I wrote my original sites in ASP, back in 1998, running on NT. after driving in to reboot machines, a few nights a month, i bought a IP based power strip so i could reboot remotely.
Then using 4 machines, in two pairs 1 each for SQLServer(with replication) and the webserver on windows 2000, i was prepared with machines for my lottery site for the biggest jackpot in history. that was July 2000.
As soon as traffic started, my webserver crashed, the SQL server was off in a loop, the secondary pair of machines had old data. I rebooted the webserver and was told
Please insert disk to Install Windows 2000. Yes, the connection to SQL server, the replication and little traffic, took out a windows 2000 box’s boot record and required reinstallation. It was midnight.
It’s quite liberating when the keyboard hits the walls and the keys go flying.
We started moving the linux and PHP the next day
Renee.
wish I knew what you’re talking about so could join your side!
but I’m too dumb.
still think you’re the hottest aff manager out there.

Holy Crap I wanted to pull my eyes out of my head just reading that.
Thanks for the post. It eased the pain a little.@bb1webs 139444 wrote:

Hey bb1
ASP stands for Active Server Pages – most commonly used to program web pages that use server databases. It’s a shitty old language that should have been sent to the bottom of the ocean with Brittney and Paris years ago and I hate it..
ASP hates u too, wadda u wanna do about it
I’ve been developing in Java since 2000, mostly web based corporate apps for banks and insurance companies. I dabbled a bit in asp.net for a while but was glad to get back to Java.
Last year i started playing with Ruby on Rails. I was a bit skeptical at first but am staring to love it. It truly makes development fun again. My only issue is the limited choice in hosting, but hopefully it will become as widespread as PHP.
Since the banks still run Cobol in places, it will probably be another ten years before they even know Ruby exists, but at least that wont stop me from developing my own sites.
Renee, are you running asp.net or the older asp?
I guess I’ll play the devil’s advocate then :devil:
Asp has it’s place and I used it for many a corporate app back some years ago. It is really only nice when you need to work with a program’s api or dll and the ‘create object’ command becomes very useful. However – if it’s plain-jane websites with database connections – then asp has nothing to offer over php or any other language. Which is why I use php on my websites
asp.net, though, is a different animal entirely. Don’t let the asp part of that make you think this is the same language – because it is not. It is a brand new set of languages with a brand new set of classes and a brand new compiler.
It’s VERY nice and lets you get up and running pretty quickly once you know the ins and outs. I am in the process of converting some sites to .NET to take advantage of some cool features.

Plain old ASP mate. Just thinking that I have to start coding again today makes me want to kill myself
