Now this is funny...
When Oprah Winfrey gave away 276 cars last week to the audience of her show, images of people laughing, jumping, crying -- some hysterically -- filled the airwaves and the give-away became stuff of legend...But now some of those eager prize-winners have a choice: Fork over $7,000 or give up the car.

In a shameless attempt to help promote traffic to my new permanent blog site (http://www.davebost.com), I will offer up teasers to my posts on my weblogs.asp.net site with a link to the actual post.
On to the post...
I was helping one of the developers on our team with an interesting little debugging issue in Visual Studio .NET today. I thought I share it with my readers (all 3 of you).
One of our developers came up to me today and said he was having an issue with a breakpoint not hitting. This particular situation involved a main web project alongside a class library project under one solution. He was setting a breakpoint in the class project and sure enough it wasn't firing. These are always fun ones to figure out, so I go through my standard questions for debugging web applications:
1.) Are you compiling in Debug or Release mode?
2.) Does the web config have the debug attribute set to true in the <compilation> configuration setting under <system.web>?
3.) Do you have the appropriate permissions? Are you an Administrator? If not, are you a member of the VS Developers and Debugger Users groups?
In this particular case, he answered Yes to all 3. <more>
A nice little read on project code names. Who would've thought there's much more to it than coming up with a catchy name to put on a t-shirt.
Ok… so Rory has only been on the job for a couple of weeks now and he’s already completely lost his mind during his stay at some of the roads finest 2 ½ star hotels. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with during his travels.
[Update: the 2nd round of invites are all gone.]
I recently gave away my 6 Gmail invites to some of the fine folks in the blogosphere. Gmail seems to be awarding my generosity by allowing me to invite 6 more. If you haven’t already gotten your hands on one of these invites (and who hasn’t) leave a comment and I’ll be sure to pass one your way. As is the standard, first come - first serve.
