I hate seeing this error. Last night I moved this web site to another server and when I ran the site I got a YSOD telling me "Thread was being aborted" and "The type initializer for ...
Some browsers just don't seem to "get" the idea behind shared files like CSS or Javascript files. For a while now I've been uploading updates to a web site and noticing that the brow...
Found a truly bizarre problem with WinZip over the weekend. I zipped up the whole of a project I am working on, adding just the files that changed since a certain date. Then I sorted by folders and ty...
At the weekend I had a problem with a new site where it would keep asking me to sign in every time I visited. It's well known now that ASP.NET 2.0 changed the way that timeouts worked, so I c...
This is very cool. We've talked about having a blog for Telligenti for *cough* quite some time, but finally we had time to put one up at www.telligenti.com. I'm mirroring my new Telligent...
This week has been crazy on a secret site that is being launched next week. 3 hours sleep has become the norm, and caffeine is my friend. And it's the most fun I've had programming under press...
This is probably an oldie, but only today have I lost patience with the Error List window. I'm fed up with the hundreds of HTML validation errors it shows, hiding the real build errors. Half the t...
Call me a control freak, but I really dislike the magical aspects of VS 2005 & ASP.NET 2.0. You know, the times where HAL VS2005 says "We'll fix that up for you, don't worry how"...

I guess it's quite rare, but today I needed to have a list of radio buttons with a bunch of other controls on the same line as the buttons. So, without thinking I put a RadioButton control inside ...
I almost got away with it; this morning I figured that if I hadn't got tagged by this meme by now I missed it - but it wasn't to be. ScottW got me. I don't think it's a rule that ...

Recently I worked on a friend's website who wanted to sell downloadable zip files - with a twist. The zips are all different; configured in realtime depending on the options chosen. So I needed a ...
Schtum: adj, slang. Keep quiet, maintain confidentiality Working on a secret project at Telligent has made it tough to blog on technical subjects this year. I'm a big fan of open process and ...
Reading about old toolboxes I came across this post:"Twenty years ago this January I went down to the basement because the oil burner was making some odd sounds. This Craftsman tool box was on a ...
Hey, IE Team, when I start debugging you open a new browser window but IE7 has got me into the habit now of using tabs all the time so when I want to open other pages, docs etc I quickly have 5-6 tabs...
I just found out that my recent Woot purchase, a 19” LCD Monitor, has been lost by Fedex. L The tracking simply stopped after arrival at Carol Stream, IL a week ago. I’ve never been throug...
I hit a bizarre error today - one of those where ASP.NET hinders, not helps. But surprisingly it's quite common and well documented. It starts with browsing your site and hitting a "Service U...
I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out - most people I've read seems to say that Netflix rules, Blockbuster drools. I disagree (and I'm not alone)Blockbuster's recent (and wel...
It's official, it's out of here at the end of the week. It only takes one bid when there's no reserve Removing a few hundred pound body from the chassis was an interesting problem when you...
I got my copy of Cars in the mail just now - and as always I'm ripping it first. This is what AnyDVD reports: Media is CSS protected! RCE protection not found. Found & removed wrong DVD struct...
Community Server 2.1 RC1 is up there for download. Obviously it's the best release yet and it's I'm now officially an enthusiast. Yeah, I've worked at Telligent for almost a year now but only recently...
How cool is this? Field of Dreams is being screened in the field where the movie was originally shot.
Being English, my love of baseball started with this movie.
Man, I wish I could go.

Well, I got my CS site up and working - on my local machine. :D
And then, my FTP program decided to have a very immature and badly-timed hissy fit. It took an hour to upload the files, often quoting 4...
..and within 15 minutes (how is that possible?) the ringtone spam comments poured into my blog.
So, this is it. This is the weekend that CYA moves to CS. It's not hard, thousands of people do this ea...

New house, new routines. It's strange how blogging has suffered from me moving 3 weeks ago. I have 660 unread blog posts right now as I find that reading them has become a lower priority. As has writi...

I keep hearing on mailing lists, forums and now blogs about the new Consolas font for Visual Studio.
Consolas Conschmolas.
Yuck.
It may be a prettier or technically superior monospaced font, but it's...
Last week I did an image search for my name, and my picture didn't come up on the first page. No biggie, although my sites have pretty good page ranking so I was a little surprised.
But it wasn't on ...
While playing with CS 2.0 and WF in VS 2005 I found that most people were debugging by attaching to the aspnet_wp process. Although this works well, it's more convenient to debug with F5, so I started...
This week I've been getting into WF1 by adding some approval workflow to the CS 2.0 Articles. Don't get excited, this WON'T be checked-in people. It's purely research.
So far, I'm impressed. Ken now r...

Tara is flying to England for two weeks on Monday (don't ask how I will cope with the kids, I don't know yet) so I had a brief period of niceness and popped out and bought her a Video iPod yesterday. ...

We had a great week here in Dallas discussing CS 3.0 and all the new scrummy-goodness that it's going to have. I've finally decided to move this blog to CS 2.0, s...
I came across an unsual situation for me the other day; I wanted to add a single feed to my NewsGator that aggregated all the WWF feeds found on www.WindowsWorkflow.net
