Debugging Pain–End to End
Thursday, February 21, 2013 7:18 AM
We had an issue recently that caused us some time and quite a lot of head scratching. We had made some relatively minor changes to our product and performed a release into staging for testing.

My Code Kata–A Solution Kata
Sunday, November 13, 2011 1:53 PM
There are many developers and coders out there who like to do code Kata’s to keep their coding ability up to scratch and to practice their skills. I think it is a good idea. While I like the concept, I find them dead boring and of minimal purpose. Yes, they serve to hone your skills but that’s about it. They are often quite abstract, in that they usually focus...

Diskeeper–a short review
Monday, May 16, 2011 9:23 AM
I have been lucky enough to be ASP.NET MVP for a number of years now. One of the perks of that is you get access to free licences of software such as Diskeeper . This piece of software keeps your disks running as smooth as they possibly can. I have been using Diskeeper for around 2 months now and am pretty impressed. It silently does its thing in the background... Read More...
