Development Notes, News and Ramblings
A rethorical question: Am I the only one who thinks that Team Server will be a big debacle for the first two or three releases? I just can’t picture this thing working as advertised. Moreover, I can see a ton of hapless developers spending an inordinate amount of time trying to make it work. […]
One of my country men - Michael Schwartz - has built a set of dll’s that allow a .NET developer to create apps that run very similar to Google. Meaning that there is very little postback activity and most dataexchange between the server and client happens via the interaction of JavaScript and Michaels AJAX dll’s. […]
Bryant explains: “If you’re trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a Virtual PC, you will find the ISO image cannot be captured because it is too big.” He has a solution. A virtual CD drive! read more
MikeG has a quick review of the Constable Authorization Engine. I like the idea behind this product a lot. The only other tool on the market that is somewhat similar is Desaware’s State Coder.
Both products are much better realizations of the “Wizard Tool” that ships with ASP.NET 2.0.
Both tools use a state machine […]
Very interesting. I have friends who work in the Java world. One of my buddies mentioned Spring a few weeks ago as a lighter weight easier to “get your head around” alternatice to Struts. Looking over the Java implementation I had to agree. This morning I was mildly excited (probably need more coffee) to […]
I’ve tried the new beta of Codesmith and liked it quite a bit. Eric is doing a number of things very right as a Micro-ISV.
For starters his tool is easy to use and understand. His scripting of templates that are used to produce the automated output is the key here. Because it is not […]
Frederik has a small note about the much anticipated SQL Dependency Cache in ASP.NET 2.0 / SQL Server 2005

This is just too cool. Peter Provost underwent a similar Shuffle attack as I did and he even researched a bunch of earbuds.

Check out the combination of Google Maps and Craigslist. Its amazing. There are several big service companies sweating over stuff like this coming out.
Or how about a little Google Sightseeing. I love the entry where people discuss the huge word LUECKE that exists somewhere in Texas. And it is tremendously large. Anyways turns out […]
Have you ever seen the movie “Boiler Room” ? Its the story of a screwup who gets hired by an investment brokerage that sells penny stocks and other investments that are absolutely guaranteed to tank. Mostly they are sold to unsuspecting members of the public at large. The sales operation is a something to […]
I pride myself on my abilities as a developer, architect and author. I’ve been in the business over 12 years and have weathered several technology “evolutions” by Microsoft and other vendors. In short I consider myself one of the few… the proud…. well you know what I’m talking about. All of this ended today. They […]
So I’ve purchased the Shuffle and a pair of Sony Fontopia Buds. Amazing. The setup sounds so good I actually enjoy listening to music that I had been tired off.
Speaking of electronics. If you are a member of a user group and you enjoy creating a crossword (not solving mind you) you could win […]
Bill Machrone at PC Mag just about blew me away today when I read his findings concerning the iPod Shuffle. I always thought the Shufle was a bit of a joke. After reading Bill’s article I am singing a different tune. Basically he describes how most MP3 players cannot maintain a decent square sine wave […]
