The Windows 8 Post That Never Was
Posted Date: 8/30/2011 3:39:16 AM by Dan Martin
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 by Dan Martin
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.

More Changes
Posted Date: 8/27/2011 5:30:10 PM by Dan Martin
Yeah...I switched domains again. I never really liked "TheZenDev". The name was stupid at best and was a poorly thought out and rushed alternative to my old dmartin.net domain. Anyway I think I am content with this new one and it is something I have been planning to do for months until I finally got around to doing it. I switched the design up a bit, mostly just color scheme & logo. I plan on fixing up the design a lot more in the next couple of months but nothing too drastic. I got some good posts on some internal improvements I've made that some might find interesting, so I'll try and get on a regular blogging schedule ASAP. If anyone runs into any issues with the "new" site, please let me know.
