Watching the Polyglot Programming video courtesy of enabler-extraordinaire, Dave Laribee, and it revealed (or rather re-revealed) something about myself that I hope is common enough that I'll get at least one BOOYAH in the comments. I watched Amadeus...

The hillbilly loves to be humbled. It's why he refers to himself in the third person. It's a liberating feeling knowing there are people out there who are smarter, faster, and know more lyrics to Air Supply songs than you. And I always like to...

Normally when I have a problem I can't solve right away, I bang away at it until I have a half-assed solution that I can post here so that others can provide a better solution in the comments. It's how I've found about four methods for testing...

Got myself a delicious problem but there is another discussion to be had so I will leave you hanging on that one until a later post. I've already hinted at the software I'm working on for the time being. It's essentially something to help...

Here's the bad thing about ASP.NET MVC. Every little thing about it is bloggable mostly because every little thing is new to it. I'm half considering using Monorail just because everything in it is so well-documented, I wouldn't need to waste...

The topic of this post is pretty much the polar opposite of what I was hoping to achieve when I came to CodeBetter since it is about as technical as your average Teletubby but it's here by popular demand. So if you aren't interested, this will...

The Hillbilly turns 36 today and for my birthday, each and every one of you is going to give me a present by listenin' to a little story of when I was but a wee developer fresh out of codin' skool. (Unless you're on the ASP.NET MVC team, in...

Ah, it's good to be back on the circuit. The Hillbilly made his first speaking engagement since May '06 earlier this week, thanks to the brave and trusting souls behind the South Florida .NET user groups . They have themselves a nice group out...

ReSharper 3.1 is out, which you already knew. I put it off until this morning when I read Chris Patterson's account of the solution-wide analysis and thought about how funny that might be to run against my current project . I didn't get too far...

I don't know how it happened. Throughout my career, I've been careful not to be "one of those guys". I scoffed inwardly at the discussions on the ALT.NET user group claiming that it could happen to anyone. "Surely I am above such...

Caution: This post has very little technical content but may contain traces of inspiration and could induce vomiting. Do not read if you have heart problems or a healthy streak of cynicism. As you can imagine, hillbillies are optimists by nature. Happy...

Have started a new project at the current contract and I'm muy excited about it. It's a "legacy" .NET 1.1 app that was upgraded to 2.0 by running the wizard, then left alone. It has a web service created by an architect who appears to...
