  • DataSet discussion revisited...

    I want to revisit a discussion that I had early on in my blog - Datasets . After several months of heavy development (actually a conversion of some ASP code that I have been maintaining), I have found that I don't use the dataset. Maybe it's the advice that I've been getting or maybe it's the result...

  • OpenVPN... a cool open source tool

    I just discovered a pretty cool open source product last night -- OpenVPN . Here's my question (up front). Does anyone know of any security holes in it (I couldn't find any, but it may be too new)? I know that it relies on OpenSSL (I think mainly for key generation, but I'm not sure) If you don't know...

  • Rory - An Apology!

    Ok, I just saw some comments over in Rory's blog that bugs me (and so I have to blog about it). So on that note: Rory, I want to apologize for every callous idiotic attempt that every Christian has ever made at trying to “reach“ you; I want to apologize for all the stupid arguments/attacks...

  • Roy Oshoreve...

    is an OK guy. I guess I never realized that Roy had different original date in mind... I was only paying attention to the due date. Roy changed the deadline back (ok, it was never meant to be June in Roy's mind), to June 30th! Woohoo! Thank you... Sorry for creating the fuss ... I had simply slowed down...

  • Mike Schinkel is a credit to the community...

    As some of you may be aware, Mike Schinkel (Of Xtras.Net), have been (fumbling for the proper word... acquaintances is too weak... we know each other... friends is a little strong... hmmm)... Ok, we've known each other for a little bit. For awhile we were fierce competitors, the company I worked for...

  • Annoyed...

    Part of being in a community is that you get annoyed with people (OK, I think I have a rare talent for getting annoyed at weird things... blame, it on my parents... they're far worse than me). I think my current annoyance is justified though. Justified Annoyance Roy Osherove announced his add-in contest...

  • The dangers of futuritis!

    First of all before I head off in my direction, I want everyone to know that I am definitely interested in VS 2005 (Whidbey). I really am. I have been reading (with a grain of salt) much of the stuff that is coming out. I'd rather not have the deluge yet, but I really do understand why it's happening...

  • An interesting day...

    Well, today has been an interesting day. I didn't get set up for some of the things I want to do here. I have some cool tools that I've written that I'll be releasing shortly (one is a wrapper Web Custom Control for OWC Charting that is very helpful). Another is that I have a base Asp.Net page that works...

  • A cool tool...

    Ok, (as I warned earlier) I'm going to do a “product review“ of sorts. In the XDN subscription this month there are a couple free tools (well free to XDN subscribers)... one of which is brand new -- Dynamic AutoComplete (By LaMarvin, s.r.o. ). Since this seemed to be fairly unique I thought...

  • Mac OS X on Windows... well sort of...

    This past weekend has been devoted to one task, to get Mac OS X running under the pearpc emulator. I know this seems totally .Net unrelated (but I think with what I'm trying to do I think you'll see a point buried). The reason for all this is that I really want to use Mono on one of my clients mac projects...

  • Real programmers... don't use comments??!!

    (I know this may cause some alarm for some people... please understand this is all in fun). Yesterday I was talking with some the DBAs here at my job. One of which has been doing this awhile and the others are still fairly young in their careers. The more senior person stated that “comments are...

  • Past jobs...

    I've been thinking a lot about past jobs today. I had a former colleague discover my blog (Hi, Ken), and it brought back thoughts of a couple jobs that went bust before I was ready to leave. The truth about HMI (Hydrogen Media) If you live in the Tampa Bay Area within the last 5 years you probably have...

  • Quick Shout out...

    Hey, I just wanted to mention that my once protege' (“now, who is the master” -- sorry the Star Wars reference was too hard to resist) Dave is blogging here . He had a really cool post back on April 28th regarding customer service . Basically, he sees that we as an industry should do a better...

  • A slight monkey bite...

    I have been planning this post all weekend. What I desperately wanted to name it was “ Enter the Monkey! ” Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. For those who don't know, I have been swimming for a little over 2 years with a site on a Mac OS X machine running Apache Tomcat (JSP......

  • .Net 1.x is old technology??!!!?

    .Net 1.x is dead! I'm the first to announce this in case you missed it. So if you are using old ASP.Net 1.x then you should be thinking about upgrading your environments because that is outdated technology, my friend. I want all readers of this blog to approach their immediate supervisor and demand that...
