I think I am going to move everything from Blogger to here:

I know, I know... sold out to the man...

As near as I can tell, Spaces offers syndication (RSS) feeds and blogger does not, please let me know if I am mistaken.

Please disregard :-)... I just noticed that Blogger does use Atom feeds... have enabled on this site at http://haldump.blogger.com/atom.xml

Did anyone other than me watch this garbage?

What a waste of time? This looked like a matchup between two waring brownie troops.

Don't play your (arguably the 2nd best in the NFL) best QB because you are scared he might get hurt for the playoffs? Take a regular season shelacking from a team that lost to the Saints (and the Dolphins, and the Cardinals).

Girly out on a stellar season with 1 single loss - to the Steelers none the less... Sad. Philidelphians should be ashamed of their coach. You play to win or you don't play. I was hoping for a Philidelphia super bowl this year - but that would just be bad for the NFL.

I am eagerly awaiting bowl week - when the real men play.

Gotta post this The Code Project - DotNetNuke 2 Module Packager - ASP.NET. It appears that it will save me TONS of time packaging my DNN modules.

OK - disregard what I was trying to do in my post yesterday --->

I have been trying to determine the best method for managing settings in a
DotNetNuke module. I have DAL that breaks from the abstracted DNN DAL so that I
can use my LLBLGen classes (I suppose I
could use those through the normal provider model, but it was just easier and I
have deadlines :-)... I only have to code agaist SQL Server anyway - so not a
big deal).

DNN provides methods from the ModuleController to set custom
settings per module - which can then be read from a hash Settings("whatever").
Very handy for setting view types, etc.. but in hoping to provide a little more
functionality, I laid out a Setting and SettingOption table which I was
considering using for internal settings... However, after getting into it a
little bit, I am considering using it just to retrieve the available settings,
and then actually storing the setting values in the standard DNN hash...


I decided that the better route was to just use the settings hash and the modulecontroller to maintain my settings. Then I just update my settings and clsPublic ( a custom class I made to handle communications between pages and some common functions) with new default settings and allow my EditSettings control to view and bind all these on the fly... Then I will be sure to look to a single place for my settings instead of three potential tables... I will have to republish in order to add new settings and their defaults now, but that's worth it.
