Take a journey through the annals of improbable research…

I have made a discovery this morning while attempting to configure two ASP.NET Virtual Directories on one Web Site Server.
The server houses IIS6 and is hosting several web applications for our QA group. IIS is responsible for hosting our ScrewTurn Wiki and an internal metrics gathering tool. The Wiki was built using the .NET Framework version 2 and the Metrics site using the .NET framework version 4. It turns out that if one web site is hosting two virtual directories, that ALL virtual directories for that site MUST use the same version of the .NET Framework.
To solve our issue, I created a seperate Web Site in IIS, running on a seperate port, to run our wiki site.

During our troubleshooting, we discovered this page and found it extremely useful as well: http://neilkilbride.blogspot.com/2008/02/windows-2003-iis-returns-404-for-aspnet.html

For those of you currently using Office 2007 in an office environment, you may have found yourself in the position where you have the latest version of Office and others around you still run with previous versions. Saving documents in the new Office 2007 format usually prevents those users from being able to access your documents. You can always do the “Save as” routine of converting the document to Office 2003, but I sometimes forget to do that. If you want to make this the default behavior of Office 2007, you can do the following:

1. Click on the round “Office Button” at the top left of Word 2007 (or other Office applications).
2. Then, at the lower right of the window that appears, click on “Word Options.”
3. In the next screen that comes up, click on “Save” in the column at the left.
4. In the panel that appears at the right, you’ll notice an option called “Save Files in this format,” with a drop-down list of choices next to it.
5. Display the list of choices by clicking on the arrow and select “Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)”.
6. Click OK at the bottom of the window.

You should now be set up to always save documents in the 2003 format.

• Broomball was a relative success! Had a blast running around on the ice, injuries aside. Let me just say, ice is harder than you remember. #
• That said, @MLONF diligently attacked the ice with his face. Ice 1, @MLONF 0. #
• Thanks to @mashayekh for setting up Broomball. #
