This is one of the most frustrating errors I’ve got to fix. I’m using rad editor for my aspx pages and in some pages, it works like a charm but some just doesn’t. Whenever I tried to update the page, it threw this error, “An error has occurred. Refresh the screen and try again”, in the rad editor content area.

My first thought was, the files much be read-only and hence to make writable to the files but it wasn’t the case. So I checked my code, cross check with another working page, recheck again and again, but I found no difference in code and doesn’t work. Then I created a new “test.aspx” file and pasted the same code and tested it. Strange enough, it works!

So I thought may be my page got corrupted, so I deleted that page and recreated a new page with the same name, paste the code back in. Then it’s not working again. The same god damn code in “test.aspx” is working and not in the other page.

Something was really fishily wrong! Since they are the exact same code, the only difference I can think of now is the file name. But I can’t change all the file names without knowing whether that’s the actual cause of the problem. So my final option, turn to google for help and there it was!

(ID#250) “An error has ocurred. Refresh the screen and try again”

PROBLEM
When saving the content from r.a.d.editor directly in the ASPX/ASCX the following error appears:
An error has ocurred. Refresh the screen and try again.

SOLUTION
When saving the r.a.d.editor content directly in the ASPX/ASCX the page name should not contain “(“, “)”, “-”, or ” ‘ “. If such names are obligatory, r.a.d.editor’s content should be saved in a database.

So stupid error. My error files are named using the “-” dash. Once I removed the dash, all working. It’s just so lame error message and even in the KB no explanation about why it cannot use a dash in the file names. Well you can use dash if you saving content in DB, but why not in the actual file? I just not satisfy with that KB solution explanation. Nevertheless, it solved my problem and thank god for that. Took hell lotta time from me. I guess next time, I better google first then check on my code. Hmm.

Just a breaking news yall. My beloved, the gang at WordPress, new creations and releases.

WordPress MU is an official branch of WordPress that is designed for managing and hosting thousands of blogs instead of just one.

Download WordPress MU

bbPress is forum software with the WordPress touch, and developed by the same folks. It has some pretty cool features, such as tagging, RSS feeds, Akismet spam protection, AJAX interaction, but the team focused the most on creating something fast and light. bbPress can power a forum with hundreds of thousands of posts with just a fraction of the load as WordPress.

Download bbPress

I don’t think I can check out WordPress MU…may be later. bbPress is interesting though, may be install it locally and check it out. You guys can test out too and let me know how it go.

It’s kinda like subdomain system from google. You can offer customised google services like email, chat, calander with your domain.

Google Apps for your domain lets you offer our communication and collaboration tools to your entire organization — customizable with your branding, color scheme and content through the administrative control panel, and with no hardware or software to install or maintain.

Well I don’t think my domain can apply for that cos’ mine is personal and definitely not an organization type. But I think InternetFiji would try to test/make use of this for some of their customers. I’m sure inet will get an account if they apply for it. Well…just a thought, since I can’t check out for myself, Ian you mind setup an account for inet so I can play with it?
Anyways here are some facts.

Quick Facts

Oh just doing free advertising. This one is a lot better than the last one – The Burglish Conversion.
This picks up the similar words and also convert simple English words.

Next Generation Burglish Chat with Burglish to Burmese Input Method – Testing Version v0.1.0821

Test is here. www.Burglish.com

http://www.soemin.net/php/chat3/

There is no intro or proper write up about the program yet, cos’ just out yesterday or so. The developer is a friend of mine, Ko Soe Min (Mark), you might see him around in some of my post comments.

The Burglish conversion there is very cool, the methods are very similar to those of Chinese and Japanese language packs. Ko Soe Min is very smart in Japanese Language so I guess he got the idea from there. I saw some of my Chinese friends uses their language installer and type in English which picks up Chinese characters and get the best match from it. This Burglish chat works in exact same way, it’s very fast and easy to use. But you need Firefox 1.5.

I’m just loving it. My bro and some of my friends who tested it also give a good thumb ups.
Excellent work Ako. It would be nice if you do a bit of intro write up and explain about it. Here I am spreading the good words, mont kwe oo naw. hehe.

Updated:
Please check “Mark” comments below for updates on the program.
There is a direct domain to the Burglish Chat now. visit: www.burglish.com

A team of young software engineers (most of them students, I think) have came out with Burglish Converter project which is currently in prototype 2.2 and public testing stage.

This is an on-going research activity to develop a computer system that can translate Burglish(Burmese- English) words into pure Burmese words in Burmese font. The system is currently being developed by a few Burmese software engineers who are motivated in Language Technology.

A few years back, my brother and I thought of doing the same project but as lazy arses as we are, we couldn’t motivate enough to start at all and finally forgotten about it.

We are glad that someone actually doing this and though the project is very basic with lots of limitations, I’m proud to see something happening after all.

I don’t know much of actual back-end processes they doing but seems like they are collectiong Buglish words inputs, retype them in Burmese and log them back to the database. Not an efficient way but it does work.
There is no standard in Buglish writing yet, but I’m sure we will have some standards soon as rite now I can see a few word structures like putting “Wai Sar Nha Lone Pout(:)”, eg. for normal word “kar” will create no “:” but once you type “karr”, it will add (:). Same thing for other words like “Min” – “Minn” etc.

You can tell there is going to be lots of spelling errors while converting specific Buglish word to Burmese word cos’ there are lots of different ways we use one character/word. Nevertheless it’s quite fun typing up and checking the conversion.
Oh yah, it does spell my name correctly so I LIKE it!!

So here I am just spreading the word so that you can go test it out and in turn help those developers collect the inputs.

I posted about mapsurface “Press Alt X” a while back and been using and loving it. It’s very light and efficient to analyze a quick track down of your stats. Today I noticed that they’ve upgraded the interface and added search string feature.

New features 9 June 2006
MapSurfure has been updated. We have added a search phases report so that you can see how people find your content. The map tool now records clicks on buttons so that you can also see howusers navigate away from a page containing forms.

Also there is roll over effect with color and graphics to the left hand side controls.Cute. Press Alt X and check it for yourself. They’re still on test drive and you can request an invite at their site: mapsurface.
