Google AdSense: You suck
Like a lot of Web publishers, I depend pretty heavily on AdSense to generate revenue and pay the bills. A good server isn't free. So imagine my horror when, on Thursday, the numbers dropped between 50 and 80%, depending on the site. Something is horribly...
Using the Scoring Game from POP Forums with your ASP.NET MVC app
Let me tell you a story of HR-discouraged workplace fun. Back in the day, prior to the crash-and-burn of Insurance.com, we had this thing in the development part of the company called the Scoring Game. I wrote about it a couple of years ago on my personal...
POP Forums v9.2.1 posted to CodePlex, adds only Spanish translation

Wanted: Language translations for .resx files in open source POP Forums

POP Forums v9.1.0 has been posted to CodePlex!
Finally! After moving, being a dad and engaging in a great deal of home improvement, I finally managed to find time to an update out to POP Forums. I hope to not be that guy anymore, going forever between updates. Release Notes This is the first release...
XSLT is not the solution you're looking for
I was very relieved to see that Umbraco is ditching XSLT as a rendering mechanism in the forthcoming v5. Thank God for that. After working in this business for a very long time, I can't think of any other technology that has been inappropriately used...
My departure from Microsoft
Whoa, I just realized that I never really announced here that I've decided to leave Microsoft. Actually, left, is more like it, since I'm currently on vacation. Nothing really exciting or controversial about it, just a list of reasons why it makes sense...
