  • Close everything and unzip all

    Couple o' quick productivity tips. The first I posted on Twitter yesterday. That is, in Visual Studio, you can map Ctrl-Alt-F4 so that it closes all open document windows. It's a noticeable time saver for me because I often get to the stage where I'm holding down Ctrl-F4 for about ten seconds...

  • BahaNET Meeting 2 - We Hardly Knew Ye

    Need to be more on the ball with announcing community events that I'm hosting. The Bahamas .NET User Group had its second meeting on May 28 and it was another success. Running a user group is an odd kind of thing. There is more work than you imagined when you had the initial idea and you often get...
  • DimeCasts.NET

    Have been waiting for Derik to announce this for a while and it's finally happened. He's launched a new service called DimeCasts.NET . The site will be a repository for screencasts he's done/doing on various .NET topics. He's seeded it with a few already on unit testing and I believe...
  • "Server cannot modify cookies" error in ASP.NET MVC

    This post falls into the "Google-able errors" category and won't be of much use to anyone who isn't get the specific error. Here's the error I was getting: Server cannot modify cookies after http headers have been sent This is in my ASP.NET MVC application and the offending code...
  • Not all truths are self-evident...

    Here's a true story from the other night that I'm going to masquerade as a lesson in listening to your clients and understanding their perspectives. Mostly, though, I just think it'll provide you with some entertainment at my expense. In this case, the client is my eight-year-old daughter...

  • Florida Tweener weekend

    I was invited to speak at the Florida Tweener weekend which is the weekend 'twixt the two TechEd weeks in Orlando. The schedule is up and I had no idea what the scale of this thing would be! Not only is there a full day .NET code camp but also over a dozen other activities. The ones I'm excited...
  • Auto-registration in ASP.NET MVC

    Coming off a week at DevTeach . Others have   commented on how great it is so I'll just use my own observation as a lead-in for the real meat. DevTeach gives me a renewed interest in learning. After seeing presentations on topics I've kinda sorta grokked/solubled, it's nice to gain further...
  • Researching search

    I've had "searching" on my mind lately but in a very narrow focus. Specifically, I have a Brownfield application for a client I dig up every so often whenever new features need to be added to it. (Off topic: As soon as I can re-brand the sucker, it'll make a dandy little sample app...

  • Sparring before DevTeach

    'Tis the day before I head out for DevTeach and have already completed my pre-conference ritual with my wife. It's a fun game we play a few times a year called "Why do you do this?" I was just settling in for some quality time with Bear Grylls when she starts the first round off with...

  • Good Gestalt!

    The hillbilly recently upgraded his trailer to Windows Server 2008 but it wasn't interesting enough to talk about, mostly because it went so seamlessly. So much so that I'm hauling out a post from my old blog rather instead of relating my experience. But I will say that so far, I'm very happy...
  • BahaNET Meeting 1: A Recap

    NOTE: This post is about a day and a half late. I could claim that I wanted the event to sink in first but the reality is I was trying to get a handle back on things after a very hectic week. Part of it was a short but very successful trip to NYC. So dense was the wife's and daughter's shopping...
