So, last night (while chatting to Bob ;) ) I managed to find the problem of my disappearing content. I was a messup in the database in the DataTypes. Read more about it here.

On the other hand, I feel also pretty stupid. Why? Because only friday-night I found out that there's a nice feature in Umbraco: Rollback.........I could have spared much time by just using the rollback-function to get my disappearing content back......
Oh well, knowing that my issues seem fixed, I can get back in business now!

Thanks everyone that tried to help fix the problem!

In my post about the sites I created with umbraco. On 1 site (www.hizihair.nl) I'm using google-maps to show locations of shops.
There's also another feature: Visitors can put in their postal-code. A script then uses google-maps to lookup the shops that are within a certain distance (a variable the editor can fill in). Try yourself, goto the site, fill in 2132DK in the fill-in top-right and press enter. You'll then get to see the shops within a certain distance from that postal-code, the closest one is top-most one.

Just thought to share, if you want to konw more, drop me a line.

Ok, after typing the complete post twice because of my buggy blog-system.......making it a bit shorter now.
Yesterday at Codegarden08 I was surprised, VERY surprised. Some people ACTUALLY use my orginal blogCalendar!

While heavilly outdated, there still seem to be quite a few people interested in! Well, maybe a good time to pick up development again! As you see, the calendar I use my blog, isn't quite like the old one anymore. SO I actually DID some work on it a while back. So, I'm going to pick up the development and see if I can extend it a bit more. If someone is interested, just leave a comment, I'll get back to you on it then!

Not typing anymore......it might disappear again, yes, I have to look into that also ;-)

PS: I forgot to add categories.......guess what, all my text was gone again......luckily there's something like a clipboard!

As promised, here are the 3 sites I (well, the company I work for actually) published with umbraco last month. Took a bit longer than I wanted to write this post, but hey, its here now ;-)

Note: all sites are in Dutch language only.

www.cosmo.nl

www.teamkapsalon.nl

www.hizihair.nl

The last one was allready running on umbraco for a year, but it needed a change in lay-out. I also upgraded the version of umbraco used. All sites are using webservices to maintain 'salons', meaning, addresses and opening-information is stored somewhere else and on change of that data, the data on the site is changed also. All in all, I like the sites.

Funny, since I upgraded this blog and moved to use Ajax for comments, I don't need a captcha.
I noticed that still my blog gets a number of spam-attacks per day. But, it gets refused because the viewstate doesn't match. So, for now I don't do anything about it, because mainly what I see is automated post-attempts that post directly to a page without viewing it first. Therefor, they have no viewstate, thus the post gets rejected.

So, after not updating this blog for quite a while, I redid quite a lot.
Not posting here didn't mean I didn't use umbraco. Another post about that will follow.
After messing around with Visual Studio 2008, I started using the latest source from Codeplex. Ruben can verify I did quite a lot of debugging on the mySQL version ;-)
Back to topic.

Today I stumbled upon a site about the usage of Prototype.
Later this evening I read some articles on the site and I was impressed by the explanations and usage of Prototype!
Just thought to archive for myself and maybe it can be of use for someone else too ;-)
