This isn’t really a blog post. 

This is a list of tools and best practices I've collected over time. The list is my own personal list which I so far maintained in a word document. Gradually it has become difficult to keep track of the PC that has the latest and most updated version. Therefore, I have decided to put the list up here where it is planned that I will continuously maintain it.

The list is not final and the tools that are on the list are those that I at the time have evaluated best met my projects needs. There are other tools that might meet your needs better :-)

How is this possible?

 

One of my adWords has been shown 3 times and clicked on 4 times - will this mean that somebody has double clicked the ad or does it mean that somebody had used the back button in the browser and then clicked my ad again? Anyway I wasn't aware that one could pay for the same visitor multiple times :-)

Note to self: error when using Lucene.net with the DanishStemmer. The error (ArgumentOutOfRangeException) is in line 467 of "\src\contrib\Snowball\SF\Snowball\SnowballProgram.cs":

s.Append(current.ToString(bra, len));

instead of:

s.Append(current.ToString(bra, ket));

Note to self: use run and mstsc /v:servernameOrIpaddress /admin

Some of my friends would love to buy old coins, I have promised them to help put a site up where you can see the coins they want to buy. The site is only in Danish. This is a work in progress and exciting exercise in creating a page from scratch on a brand new domain and turn it into a google search top score.
