It's Always The Little Things
Posted Date: 1/21/2012 4:18:57 AM
I had some time to kill this evening, so I figured I’d address some minor nagging issues with the site. One of which, was that Chrome did not seem to be auto-discovering my RSS feed correctly. I thought I had everything set up right, and it seemed to get picked up by Firefox and IE just fine, but never in Chrome. So where would one begin with solving this issue?

2011 Retrospective And 2012 Goals
Posted Date: 1/19/2012 2:25:45 AM
After a fairly active 2010, I set several important goals for myself in 2011. So how well did I do in accomplishing those goals? To be honest, I am pretty disappointed in myself but I remain hopeful and excited for 2012. Anyway, here are the results for 2011.

Going To CodeMash

Finally! I’ve been wanting to go to the CodeMash conference for a couple of years and always manage to find an excuse not to. This year I finally made it a point to ensure that I’d go. I booked my hotel reservation a month in advance and I was ready to order my ticket as soon as they went on sale. Turns out that was a very wise decision, because all 1200 tickets were sold within the first 20 minutes. I ordered as soon as they went on sale and this is what I saw on twitter immediately following the completion of my order:

The Windows 8 Post That Never Was
Posted Date: 8/30/2011 3:39:16 AM
I was digging through my collection of half-written blog posts and found one regarding the Windows 8 demo and the resulting fallout from back in June. It was amusing at first to watch people freak out about HTML5 & JavaScript. There was a good mixture of laughter and shaking of my head as I read through the replies in the epic Silverlight.net forum threads that resulted in millions of page views. I had all sorts of absurd and moronic quotes written down. I even put to practice my awful Photoshop skills to make a funny picture describing the situation (linked below). I started to make the case for and against all the rage. I had jotted down my own predictions and what I expected to see announced at the BUILD 2011 conference in September and so on and so on…

Filtering Errors In ELMAH
Posted Date: 8/28/2011 8:44:33 PM
There are very few projects I enjoy more than ELMAH. If you’ve never heard of it, please check out the project site for more details. It is essentially an open source gift from the software gods that lets lazy people like me easily do application-wide error logging. I use it on this blog and have no complaints. However as I intended, I will receive emails for every exception encountered. Even on a low-traffic site such as this, I end up with an absurd amount of 404 errors. So it would be nice if I could ignore the 404 errors and continue to be notified of the others.
