Setting up a FrontPage Site and got this error…
DISCLAIMER: FrontPage Server Extensions is not my choice in this project. The end-user has Microsoft Expression Web, so this is how the site is being done.
Using TortoiseGit and Dreamweaver
We have bee using Git to some extent at work (Mannix Marketing, Inc.) for a while, and I though that it was high time that I start to do the same at home on personal projects.
Git is a FREE an open source, distributed version control system that is designed to handle everything from small to extremely large projects with speed efficiency.
First of all I installed Git (http://git-scm.com/) for Windows. It is pretty simply on Windows, as you just download the installer. Other operating systems may or may not have an installer, so you should google "GIT [operating system]" or just go to the main Git site. End result is that I now have Git running on my machine.
Next, I intalled TortoiseGit (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/). This is a Git revision control client. There are many other clients, but using TortoiseGit allows me to install the Dreamweaver Extension called gitweaver (https://github.com/ChrisMcKee/gitweaver). This extension allows the integration of TortoiseGit and Adobe Dreamweaver. Nice!
So, once I have Git, TortoiseGit and gitweaver installed, I'm ready to get this going. For the most part, you can simply have a local repo (repository), but if you are colaborating on a project, then Git hosting is a must. There are sites like BitBucket.com, Github.com, BeanStalkApp.com, Unfuddle.com and many more. Setting up an account on most is a pretty simple task. I have used BeanStalkApp.com and Unfuddle.com - both have pros and cons compared with each other.
After setting up your repo you can not interact with Git directly from Dreamweaver. This is huge in both regard to productivity and project management.
I have started this on BounceHouses.com, F1Weekly.com and this site (blog.tobyandjoann.com), and I'm thinking that I may start adding other sites to, for the simple reason that version control, even for an individual on a single project, is a smarter way to work.
Smart Watch in the Smart Phone Age
A man is at Grand Central Station waiting for his train which leaves at 6:00 PM but he has forgotten his watch. So he looks for someone to ask the time. He spots this guy walking past carrying 2 suitcases and sporting this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he asks him for the time.
The guy replies "Sure, which country?"
The fella asks "How many countries have you got?", to which the reply is "All the countries in the world!"
"Wow! That's a pretty cool watch you've got there."
"That's nothing. This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive NTSC television channels and display them on its miniature active color pixel LCD screen!"
"Boy, that's incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one... You wouldn't consider selling it by any chance?"
"Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900, if you want it, it's yours."
The watchless traveller can hardly whip out his check book fast enough, and hands over a check for $900.
The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him. "Congratulations, here is your new hi-tech watch" and then, handing the 2 suitcases over as well he says, "and here are the batteries."

Urine Test – the practical way!
This was written by a rig worker in the North Sea - What he says makes a lot of sense!
"I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor.
I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs and alcohol, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope."
Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?
