Robert McLaws: FunWithCoding.NET

I saw this really awesome article here: http://dotnetweblogs.com/Jkey/posts/3006.aspx on how to access the files in the GAC. Really frickin awesome. Now I can troubleshoot GAC errors without having to deal with GacUtil. I plan to test this extensively.

Saw an interesting link online today. It's how to configure Windows Server 2003 in a workstation environment.

What follows is the contents of an e-mail that I sent to MIcrosoft Watch regarding their misquote of an MS employee. Crap like this really makes me angry. I doubt that it will ever do any good, but maybe you guys can all send in enough "tips" like this that they post a retraction,

I went to the Arizona .NET Users Group meeting for the first time last night. I had been meaning to go for nearly a year now, but have lacked the means and the motivation to get there. Man it was so cool. I realized that I've been holed up in my apartment too long. It was so great to get to socialize with people who know what I'm talking about when I mention "System.DirectoryServices" and "Bitwise Operators".

I've been reading all your blogs this morning about how bad the weather is back east, and I have only one thing I can say: I'm glad I live in Mesa, AZ. All it ever does here is rain, oh yeah I almost forgot about the heat. The drought out here has been horrible, and we received a welcome 6 inches of rain over the past 3 days. The earth is so parched that for the most part it sucked right into the ground. I know it's probably bad out there, but just remember we've had once of teh worst droughts in decades, and this precipitation will definitely help out the water situation.

Just woke up, and headed off to work. I wish I could get a .NET-related day job, instead of this $11.50/ht network admin job, but hey at least it's a job. I know too many developers that are unemployed. It's a shame.

While I have been using this blog to comment more on world events than .NET development, I promise I'll start talking more about coding in the near future.

Just when you thought the UN Security Council would get a clue....
