file. I have a nice little command-line batch file that will run the osql command line utility from you. Just modify the script to point to your SQL server, and optionally change the login that you want to use to create the database schema. The only other bit of tweaking you might want to do is to copy the included default.htm file to the c:temp directory (or modify the sources to read the default HTML page that is displayed in IE from somewhere else). Comments / feedback would be welcome. Next up tomorrow is to rewrite this sample app using code generation.[IUnknown.com: John Lam's Weblog on Software Development] |

Circus-DTE is intended for environments in which document portals abound and documents and data must move on the Web or in business processes, according to Xerox. The language is intended to provide a middle ground between a general-purpose, low-level language that needed lengthy development of complex algorithms and a high-level, but inflexible, approach to build applications that translate documents and data among different formats so that they can be read by any application or on any device.

| 2:04:00 PM I have some time to spare this morning, and thought of an interesting thing to do. I'm going to figure out which Creative Commons license should apply to the module I designed last week, and then, following Denise Howell's advice (she's a lawyer) apply it. The first thing I did was run the CC license chooser, it suggested the attribution license. My intent is to let people do anything they want with my module, change it, enhance it, commercialize it, but I want credit for originating it. The next step is to get a bit of HTML code to put on the page. The CC site supplies this code here. I added it to a section at the end of the module. Comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.

3:48:36 PM Using VBScript to run a program
VBScript can be used instead of a batch file to perform setup and cleanup operations before and after running another program.
For games, we might need to:
- load the CD image
- change controller preferences
- change screen resolution
The VBScript syntax is:
object.Run(strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn{=false}])
Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
oShell.run "cmd /K CD C:\ & Dir"
Set oShell = Nothing
For Paragon CD-ROM Emulator, the command line would be:
Cdman /command:e'-”T”,i-"T=E:cdthe image.cdi”
This "ejects" any CD already in drive T (the ' in e' is an optional apostrophe used to tell it to continue after any errors - like no CD mounted).

Outlook Tips--Displaying Multiple Folders Within a View
Can I show more than one folder within a view—such as the Day/Week/Month view that combines Calendar and Tasks, only with different folders? —Brud Rossmann
Aside from the built-in Calendar + Tasks view and the Outlook Today page, Outlook out of the box provides no views that combine data from multiple folders. The solution is to use the Outlook View Control (OVC) in a folder home page. The OVC is an ActiveX control that displays a specific Outlook page. Folder home pages are simply Web pages, and they can host multiple copies of the OVC, each displaying a different folder. You can add the OVC to a Web page, just as you would any other control, and set the necessary properties.
The original version of the OVC had a security vulnerability. For Outlook 2002, visit the Microsoft Office Download Center and download and install the latest update for Outlook 2002. Any update after August 16, 2001, has the more secure OVC.
After you use the OVC to create a Web page, make it the home page for an Outlook folder by bringing up the folder's Properties dialog box and entering the path to the Web page on the Home Page tab.
For more information about the OVC, including sample code, see the Microsoft article "OL2000: General Information About the Outlook View Control" |

Talking about XML News Feeds and weblogs, if you want to display news from an RSS/RDF XML news source then check out my ASP.NET XML News control. This control is how I created those news pages above really quickly. Just drag the control onto your project and set the url of the feed and you are away. All vb.net source code is included for both normal asp.net projects and IBuySpy portals!
Another control written by little ol' me is my ASP.NET picture gallery! Again, all source is included for both IBuySpy portals and normal asp.net projects. This control automatically displays pictures as thumbnails allowing you to click to get the full view in a new window. See it in action at http://www.amyg.co.uk.

| 10:54:01 AM Email translator update
Based on a few weeks' experience, I've come to realize that while email-newsletter-to-RSS is a fantastic idea, a more-or-less-direct regular expression approach is too cumbersome and fragile.
It's better to build a generic filtering and parsing system, and use custom regular expressions to tag the content types for each newsletter.
- item (title + text + link)
- list (multiple elements, each possibly with its own link)
- story (multi-line text block, may have no link or more than one link)
- ignore
- end-of-item
Another problem is that I ended up with a bazillion separate rules and RSS files. It would be much cleaner to have a single rule that looks up the parsing info from a table based on the particular email source.
The RSS specification (1.x, 2) only allows one channel per file.
Finally, it would be convenient to post the results directly to Radio Userland. |

11:22:03 AM InfoScraper design
Frustrated by information overload, but encouraged by the aggregation and filtering capabilities of
RSS feeds, I've been looking for a tool to convert existing newsletters and other sources into tidy RSS. I expect that pretty soon most newsletters will offer RSS format in addition to Text and HTML, but I don't want to wait.
I tried a number of existing tools, but none of them do everything I want - especially the ability to convert both text and HTML email.
I decided to use regular expressions instead of XSLT because many source pages use poorly formed HTML, so an automatic conversion to XHTML may make things worse. Not to mention that some sources are plain text.
first exercise: comics
Assorted observations:
- one level of items is not enough - need to have at least 2, conditionally
- need to strip some HTML formatting (keep basic <H>, <B>, <I> but not Word markup)
- need to drop some items automatically (Your Feedback is Important)
- need to combine onChange and filter scripts
- want to add DHTML hide/show script to limit initially visible length of posts
- Generic scraper should work with web pages and email (HTML and text)
- Output should be in some kind of RSS feed format
- Should be able to run from Radio Userland, but should not require Radio (prefer generic data->XML tool)
- It's better to use RegEx instead of XSLT because:
- many source pages use poorly formed HTML, so an automatic conversion to XHTML may make things worse
- some sources are plain text
- Patterns should be nestable and/or sequential (and/or)
- It should be easy to make multiple passes to extract information from different parts of a document
- Matched text to be included or excluded from extracted info
- Options to strip styles, tags (or maybe specify tags to retain)
- Syntax could follow XSLT ...
- The whole thing needs to be table-driven, starting with the feed identifier, the RSS header info, and the collection of patterns for the items.
- Naturally, the specification table will be XML. This means we can use an XML parser to search and process the table.
- For email, the channel can be determined from the "From" and "Subject" fields, and the <pubDate> from the "Sent" field.
- It might be useful to specify a pattern for items to be ignored.
- it would be useful to have a way to highlight special keywords, and/or items containing keywords
- Search for start pattern
- Search for end pattern
- Extract body (start-end, inclusive or exclusive).
If the patterns are included in the body, then this step is a simple regular expression: {start}.*{end} |

Yes there is... You need to have an XML parser installed on the server. There are three that I know of: Microsoft's xmlhttp, ASPTear,
and ASPHTTP. I personally use the Microsoft version just to keep my server all Microsoft.(uniformity I guess)
Here is some code that I wrote to access a remote URL and grab the source code:
<%@ Language=VBScript%>
<%
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml, dtmTime, strURL
strURL = http://www.someurl.com
' Create an xmlhttp object:
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
' Opens the connection to the remote server.
xml.Open "GET", strURL, False
' Actually Sends the request and returns the data:
xml.Send
' Move the source of what was returned into a string for later use.
strSource = xml.responseText
' Be clean and clean up
Set xml = Nothing
Response.Write strSource%>
And there you have it. |
