Like Social Networking site and now Email. ( Read about Mantis project for facebook at http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/05/facebooks-project-titan-a-full-featured-webmail-product/ ). I am very much sure after email facebook will launch something like facesearch and I think which is really very good idea for facebook to launch facebook search. A complete social media search which finds out what people (400 million) are talking in social media.
Who knows like we have website page rank now and may be facebook people may start user rank. ( May be I am giving them a idea .. :P) Like “dhaneel” is having social rank of 5 so whatever he says is more valid than a guy with social rank of 4 or 3. :) ..

I preferred to take bike as it was just 90 Km from bangalore.

We started around 10 Am in the morning. Took Kanakpura road. From bangalore to Kanakpura is around 50 km and then to mekedatu around 40 Km. Roads are pretty good and I found it to be more biky roads. :) ..

That’s it. We came back had lunch and headed back to bangalore.
In whole trip I only liked the biking. It took me 1 and half hours to reach bangalore from Mekedatu.
I can give a rating of 2/5 for this.

I tried this

SvcUtil.exe http://localhost:3
790/BusinessFaceData.svc /out:C:\Proxy.cs

this thing worked fine for me but I was using Generic List on WCF side.. so this will not work with that. To specify the type of proxy class to generate we need to use

SvcUtil.exe http://localhost:3
790/BusinessFaceData.svc /out:C:\Proxy.cs /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1

In place of /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 You can specify any name like

The main problem was SQL Server was running using network service account and it was not having permission to create file.You can easily resolve this problem by changing from Network Service account to local system. Refer the following image. Write to me if you need more help.

To zip files you need to just do this

  1.  
  2.      using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile()
  3.      {
  4.        zip.AddFile("file.txt");
  5.        zip.Save("MyZipFile.zip");
  6.      }
  7.  

This library has got lot lots of option which you can experiment and best thing is runtime library just 100kB. You can download the library from CodePlex DotNetzip.

  1. private void CheckSessionTimeout()
  2.     {
  3.         string msgSession = "Warning: Within next 3 minutes, if you do not do anything, " + " our system will redirect to the login page. Please save changed data.";
  4.         //time to remind, 3 minutes before session ends
  5.         int int_MilliSecondsTimeReminder = (this.Session.Timeout * 60000) - 3 * 60000;
  6.         //time to redirect, 5 milliseconds before session ends
  7.         int int_MilliSecondsTimeOut = (this.Session.Timeout * 60000) - 5;
  8.  
  9.         string str_Script = @"
  10.            var myTimeReminder, myTimeOut;
  11.            clearTimeout(myTimeReminder);
  12.            clearTimeout(myTimeOut); " +
  13.                 "var sessionTimeReminder = " +
  14.             int_MilliSecondsTimeReminder.ToString() + "; " +
  15.                 "var sessionTimeout = " + int_MilliSecondsTimeOut.ToString() + ";" +
  16.                 "function doReminder(){ alert(’" + msgSession + "’); }" +
  17.                 "function doRedirect(){ window.location.href=window.location.href; }" + @"
  18.            myTimeReminder=setTimeout(’doReminder()’, sessionTimeReminder);
  19.            myTimeOut=setTimeout(’doRedirect()’, sessionTimeout); ";
  20.  
  21.         ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.Page, this.GetType(),
  22.               "CheckSessionOut", str_Script, true);
  23.     }

call this function on each page call. Like you can put it in

  1.  
  2. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  3.     {
  4.          this.CheckSessionTimeout();
  5.     }
  6.  

Hope this will help.

We can use this ulr to get search results for twitter

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=”query string”

It’s still incomplete. I need to provide admin module where I want user to put their search preferences and email ID so that whenever some updates come to twitter it should crawl the link given in twitter and send the crawled information to them on email.

I will blog the entire thing once it’s complete. Till then have a look at the twitter which I have developed.

I am very happy that I am getting more users and they are very happy about the songs search which i have implemented. Like you can search for “Kaho na pyar hai” or “kahoo naa pyaar hai” both will return the same results. This algorithm works on the pronunciation of words. You can download the TukLuk client from TukLuk .
