A few weeks ago I added support for comment Gravatar icons in dasBlog.  This by no means indicates that it will be included in DasBlog as there may be some additional work required.  I finally had time to submit the code to the dasBlog folks for there review.  Here is an example of what it looks like:

I can't seem to find any documentation on this anywhere so I thought I'd jot it down.

I think I ran into a limit on the size of a Simple Mapi message body.  It looks like it's about 64k.  It didn't blow out, but it did truncate my message body down to around 5k.

Just out of curiosity I ran a 64k+ test with CDO and had no problem.

I always forget the lifecycle of custom server control classes with respect to web page, ie. aspx file.

The following results are based on a drop down list custom control:

customcontrol - Constructor
customcontrol - OnInit - Enter
customcontrol - OnInit - Exit
webpage - OnInit - Enter
webpage - OnInit - Exit
webpage - Page_Load - Enter
    customcontrol - could be altered here in page load, causing some event to fire
webpage - Page_Load - Exit
customcontrol - OnLoad - Enter
customcontrol - OnLoad - Exit

POSTBACK:

customcontrol - Constructor
customcontrol - OnInit - Enter
customcontrol - OnInit - Exit
webpage - OnInit - Enter
webpage - OnInit - Exit
customcontrol - LoadViewState - Enter
customcontrol - LoadViewState - Exit
webpage - Page_Load - Enter
webpage - Page_Load - Exit
customcontrol - OnLoad - Enter
customcontrol - OnLoad - Exit

customcontrol - OnSelectedIndexChanged - Enter
    webpage - xx_SelectedIndexChanged - Enter
        customcontrol - could be altered here in page load, causing some event to fire
    webpage - xx_SelectedIndexChanged - Exit
customcontrol - OnSelectedIndexChanged - Exit

This is a question I ask myself everytime I start a new project that requires authentication.  And then respectively is it Sign Out, Sign Off, Log Out, or Log Off?

What is this all about?  Well I was trying to determine if there was a standard terminalogy used to describe entering your username and password to gain access to a system or application.

I found no definitive answer, but I did check out a few random web sites and operating systems to see what they used.

Most of the web sites I checked, mac, solaris, redhat w/gnome use Log In/LogOut.

Only Windows OS’s and a couple we sites used Log On/Log off.

And then Sign In/Sign Out was rather limited.

Now granted, my selection of web sites is farely limited and I did not check any actual client applications.

There is a term called Single Sign On, yet I did not run across any systems which actually term their username and password screen Sign On.
