WCF Beta Exam
Sunday, December 02, 2007 8:17 PM

I took the opportunity to sit the WCF Beta exam a few days ago and I must say, it was very hard. Being beta, I don't find out the results until about 8 weeks later, but I reckon I didn't fare too well. I did book the test a little impulsively, however I saw the opportunity to do it, and only had a free day to do the test that was a few days later than when I... Read More...

I haven't used Liquid XML in some time and had forgotten how good value this little tool is. XML editing, instance document generation, schema validation and more, XPath query tool, all for free. The schema document visualisation is really strong too. Awesome tool, and hats off to Liquid Technologies for making such an awesome tool available free to use. Thanks... Read More...

Sunday, November 04, 2007 5:30 PM

Warning: Rant to follow: Ok, I know Outlook 2007 is a complicated piece of software. I know its gone through a whole series of revisions. Could I make a better piece of software? Well I'd like to think so, but the people at Microsoft are smart people so it could be debatable. What I do know? Outlook 2007 is significantly less stable for me than Outlook 2003 ever...

Saturday, September 01, 2007 3:14 PM

There have been many posts bemoaning the RSS support in Outlook 2007 and I generally agree, however the convenience of having it nicely searchable in Outlook 2007 is a massive bonus for so I have lived with all the other issues. However, lately all my feeds have stopped updating. I looked at this post but all seemed ok on my system. All services running and registry... Read More...

Web Client Software Factory and Enterprise Library. I want to Opt-in, not Opt-out.
Monday, May 28, 2007 12:34 AM

I am a fan of the Web Client Software factory . Its a pretty good implementation of the MVP pattern within ASP.NET. Pretty lean and clean and doesn't involve lots of effort to get the simple stuff done, unlike a lot of other MVC based implementations/frameworks. One of the things I don't like about it is the automatic inclusion of the Enterprise Library pieces... Read More...
