trying to clean up my Music folders … one application or another did a lot of folder management, such that various artist albums & mashups got shelved into folders based on artist …. so I’ve got assloads of folders.
Further, quite a few are empty …. I want to delete those & Vista (WS08) doesn’t seem to be able to give me a filecount in Explorer, nor is it giving me folder size in a list … so I can delete folders that are empty.
So, I’m looking for a filemanager to do this, without taking over my system:
freeware:
FreeCommander
- OK, gives you folder size … but doesn’t seem to have file count in the file listing.
- It’s getting the job done, but it’s a little laggy.
- OK – it’s really laggy … not recommended for anything more than a quick 1,2 job.
- It is, however, completely free.

what I had in mind for this whole thing.. was the ability to quick enter info … output would be sorted on dates, with little else (category, tags, etc) visible with the post, so that it would appear as a log or a journal, more natural. I want it to appear separate from the notes stuff, which is wonky & could have a rant or two. Unfortunately, having trouble with BE.net – it doesn’t do virtual separate blogs, & displaying a list of posts under a specific category has been a pain in the ass so far … though it’s close. Anyways ..
7:00 or so nurse ~ 3oz
9:30 #1
10:00 blue chair by the window, but started crying
10:30 97.6 deg, 3oz bmilk, then back to the blue chair & she’s cooing & bouncing around & nibbling on her hand
10:45 back to crying – while prepping a bottle she conked out
11:10 still sleeping to Andy Mckee
11:30 awake took an oz form & then to the hammock with some vivaldi burp & coo
12:15 more Andy Mckee and the rest of the bottle, 1oz form
1:15 sleeping in the hammock
1:20 lol, crying in the hammock, so how about some tummy time
2:30 wailing, 1.5 oz form, fart, .5 oz form, in hammock cooing
4:00 wailing, #1, roadtrip
5:30 nap & 2 oz form
8:00 3 oz form
9:00 nurse
11:30 nurse & sleep sometime after

I like BlogEngine.net a lot. Principal reason is that I can use Live Writer with it, which is a much friendlier editor ( it’s local, it’s got great code syntax highlighting, it does tags, etc). But, it’s also dotNet so,theoretically, I can get under the hood if I need to.
But, no under the hood stuff now. I need to be able to add posts under category Olivia, but create a page that shows only those posts, &, hopefully, have styling separate from main blog. BlogEngine.net is not multiblog yet, so I think creating a static page & pulling in posts categorically (?) will do the trick.
BE forum post “Add Blog Content to Pages”
BE forum post "How to display posts from each category separately”
In /blog/User controls
make a copy of PostList.ascx
rename it PostCatList.ascx
Add this to the BindPosts() function (replace guid with your guid (you can get it from the data table in SQL (Categories) or from the xml file in the App Data folder)
- found this in AppData/categories.xml:
- <category id="9a8eafbd-c5dc-4943-855b-cdb946914f5c" description="" parent="">Olivia</category>
Guid catname = new Guid("9a8eafbd-c5dc-4943-855b-cdb946914f5c");
- wtf is BindPosts() function?
- ah it’s in the cs file for that PostCatList.acsx just copied above
Posts =
Post.GetPostsByCategory(catname);
- added it to the top of BindPosts():
1: private void BindPosts()
2: {
3: Guid catname = new Guid("9a8eafbd-c5dc-4943-855b-cdb946914f5c");
4: Post.GetPostsByCategory(catname);
5: if (Posts == null || Posts.Count == 0)
6: {
7: hlPrev.Visible = false;
8: return;
9: }
10: List<IPublishable> visiblePosts = Posts.FindAll(delegate(IPublishable p) { return p.IsVisible; });
11:
12: int count = Math.Min(BlogSettings.Instance.PostsPerPage, visiblePosts.Count);
13: int page = GetPageIndex();
14: int index = page * count;
15: int stop = count;
16: if (index + count > visiblePosts.Count)
17: stop = visiblePosts.Count - index;
18:
19: if (stop < 0 || stop + index > visiblePosts.Count)
20: {
21: hlPrev.Visible = false;
22: hlNext.Visible = false;
23: return;
24: }
25:
26: string query = Request.QueryString["theme"];
27: string theme = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(query) ? query : BlogSettings.Instance.Theme;
28: string path = Utils.RelativeWebRoot + "themes/" + theme + "/PostView.ascx";
29: int counter = 0;
30:
31: foreach (Post post in visiblePosts.GetRange(index, stop))
32: {
33: if (counter == stop)
34: break;
35: PostViewBase postView = (PostViewBase)LoadControl(path);
36: postView.ShowExcerpt = BlogSettings.Instance.ShowDescriptionInPostList;
37: postView.Post = post;
38: postView.ID = post.Id.ToString().Replace("-", string.Empty);
39: postView.Location = ServingLocation.PostList;
40: posts.Controls.Add(postView);
41: counter++;
42: }
43:
44: if (index + stop == Posts.Count)
45: hlPrev.Visible = false;
46: }
- cool – looks like on line 26 can set theme for page
then on the page you want this to display...
<%
@ Register Src="User controls/PostCatList.ascx" TagName="PostCatList" TagPrefix="uc2" %>
and then where you want them to display
<uc2:PostCatList ID="PostCatList1" runat="server" />
- fine – but I’m not sure where my static page is … maybe not so static?
- Didn’t work … but this will help
Still couldn’t get it working … & it’s late … as a workaround straightup link to the category in archive mode
now what’s wrong with that is that the page is all bloggy …
the problem with the UserControl strategy is I do not grok how things are interacting yet … I noticed a page showing all events for the engine …
what’s weird is that there were only 2 discussions dealing directly with this. neither were conclusive – at least as far as I could see. I think I’ll follow the aforementioned CMS strategy … it will be a completely controllable page, at least.
Ah the taste of failure … comfort food

“I have a few large sites that I need to access via ftp to work on occasionally. I am trying to use the FTP tool included in VS2008 but it is painfully slow. The site contains more than 5000 files in more than 200 folders. I have used Dispatch in the past for smaller sites, but I find for these large sites it isn't useful especially because there are a few people working on the site.
Anyway, is there some reason VS2008 chokes on large FTP sites and is there any way to fix it? I have experienced it using Vista, XP and Server 2003.
Also, it takes FOREVER for the IDE to close once it finally does open the FTP site.” Source
“Although Visual Web Developer 2008 makes it convenient to connect to a remote site, doing so with the built-in FTP client is a pain in the butt.” http://www.dispatchasp.net/ Source
