Trip to Redmond in October

Turns out I'll be up in Redmond in a couple weeks for an event (I'm not sure I can say why though).  If anyone else out there will be at MS on October 5,6,7 drop me a line, we'll meet for beers.

Lot's of VB on The Daily WTF (v.2)

Rob just left a comment asking "what was the driving motive behind my last post".  To be honest, that thought just ran through my head as I was reading the linked post on WTF, so figured I would post it.

I'm not really trying to start a language war or anything, but bad VB code does seem to be pervasive (though I will say most of that bad code is from the VB 6 era, unless is ported code to VB.NET, or people are relying heavily on the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace).

As unpopular as the question is (or as much as it looks like a slashdot question), I think it's a legitimate one to ask.

Read more links for weblogs.asp.net (cont)

...I've decided to make all my posts ~25 words or less so readers don't have to futz around with those annoying read more links!

Of course, with my low volume posting of late, I'm not costing MS anything...  ;)

 

Read more links for weblogs.asp.net

It appears that MS has turned off full-feeds for weblogs.asp.net's rss retrieval.  Ok, so until I can move my blog over to my own personal server (I've debated this for a while, but I was like the 10th blog here and I like living here)
