Robert McLaws: FunWithCoding.NET

I've been thinking about this for several days now, and I have finally formulated an opinion about the whole "dynamic query" argument. I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and give you my two cents.

I cannot express enough the coolness of Trillian. Don't get me wrong, the new Windows Messenger 5 beta is pretty nice, and MSN Messenger 6 will kick butt, but you can't beat being signed into 5 different screen names at once. If you're active in the .NET community at all, it pays to make use of it. As you'll see in the screenshot, the ability to nest groups and rename contacts can be invaluable.

WARNING!!! Do NOT use Frontpage 2003 to edit user controls. It thinks it's an aspx page and tries to add the @Page Directive to it, killing the control. It does this right before saving, so if you delete it it will just put it back in again.

I'm so excited. In one of my fits of retardedness, I got upset because the database table names in one of the website components I'm building collides with the table names from another app. I was lathering up in the shower, all worried about having to recompile and re-deploy to three sites, I remembered that my architecture allows me to only have to confine the changes to the Data Layer. Man I love 5-tiered architecture.

Paschal noted that I insense passion in people. Some may take that negatively, but I think it's a good thing. Why? Because most people could care less about anything, and if I can create an intense desire in someone to speak their mind, and God forbid,  maybe even care, then all the better.

It's finally here! My new article on the Windows 2003 Platform Wave. Grab your surfboard and hand on, cause this ain't your mother's dry humor. My wit and sarcasm go unedited for the first time, so you'll get a good look at why Early & Adopter are my heroes. There is a heated discussion going on about it as well, so go check it out.

Saw X2 on Friday. I've never seen a more culturally-relevant movie. Want proof? Check this out.

...delete your blog tool test posts. Do you leave tracing on when you deploy a website? Then please don't leave the main feed messy.
