• Membership in POP Forums revisited again

  Last week I posed the question on whether or not I should write my own Membership provider for use in POP Forums. As I mentioned in that post, I already have my People class that does so much of what Membership does, but it might be convenient for users including the forum in their app to use the familiar (well, it'll be familiar someday!) Membership class instead of my own. Now that I've spent some time with it, creating my own provider would be a piece of cake because I'd only need to override

• Source Safe by HTTP: It's about time!

  I just read this about Visual SourceSafe 2005: Remote Web Access over HTTP. Use Visual Studio to connect to Visual SourceSafe databases from anywhere in the world where HTTP or HTTPS Web access is available. (Requires Visual Studio 2005, IIS, and ASP .NET). It's about time!

• Self-employment: Week 1

  Since quitting my job last week , I can't tell you how liberated I feel. Aside from some final pay issues to deal with, I really feel like I'm living on my own terms. I didn't do much of anything Monday except take a walk in the morning with Stephanie and do some grocery shopping. Other than that, I took it easy all day since I've not really had time to chill since January. Today I got back to writing the book, a process now made more official since the publisher sent me the right Word templates

• Today is the day...

  Today is the day that I voluntarily quit my day job. Today is the day that I accept the financial risks of working for myself and take a real stab at making it work. Today is the day I can begin concentrating on my ASP.NET book so that it's finished on time and doesn't suck. Today is the day that a job and The Man no longer place constraints on me that keep me from doing what I really want to do in terms of professional development, personal time, diet and exercise. Today is the day that even my

• Integrating Membership and Profile with POP Forums

  Now that I'm finally getting more comfortable with VS 2005, I think I'm going to start writing some code for POP Forums v8. I'm in a funny place though regarding the membership system I already have. I have a People class that is more or less a container for rows in the forum's member table. It has properties that match like Name, Email, etc. My Global class does the plumbing you've seen elsewhere to associate roles with the logged-in user by creating a new Principal object and blasting it to the

• Writing a book is a bitch...

  OK, actually I already knew that. No, actually I'm not finding it that hard getting pen to paper. It's the time... there isn't enough time. I decided I need to quit my contract job at a Major Auto Insurance Company(TM). I hate to do it as things keep ramping up, but this book is too important to me. I need the next three months off to concentrate and make it a tome that will sell 10,000+ copies. To do that it needs love and attention, as does ASP.NET v2 because it'd be suicide to write a book that

• Launched a new site last night!

  Finally, Walt and I launched PointBuzz last night. The premise is simple: I don't have the desire to maintain a ton of content, and would rather write code, while Walt likes to produce content. So we combined Virtual Midway and Guide to The Point into PointBuzz. It is, without question, the greatest unofficial Cedar Point site ever created. I'm excited about it. I can't take a ton of credit for it because Walt's the insane one to cover everything at Cedar Point. What I find neat is that the underlying

• Open source: Far from a reason not to use .NET

  I love the little holy wars that go on in various forums about why .NET sucks or whatever. Those who state this are generally folks that have never used the platform. One of their key “arguments” is the lack of open source community around it. I'll admit I've never bought into the open source ideology as something that will save the world, but I've been really impressed with all of the open source tools in the .NET world. I personally have used NUnit , Nant , NDoc and FIT , among others
