Wednesday, September 15, 2004 1:56 PM
So I just finished competing in the qualification round for Google's Top Coder contest , and well, damn there are some quick coders out there. You basically had 1 hour to code solutions for 2 problems, 1 being worth 400 points and the other worth being 1000 points.

ASP.NET Server Controls Presentation
Thursday, August 05, 2004 8:52 AM
Yesterday, I stated that I had to prepare a presentation for my .NET User Group, and after 3.5 hours of quickly throwing together a presentation and demos, I was done. Yay! I luckily only had enough time to leave work (yes late), drive to the Microsoft office, setup my laptop, and then go! Call that close? I would. Onto the presentation, nay, discussion. I say...

Check out Before Find & Replace
Wednesday, July 14, 2004 11:45 AM
So I had to make a change to a demo at work today, which is checked into VSS. This change basically was to modify the color of an element in CSS (which happens to be on every page, thats about 250 demo HTML pages). Ohh, stupid me...I didn't check the files out before doing the Find & Replace, so now I'm having to click "Check Out" 250+ times everytime this... Read More...

Today I was visiting a client site doing some data mining on a third party product that they own. Ultimately we will be building reports off of their data using SQL Reporting Services. Well, as I was going through the tables, I kept seeing date fields that didn't look like a normal date field. Much to my dismay, this third party company (who uses SQL Server 2000... Read More...

Creating Classes in VS.NET
Monday, April 12, 2004 2:59 PM
I'm sitting here at work building an application using TDD (which by itself is another post, and may be coming later), and every time I start a new class for another piece of the puzzle, I'm hating on how I have put the keyword "sealed" class in my declaration. Now, this isn't a major issue, but it can be if you plan on releasing an API for customers to build... Read More...

NUnit TestRunner VS.NET Addin
Monday, April 05, 2004 3:48 PM
My team at work is starting to look into using the Extreme Programming (XP) model, and as such I've started to do some reading up on it...and determined that its driven highly on TDD. This is something, unfortunately, I've had no experience with. So - I downloaded NUnit and started working with it, and (like always) I was trying to find the most streamlined way... Read More...
