Development Notes, News and Ramblings
As you can see, the site is running a brand spanking new version of WordPress. I’ve updated to WP 2.1
Interestingly during this process I had comment spam blocking turned off for a day. After just 8 hours there were about 1200 entries of comment spam. Subsequently I turned on Askimet and haven’t seen another […]
As seen on Larkware.com – Trace Tool 8, a new version of the C#, Java and Delphi Tracer Utility.

Saw this over at Rick Strahl’s blog. I collect these specifications. The more the better. It helps when dealing when building web services and message exchanges for unfamiliar industries. In any case – OFX: Specification is designed around financial transactions. Thanks Rick.
Travis Ilig has been working on the Documentor add in (using Lutz Roederers Reflector) for a while now. It bears linking to it occasionally even though GhostDoc is more popular…

This is annoying. I would love it if a language supported all aspects of OO. In C# this is braindead simple.
“…..Ruby does not support multiple-inheritance. Personally, I have mixed feelings about that, but the fact of the matter is, you can accomplish almost exactly the same thing using modules.
Consider this ActiveRecord scenario. In Basecamp, […]
MS Build Sidekick is a GUI for MS Build that may help those of us who are xml config averse (via Jason Haley)
SharpDevelop had a code conversion system built in for some time now. It looks like someone used that facility to drive this web site, which allows conversion from VB to C# and back […]
Its very nifty. And the upgrade is reasonable at less than $20.00. Here are some interesting links
The ASP.NET site has a bunch of useful podcasts / screencasts. I believe including new ones for AJAX/Atlas or whatever we are calling it this week
Speaking of AJAX tutorials, here is another one.
Here is a poor man’s version of […]
Nice description of Selenium / C# in a test driven application. Unit tests are easy – UI tests are the pain in TDD because the UI tier tends to be the most volatile.

A very large compilation of links to various ASP.NET How-to topics. Some examples are:
How To: Instrument ASP.NET 2.0 Applications for Security
How To: Improve Security When Hosting Multiple Applications in ASP.NET 2.0
How To: Perform a Security Deployment Review for ASP.NET 2.0
How To: Prevent Cross-Site Scripting in ASP.NET
How To: Protect Forms Authentication in ASP.NET 2.0
How To: […]
This certainly looks very useful to a majority of web apps I’ve worked on. Being able to control at a fine grained detail the access to a given model is a great idea. Wonder if there is an audit trail example out there as well
So I am finally the proud Papa of a SUSE 10.2 , MySQL 5 and RoR 1.2 setup. Boy this took some doing. Working with a different OS is just strange every step of the way. Plus there are little oddities that one needs to be aware of. For example, its not enough to install […]
Thats is really good news. Now if I could only figure out how to fix my graphics card recognition under Linux I might be able to play with Mono a little bit…. No matter. Mono is a huge effort and I’m glad to see it getting some good press

Call it Mike-envy or whatever, but since Mike announced that he was leaving all things Microsoft behind, I have been itching to use a non MS OS again. So off I went to install SUSE 10.2 And for half a day I was fine until I noticed that the display had a really hard time […]
If you are into that sort of thing, here is another x.Sharp language to mess with. Don’t know enough about it, other than its been around a couple of years and seems to be integrated with VS at this point (which is nice).

Interesting facts about the state of affairs in India. I can only concur that he has a point. Whenever our Indian team goes out to recruit people it seems hard to find well qualified candidates. As a side-note, I had a conversation yesterday with a local CTO whose company uses Russian developers and who is […]
Rocky points out: “Bind this to a TextBox and type in a lower-case value. The user continues to see the lower-case value on the screen, even though the object obviously has an upper-case value. The PropertyChanged event is blissfully ignored by WPF data binding.”
Holy smokes! That is weird.

It is certainly advertised very well. A bit of a hard-sell if you ask me. What do I get for 79.00 that I can’t find on Google for free I wonder…….

After all the hoops I jumped through, I made one last ditch effort to keep Vista from locking up and the video display from going completely bonkers ever so often – I disconnected a USB KVM Switch that the machine was using. So far so good. Its been 4 hours of trouble free operation. As […]
Looks like Omar made his own version of TimeSnapper. Nice.

I mainly link to it because of the amazing picture that he found for this post. That must have taken quite a search….. oh boy oh boy…..
