I started messing with some Time Lapse Photography a few nights ago. I wanted to capture the stars moving at night. Although I made some mistakes, I think that I came up with some good results for my first time around.

In the past I wrote a short article on how to shrink an MS SQL Database. It seems the method I used is no longer valid in SQL Server 2008. To be able to shrink the database, you need to first set the database recovery mode to "simple" before you can shrink the database and log file. After doing so you can then shrink the files.

When working with a custom skin you may notice that the DotNetNuke RadEditor inherits the same background color or image as your web page. This can make editing content very difficult. With the latest version of DNN, it is very easy to fix this issue and set a white color, or any other custom color using css.

On a brand new copy of Windows 2008 I had to open up Internet Explorer and download a program to install. The only thing stopping me was the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security! Every url that I went to or loaded was prompting me to add the site to the "Trusted Sites" lists before I could browse them. This can quickly become annoying and also stop you from accomplishing the simplest of tasks. Thankfully, if you know where to look, disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is a breeze.

Visual Studio 2010 has been released!!! I've been trying to upgrade my Visual Studio 2008 projects so that I can start using 2010 and all the wonderful new features. A couple of my projects that used Telerik Open Access ORM failed to build in Visual Studio 2010. They build fine in 2008 but not 2010!
Visual Studio 2010 could not reference any project that was enhanced by Open Access ORM. I kept banging my head on the wall for hours until I ran across this simple fix!

For a long time I have always used the Globals.NavigateUrl() method in DotNetNuke to create links in my custom modules. I have recently converted to using the FriendlyUrl provider in DotNetNuke. The big advantage for me was to create a custom page url for SEO purposes without hacking the DNN framework. I wanted to get rid of the standard Default.aspx and also create urls that were more SEO friendly.

This error can happen for a few different reasons. Here are 2 solutions that have worked for me.
