Lessons in building an uploader in Silverlight
I mentioned previously that I was working on a multi-file upload control for Silverlight. Yes, it has been done, but it's a good practical thing to get your head around. I feel like I've managed to get to a good place with it in terms of the "hard" parts...
Forum search win
I checked to see how CoasterBuzz's search index was going today, and was pretty shocked to see that it now as about 15 million rows. Can't say that I've personally written anything that generated that much data on its own before. Once upon a time, POP...

Gotchas and learnings from refactoring to use ASP.NET AJAX
I promise that one of these days soon I'm going to talk a little about where POP Forums v8 is headed, and what you'll be able to do with it. I don't imagine there's a huge demand for the app, but regardless, it will be available. In any case, I spent...
POP Forums v8, in the wild (it does exist)
After mostly sitting on a mostly functional, if not feature complete, build of POP Forums v8 for almost a year, I deployed it as a part of the second coming of PointBuzz , the most popular unofficial fan site for Cedar Point amusement park. It was kind...
The weirdness between VS dev server and IIS
Every once in awhile I find some strange differences between IIS and the ASP.NET dev server that comes in Visual Studio. The previous item was that IIS seems to have at least two instance of HttpModules, while the dev server only has one. The new one...
