Yesterday, I have come full circle and realized how I have been apart of something really cool! If you go all the way back to my second post back in March of 2004 , you will see that the MS Dev Evangelist for the SW ( Joe Healy ) at gave me my nickname...

So a co-worker (Scott H.) sent me some code that is purely fictional (but a sick part of me wishes I had actually found it in the wild). Here's the code - Public Function IsNotFalse( ByRef Value As Boolean ) As Boolean IsNotFalse = False If Value = True...

I just saw this post by my co-worker Rob Teixeira (MS MVP) on Agile. Actually, IMO, it's not really about agile at all except maybe for Rob to get a couple one-liners in (on both sides), and it's also not an attack on agile despite the source of the name...

I have been playing with desktop GUI widgets the last week or so (mainly because of a Sahil post -- http://codebetter.com/blogs/sahil.malik/archive/2005/08/25/131224.aspx ). I have Konfabulator up and running and besides the memory footprint it seems...

I've been thinking about all this and I have been pondering ways to make my templated code more maintainable or better yet, get things to a point where I somewhat don't have to maintain code at all.
The idea I have come up with to create a CodeSmith template (I'm sure this can be done with other templating tools like MyGeneration) that let's me build CodeSmith Templates.

I was thinking today about one of my skills (at least I think its a skill). Recently I have had to touch a couple projects that the developer was no long since gone. In one case I needed to fix the remaining bugs on a project done by a consultant whose contract was over and whose project still had a few bugs.... I decided not to waste a lot of time rewriting everything, just the portion that was problematic. I guess in some respects I'm embracing XP.

You know this fantasy conference has not been as good as the Sells XML Conference. I hope he has another one of those soon; I'll sign up ASAP this time. Seriously it appears that Darrell is having a good time. I still wish I was there (basically nothing...

I've done a bit of reading over the last couple days. DonXML mentioned Domain Driven Design (DDD) in a comment . This led me to a series of posts from Steve Eichert on DDD. This post of Steve's was very intriguing to me. He talks about the need for UI...
