Configuration Error!

(Copy paste abstracted from the original article)

If you run Index Server (Cisvc.exe), then Index Server may rescan the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory while it requests a Microsoft ASP.NET page. Cisvc.exe then holds a lock on the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory for one to five minutes. The length of time of the lock depends on the size of the directory that causes the Aspnet_wp.exeprocess (or W3wp.exe process for applications that run on Microsoft Internet Information Services [IIS] 6.0) to not load the particular DLL. So when you access a page after an AppDomain load, for example, when you modify the Bin directory or the Web.config file on computers running Microsoft Index Services, you may receive the following error message:,

Server Error in '/AppName' Application
Configuration ErrorDescription: An
error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service
this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your
configuration file appropriately.Parser Error Message: Access is denied:
'dll_name'.


Solution: If you do not use Index Server on the server, you can disable it. If you use Index Server, you can exclude the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory from the folders that the Index Server scans.

Multiple tasks - multiple problems

I’m good at handling multiple tasks simultaneously - So I’ve been told. And up till now I didn’t find it much difficult. But theses days I’m working on like two three different tasks each day and nothing goes smooth... it’s real horrible. And to add to that I’m still to take a break from work after 2 years of work non-stop.

I haven’t blogged enough!

Came to office a bit early today as I came directly from Kandy. So I opened a browser and in google typed ‘mahasen’ and hit enter. Usually, this brings my blog as the first result. But today it wasn’t even in the first page!!
Last year, I used to blog almost every day. But this year due to work load and various other reasons, I didn’t have time for the blog. So most probably, most of the regular readers of my blog must have moved away from it :(

Can’t think of a subject to this post

Beginning of this year ayya (my elder brother) moved in with us. Since he’s the eldest of the family and has always shown maturity we expected things to be some what better in his presence. But nothing has really improved so far except for that we have started to go jogging twice or thrice a week.
We were supposed to renew our rent this month. But since ayya moved in, we thought of renting a new place with three bedrooms. We informed our land lord that we would leave in the beginning of March and started to search for a place. Now I find it’s only I who search (and my sincere friends - to whom I’m really thankful). And all that my sister and brother does is saying no to the places that I find.. either they are too expensive for them or too far. I’m pissed off with their attitude right now and am planning to rent out an apartment or an annex with a single bedroom and move out alone letting them do what ever they wish.. I have already started the search.
So any one - if you know a such place around Nawala with parking please let me know :d - Thanks

Unexpected

I struggle to go beyond self
to not think of the warmth
of your
breath on my face

And to hide the affection
that fills my heart
by flowing thoughts of you

Listening to your voice
smoothing
through my mind
filling all corners full

About your unconditional
love
towards another who I envy
but do not know much about

VS launch

Ok, I was really happy to getaway from work in the first place. (some times I feel the days I enjoyed coding are gone :-?) I got my friend Sanjaya to pick me up in the morning - he came at 7 a.m! So we were the first to register at BMICH.

The event started out really great, nice cool music and hooded swordsmen walking in... Till Sriyan walked in to play King Arthur. Oh man for heavens sake he’s the president (or director or what ever - head) of Microsoft Sri Lanka. I wasn’t expecting him to be the clown of the day. Any ways that’s my view. Others might find it ok.

Sessions were ok... on average it’s what I would have expected.

The event organizers hadn’t heard of the fact that there are some of us who are vegetarians. May be due to the fact that Microsoft is perceived as a carnivore.

It was the first time I saw wild fire live... I think that speaks for the fact Me.WaysOfEnjoying.Contains(ROCKing) returns false. So I’m not in a position to comment on it - in fact I wasn’t there to witness it :D
