A while back (a Long while back), I posted a piece about all the bickering went on in a certain newsgroup. It was a rather dumb post on my part and it was titled “Mobility Freestyle Battles”. Ok, since then it seems a lot of little Rappaz...

So there I am sitting in Arby's reading up on A First Look at Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Developers and on comes CNN. The first thing I see is an 'objective' poll CNN is holding “Do you think it's right for TV Networks to show Partisan Anti John...

Team America - The World Police

Well, it was every bit as good as I thought it would be and probably the most patriotic movie I've seen. I was going into it thinking it was going to be South Park and in many ways it was. However it wasn't South Park with puppets instead of animation...

Dear Mrs. Phil: A while ago I used to know a guy named Phil and he was the coolest. I used to read his blog on a regular basis and he actually used to write stuff and all of it was funny. Then I think he got married or something. Then I suppose he went...

W Pulled it out

Published Fri, Oct 8 2004 23:43 | William

After making a complete jackass out of himself in the last debate, looks like the Pres managed to pull it off tonight. Kerry did pretty well but if you saw the last debate, Kerry pulled a repeat. He's polished, smooth and well informed, but he's still...

Log4Net

Published Thu, Oct 7 2004 23:35 | William

One of the guys I worked with turned me on to Log4Net and we use it quite a bit on most of our projects. The more I use it the more I like it - certainly a lot more to it than simple Trace and Debug Statements. Just wondering if anyone else is using it...

Damn XM Radio

I just checked my referers and I noticed that none other than the .NET Goddess herself has linked to me. If you haven't bought her book yet, trust me on this, it's one of the best books to come down the pipeline in a while. I've 'lent' it to three co...
