Here at Breaking Par, we make daily backups of all our customer's HTML files to a backup machine. The backup was done through a Windows batch file using the XCOPY command to copy all the files that had been modified. We have been doing this for a long time without much thought. Recently, we took a look at the directories and noticed there was extra files in the backup subdirectory that didn't exist in the main directory. After some research, we determined that the files were deleted in the main directory and never deleted in the subdirectory. Read on to find out how to get a true backup using only Windows batch files.

The latest issue of SDTimes has a short article about the new MDS Studio which is part of the upgrade pack that RIM recently released. The main feature the article talked about was the ability for developers to point to a WSDL file (which is an XML file that describes a web service for those of you who don't wear propeller hats) in MDS Studio and the IDE will automatically generate an application for you (with the caveat that users who use this application must have the MDS runtime installed on their BB's and the BES you're using must install the MDS Services for Web Services component). This sounded like pretty cool stuff, so I had to try it out..

For a recent application, I wanted to use the Notes address picker like you see in the mail file. Yes, I know I could have used an editable readers/authors field with "Use address dialog for choices" enabled, but I wanted to force users to pick the names from an address book. With an editable readers/authors field, users can type in names (the field is editable, after all). There are things you can do to validate the names, but I felt (for this application) that forcing the pick from an address book would be the best option. The fields were access fields, so I had to make sure that the format was correct so the people would be granted access. @Picklist([Name]) would be an option, until I realized that users could type in a name inside the dialog box (there's a field called "Add name not in list" when you use a picklist). What did I do?

This article covers another type of Web site rule, the directory rule. If your Web applications include a large number of HTML files, images, and other file-system resources, you can use directory rules to help organize these resources. Directory rules allow Web applications to access directories located anywhere on the server, or even on another machine. In this article, we also discuss how to control access to file-system directories with file-protection documents...

This is often achieved by having plenty of links and maps to help visitors navigate. One of the big problems when maintaining a site is keeping all the links and maps up-to-date. Nothing discourages a visitor faster than encountering broken links...

Upgraded to Firefox 1.5 on my Windows machine today. It doesn't seem much different than the old version, other than the fact that half my extensions don't work anymore. I especially missed Greasemonkey, because I really rely on my LDDMonkey script to read the LDD Forums -- to the point that I really can't read the forums without it anymore...
