Work
As of late I have gotten a chance to use the ASP.Net AJAX extenders and script controls, and so far am really liking how they work, though it would be nice if adding the .js was a little cleaner then manually adding them to the assembly wether in the AssemblyInfo.cs or the controls cs file. I have to say I really like the extender and script controls that come with the ASP.NET AJAX. They really are so much nicer to work with then building up Javascript strings in the CS file of the server control. I do...

Yesterday my boss had me upgrade the project files of our main app to use Visual Studio 2008. While doing this the migration wizard asked if I wanted to upgrade the app to work against the .Net 3.5 framework. He had said to just migrate the solution files for now, and later when there was time we would upgrade the framework version. Then he asked something I hadn't really thought about. "Does the .Net 3.5 framework support Windows 2000?" And its been quite a while since a single question had essentially ruined my day, but this one...

Had my first ever blue screen on my computer at work. Unfortunately, I think this may be foretelling a problem with the machine, since its my first blue screen since I started running XP that wasn't related to video drivers.
The picture really doesn't do it justice, but there really was something impressive and humorous (coworkers really liked it) about seeing this.
Update: Turned out to be bad memory, so now Im running on 1GB at work (with a fix in the works).

I was reading IHttpContext And Other Interfaces For Your Duck Typing Benefit over on Haacked. It reminded my of something I did Thursday, which made me wish that .Net 3.5 was already usable. I actually finally convinced my boss to let me try to automate at least some of the testing. So first order of business, change our the SQL installer program we use to allow it run without user interaction. After a good amount of refactoring of the monolithic control function, I get that part working. It can now do everything it needs to do by passing in all...

Back in May I decided that I was going to start reading more. Admittedly my dedication to this has been nowhere near what Justice Gray's. Since that first post I have: Read 3 and 8/3rds tech related books Listened to almost every .NET Rocks! (which I had already been listening to for a few years) and many of RunAs Radio shows Skimming the MSDN main feed for things that looked interesting. Reading 25 or so mostly development blogs, thankfully Ayende is the only one who averages more then one post per day or I would never get anything done. Reading through...

I doubt I actually had anything direct to do with it but something seems to have clicked with one of the junior developers. I'm pretty sure it wasn't something that I had done, other then figuring out an effective way to make him realize that it is in his best interest to not need me to walk him through things. Nothing threatening, simply reminding him of a couple of thing: I brought up that I had basically reached a plateau at the company, and that I was considering pursuing other opportunities (In fact I'm planing on talking to my boss about...
