FrontPage? Online Support – SiteCrafters Internet Services. It’s been bothering me how to put a simple password on my hosted web site. It’s actually quite easy to password protect if you have IIS on a machine where you control the directory since it integrates with NT authentication. But, what if it is on a hosted site.

Here’s the simple trick on how to do this with ASPs. Basically, you set a session wide variable called pwfield and have it entered and then check it on every page you want protected. I’m going to do this for some photos and other things I have on tongfamily.com…

Enter the following in a file, say “password.inc”

Change the “letmein” to the new password. Change “password.htm” to reflect the name of the form page used to enter password.

pagePassword = “letmein”
passwordForm = “password.htm”
IF Session(“pwfield”) <> pagePassword THEN
IF Request.Form(“pwfield”) = pagePassword THEN
Session(“pwfield”)= pagePassword
ELSE
Response.Redirect(passwordForm)
END IF
END IF

Then on every page you want to password protect, change the name to .stm so that server side includes are enabled and then insert the following line before the HTML tag.

<--#include "password.inc">

The Dream Do-it-yourself PC. Hoops asked me to put together a dream machine for him. Here are the links for the smallest, but most functional machine I can imagine. Thanks to Tom’s Hardware” and C|Net for recommendations and Pricegrabber for the best place to buy things. If you’re interested, this machine is about the same price as the equivalent Dell, but probably 20% faster. It’s interesting to note that most of the cost is in the super great LCD monitor and the super DVD Writer. Look through the list, click to see where the lost price is and go buy it yourself . BTW, I would recommend just using the onboard video unless you are really doing gaming. Should be good enough for anything but 3-D gaming. Saves a bundle too.

• Shuttle SS51G Motherboard and Case. This motherboard plus power supply and case. It is the smallest most functional thing you can find. Has onboard video, network, audio, USB 2.0, Firewire too.
• 2.53GHz Pentium 4 CPU. This one you should check often given the frequent declines. Get the second fastest chip Intel makes. It is typically half the cost and in the sweet spot. Right now the 2.8GHz for instance is twice the price of the 2.53.
• Corsair 512MB PC2700 CL2 Memory. Corsair is the leader in really fast ram. Hard to get the CL2 variety and it makes a performance difference.
• Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive. The fastest drive around according to Storage Review.
• Philips 17 inch LCD Monitor or Iiyama Pro Lite 17 inch. Lots of debate at Tom’s on what the best LCD is, this one seemed to be in the upper end. And, 17 inches is very nice. Prices are dropping here too. See 17 inch LCD reviews and make your own choice. They really like the Iiyama and the Solarism but these are hard to get. I personally push harder on the monitor since it really has a big effect on how nice people think the machine is. it is what you see everyday!
• Sony DVD Write DRU500A or Sony DRU120A. Get the DRU500A if you have to have the very best with every format in the world. I think that at $220 post rebate, the DRU120A on closeout is a great bargain.
• Ulead VideoStudio DVD Editor. The main missing piece is the DVD editing stuff. You need a Firewire cable plus this and you are in heaven.
• DVD Blanks in 20-pack. The Sony drive comes with a read-writeable DVD. You need this to make all those copies of your home movies.

I’m assuming you are replacing a PC, so you already have a keyboard, mouse, speakers, printer and the like. Also notice that I don’t spec a floppy. You don’t really need since you can now boot off the DVD/CD drive to start the operating system. If you really need one, then use a laptop’s USB floppy. If you need some other things, I just get the lowest cost versions I can find such as…

• Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse. I didn’t research this too thoroughly, but the lowest cost optical mouse is what I would get.
• Microsoft Natural Keyboard. Didn’t research this either, get the lowest cost USB keyboard you can find.

BlackBerry Internet Edition. Connie uses a Blackberry Internet Edition by Aether. For some crazy reason, they don’t point to the home site of Aether, so you have to know the detailed information is at Blackberrybyaether.com. Nor do they tell you where the user interface is at No Comm Methods when all other queries on blackberry.net failed. This led me to the two problems NO Comm Method debugging and also to No Comm Methods in BlackBerry SP2 Upgrade. Watch both of these problems well!
