Adding AdSense on an Office Live Site

by Admin 23. July 2008 14:10

I recently tried to add google adsense ads on my office live page at http://www.vishalseth.net. It wasn't straightforward but you can do it. Initially, I saw the HTML module available in the site designer and thought I could just use that; but if you've tried it that doesnt work either... or atleast did not work for me. I had to use an iframe... This is what I finally did to make it work:

  1. Create an empty html file e.g. AdSense.htm on my computer
  2. paste the AdSense code from google including the script tags into the htm file using notepad. The html file at this point only contains the code in the script tags and nothing else (no <html>, <head> or <body> tags either.)
  3. save and close the file
  4. upload the file to to your documents folder in your office live account. when logged into site builder, the link to the document library should be available on the left. Clicking on it should alloow you to upload any files into the library.
  5. in the site builder, open the page onto which you wish to add the adsense ads. add a html module onto the page.
  6. for the html, insert the following: <iframe  frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://yoursite.com/Documents/adsense.htm" width="770" height="110"></iframe>. Save.
    1. yoursite.com is the base url of your site
    2. height, width can be set to suit the dimensions of the ads you're displaying.

The ads should now be visible on your site...

iPhone App - iNGPOD - National Geographic Magazine's photo of the day.

by Admin 22. July 2008 05:24

This iPhone development thing is addictive. seriously. It's hard for me to have a little time on my hands and not want to write another fun app that shows up on my home screen. This one just pulls and displays the Photo of the day from National Geographic Magazine's website. It's something I have on my google home screen and just like to look at daily and thought it would be fun if I could have it on my phone as well. The url is http://www.iNGPOD.vishalseth.com. You can see it published in Apple's web application directory by clicking here 

 Update: The application is offline for now due to problems with making httprequests in my medium trust hosting environment.

The e-Salesman Paper

by Admin 11. July 2008 07:39

This is a link to a paper I published as part of my coursework at San Jose State. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1286466&isnumber=28682

Abstract:
Current e-commerce Web sites employ designs that are catalog based. Most Web-stores are seen to be fancy displays of product catalogs. The drawback is that customers are easily confused with the number of links available; they have to go through complex navigation and keyword searches to find their products; and solely rely on their own decision to purchase a product. Additionally, they cannot distinguish one retailer from another based on the Web-front; identity of the Web-business is lost. Hence, there is a lack of trust. The human and personal element seen in traditional shopping is also lost when shopping online. This paper discusses and proposes an intelligent solution to these problems. The e-Salesman System (eSS) aims to simulate the human element of traditional shopping for online sales. It is based on a knowledge driven, intelligent model as opposed to a catalog based, and static model. It is supported by a framework that is easily extensible and customizable to the needs of any Web-store.

New iPhone App - PocketBar - http://www.pocketbar.vishalseth.com

by Admin 10. July 2008 13:48

PocketBar - http://www.pocketbar.vishalseth.comLong story short; I bought an iPhone, saw that apple had a webkit for building web apps and wanted to experiment with creating a web application in ASP.Net to run on the iPhone & iPod touch. Also extended it recently to work on a desktop browser so if you navigate to it using a desktop browser, you'll see the desktop version. To see the mobile version navigate to it using an iPhone or iPod touch.

I submitted it to the apple mobile web apps directory; you can see it published here.

Its a nifty little app; simple but seems to be quite popular ;) Basically its just a database of online cocktail recipes accessible on the iPhone & iPod Touch. It also has a nice little icon that you can add to the home screen of your mobile device to start it up automatically when you click on it.

The url for the app is http://pocketbar.vishalseth.com

Here's a screen shot of what it looks like on the phone.

void Blog.Create()

by Admin 10. July 2008 10:47

Finally got arround to putting up a blog on this site. I chose to go with Blog Engine http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/. It was real easy to set up, had to do a little bit of tweaking to get this running on a sql 2000 database (the scripts are made for sql 2005) but its up and looking good.
