From The Wayward WebLog:

They are awake, bleary, weary and barely lucid, secretly feeding their addiction.  Yes, it is sad and depraved, and utterly reprehensible.  Of course, they don't want you to know because they need to keep the mystery.  It will make it all the more poignant when the truth does come out, because they have a plan, and it is big. They need to code. It is what makes them go; the juice that makes them feel alive, and it is all leading somewhere. 

How true this is. I couldn't have said it better myself.

These results are interesting as my major prior to my switch to programming was pre-law. You can take the short exam here.

I've written some sample code to generate a RSS feed from the Windows Event Logs. This is very handy for monitoring servers - perhaps a poor man's SNMP monitor. :-)

Today I needed the ASP.NET Panel web control to render as a html div element in Netscape 7.0 and Mozilla 1.0 (as opposed to a html table) for several different reasons that would take too long to detail here. Awhile back I found the following code snippet but unfortunately I can't recall exactly where I found it so I can't give due credit. Anywho, place the following snippet inside the <system.web></system.web> section of your web.config file. This will cause these browsers to essentially be treated as 'uplevel' browsers, thus rendering panels as div. On a related note, I thought that I had heard that the browserCaps would be updated periodically. Does anyone know how often this occurs and where I might be able to find an updated version?

If you've ever seen the web.config file that ASP.NET uses, and thought, "Wow, I'm so glad they configure things that way, in this nice, easy-to-use XML file. Wish I could do that!" then you should check out the System.Configuration namespace. There's an interface called IConfigurationSectionHandler that lets you write your own parsers for your application configuration file, letting you put whatever you want in there. [CraigBlog]

I used Craig's XmlSerializerSectionHandler today to set up a custom configuration settings section for one of my ASP.NET assemblies. Kudos to Craig for the very simple and elegant solution.
