• You gotta love multitasking

  Ok,  so I am currently: Downloading Windows XP for MSDN Installing windows 2003 in a VPC using FeedDemon to read blogs Downloading Hibernate using FireFox Writing this blog using my Tablet PC Does anyone remember Windows 3.11 where you couldn't touch the mouse while downloading something (either from a BBS or the internet) because the download would crash. Wow, we've come a long way...   Posted Jun 24 2004, 09:30 PM by dbrowning with no comments

• My eyes! My eyes!!

  Ok, its been a long time since I've seen old-school ASP code (and even longer since I've written any [Thank God] ) which is why yesterdays daily WTF kills me.  Not only is the SQL completely jacked up but I can't believe there was a day when I thought it was ok to mix presentation code, VB Script, and  T-SQL together! Damn! Posted Jun 22 2004, 11:56 PM by dbrowning with no comments

• Cataloging Web Services at work

  Does any one have a good method for cataloging web services?  I know that UDDI was to be the defacto Web Service discovery mechanism, but it seems like it doesn't have much momentum anymore. What is everyone out there doing?  I'm not sure if I want to do a programmatic catalog where people/applications can consume/query it, or if regular list (using InfoPath, Excel, or Word) is good enough. Anybody have any ideas? [Listening to: The Beastie Boys - To the 5 Boroughs]   Posted Jun 21 2004, 02:46 PM by dbrowning with 1 comment(s)

• Ever wonder how the lock keyword came about.

  If you have, (or hell even if you haven't) go read Eric's post on How an idea becomes a C# language feature? Excellent reading!   Posted Jun 09 2004, 08:58 PM by dbrowning with no comments
