  • CodeProject RSS Feed moved.

    No Comments

    I believe that Codeproject is making an official rss feed, but who knows exactly when that will be done.  So as many of you already know I have created an unofficial feed.  There has been some issues with the feed though, namely I was hosting it from my Window XP machine which only allows for 10 concurrent connections.  It has been added to a lot of peoples RSS Aggregators so people are getting a “too many connections” error sometimes.  It has had more that 14,000 hits in the last week, granted most of those are hits from Aggregators.   I have moved it to http://wes.www4.dotnetplayground.com/codeprojectrss.aspx., but for now I have the old link http://www.puzzleware.net/CodeProject/rss20.aspx redirected to the new link so everyone should still be able to access it.  If anyone has some space and is willing to host the feed let me know and I will give you the code.

  • Big Day

    Well as I’ve posted before, for those interested.  I have decided to attend Virginia Tech’s CS grad program so I will be moving to Blacksburg, VA in August.  But even bigger news is that my fiancé (Ramola) and I are getting married July 18, in VA.  She is from India so in December we will be going to India to have an Indian wedding there.  This next year will be an interesting one for me.

  • .Net vs Baseball

    No Comments

    I have been pretty quite as of late on the blogging front, primarily because I haven't been sitting at my computer as usual.  I have been getting outside and running more (preparing to run a 5k soon) since the nice weather has hit.  I have also been watching a lot of baseball.  Baseball has been my favorite sport since I was in junior high when the Reds swept the Athletics in the 1990 World Series.  Yes I'm a Reds fan I still support my home team, even if they do suck.  I have also been concentrating on my Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team, I’m in first right now yippy.  I guess it is a good idea for me to unplug from my computer every now and then.

  • Symmetric Encryption/Decryption Example

    No Comments

    A friend of mine asked me today how one would go about encrypting something using the Rijndael algorithm (also known as AES) using the .NET framework. I’ve done some crypto work, so I whipped up a quick example for him. It turns out to be pretty much exactly the same as using any other symmetric algorithm like DES. I've posted the code and a brief explanation here.

  • .Net Regular Expression Site

    1 Comment

    I ran across this pretty cool .Net Regular Expression site at www.dotnetcoders.com today, thanks to www.dotnetwire.com, and I figured I would pass it on.  I have been thinking about putting up a .Net Regular Expression Tester/Resource, something I could easily access for reference whenever I'm writing regular expressions.  I'll see, I may still put something together, if for no other reason than to learn more about regular expressions.
