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.

Partial View Caching in ASP.NET MVC 3
Posted Date: 6/23/2011 2:19:07 AM by Dan Martin
Exactly one year ago I wrote a post on how to cache partial views in ASP.NET MVC 2. Back then, you had to make use of the futures assembly to get this functionality but it was marked as being planned for version 3. I figured I’d write an update post to go over partial view caching and how it has been implemented in ASP.NET MVC 3. As expected, it is now part of the main project and does not require any additional assemblies or packages to be used.

NDC 2011 Video Torrent
Posted Date: 6/19/2011 11:56:15 PM by Dan Martin
A torrent of all the NDC 2011 videos (Norwegian Developers Conference) has finally hit the Internet. This torrent, while unofficial, seems to be complete and comes in at around 51GB for all 3-days worth of videos. You can grab the NDC 2011 torrent here. I was not able to attend, but I hope to view many of the videos in the next couple of weeks and do a review on my favorites. I encourage developers of any background to at least check out the conference agenda and see if anything catches your eye. Last years conference had many amazing presentations that I was able to view and I enjoyed them immensely. When the official torrent comes out, I will update this post with that link as well.

Migration Complete
Posted Date: 6/14/2011 2:26:49 AM by Dan Martin
In a bit of belated news, this blog has been successfully migrated over to AppHarbor. I haven’t gotten around to updating thanks to a mixture of laziness, sometimes being busy, and fixing a few bugs here and there. However I fully intend to resume blogging regularly, including a few posts on the migration to AppHarbor. I’m also planning to redesign this thing, but that will probably be at least a month away. Until then, if you notice something something funky with the site, then please feel free to let me know via the contact page or send me a nasty message through twitter.
