FTP Dropper

May 10th, 2009

So I woke up really early this morning, and for some reason I decided to finally make a little ftp+weblink dropper. It’s very simple, just configure your FTP server settings and the corresponding website root URL. Done.

Now just drag and drop. The app spins off another thread to perform the upload task. When it’s done it gives you the direct URL to the file with the option to copy to clipboard.

Very simple, easy to use and works for what I need. There is some error handling, but I know of a few places where you can still break it :)

Carl Sagan is the man

May 5th, 2009

I don’t think I can completely put into words how this video has changed my view of the world and of life. I know this video is a little old, but I just came across it again today and just had to make a post. All the little, and indeed the big things we all worry about everyday, are completely pointless. Stop worrying and live it up :)

MySQL .net Connector + GoDaddy Shared Hosting

May 5th, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve messed around with asp.net web.config files. Here’s a tip for anyone trying to use the mysql connector with asp.net. You need to add the following to your web.config or it will bitch to you about trust levels.


  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <clear />
      <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
           description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL"
           type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data,
             Version=6.0.2.0, Culture=neutral,
             PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>

GoDaddy has modified their medium trust environment to use the connector. All new connectors are compiled to accept partially trusted callers. It is important to note that the version in your web.config must match the version of the connector DLL.
