I had a problem using a website today that was due to some logic on the part of the programmer. This gave me more pause to consider my own logical error in an app that I am currently working on, even though the code was just fine… [read more]

I’ve been spending a lot of time with ASP.NET 2.0 lately whereas I had been focused mostly on ADO.NET and Windows Forms for quite a while.
Currently I am working on some articles for aspnetPRO magazine as well as preparing a number of sessions (totaly different topics than the articles) for the Fall 2006 ASPConnections (and two for Visual Studio connections). On the flip side, I have a ClickOnce article waiting inthe wings for CoDe Magazine – it’s been written, just not edited yet.
This also means I have gotten temporarily distracted from the likes of Linq, WCF and more. All in good time, I suppose…

Okay, bad analogy… I admit it. But it’s early and I’ve only had one cupajoe.
I was helping someone out with some VBA code in their Access 2003 database. (It was not a situation where moving to VSTO was an option, in case you were about to suggest that.) I was just helping them get something working. It’s really painful coding in VBA after years of .NET, not only the IDE experience, but going backwards with things like instantiating a variable (which you have to do separately from code to give it a variable). There are things I know how to solve, but the way I would go about it (the .NET way) isn’t an option and I have to find alternate routes. But, heck, it was a rainy weekend, and I hammered through it and put a big smile on the faces of these guys. 🙂

I had a user complain (in a very nice way) that the following password requirement was too much work:
Minimum 7 characters
Must include one non-alphanumeric key
Sheesh.

Now that the initial madness has subsided and people are saying “wow it’s really fast to download now!” it’s time for not-so-fast broadband users like me (hey, I live in the boonies) to try to get the bits. Here’s the current promise of the downloader
