iBelt

I forgot my belt this morning. Luckily, my iPod cable just happens to be the perfect length to substitute. Nerdy? Whatever. At least I have pants.

This past June I started cycling from my house in Evergreen (in the SW) to downtown Calgary. Today I took the time to create a Google Map of the journey: View Larger Map

Write code as if you care what others think about what you’ve written.

What I Learned From X That Makes Me a Better Programmer in Y

Jump the Fence or Walk Around From Jump the Fence or Walk Around, 1 year ago, 0 comments Comment

Reginald Braithwaite says he’d love to hear stories about how programmers learned concepts from one language that made them better in another. This pretty neatly coincides with a post I’ve been meaning to make for months, so I might as well just get on with it and write something (because as CHart reminded me, I [...]

Arguments You’ll Almost Never Hear

Jump the Fence or Walk Around From Jump the Fence or Walk Around, 1 year ago, 0 comments Comment

Here’s a bit of a cheeky question… You know all those "conversations" us nerds have about scalability and performance where we endlessly debate about where to put business logic and whether scaling the database is easier than scaling the application servers? Well, how come we never end up talking about how to make arguably the most [...]

Obscuring HTTP

Ayende has tried to explain why he doesn’t like ASP.NET Webforms many times, but based on the comments that pop up on his posts I’m not sure if he’s successfully getting his point across. I’ll try to help him out in this instance, as I think the same way about not just Webforms, but most [...]

Revelation

Shit. And here I thought I was a Mac guy because I was simply a chump for superficial special effects and had a hate on for virii. Turns out I’m actually just sexy, charming and funny. Too bad I got married before I figured this out.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but my blog was down for almost 24 hours after an utterly botched “urgent maintenance upgrade” by WebHost4Life. Now I’ve been with them for around 3-4 years with only a few outages, but this one was just utterly rad. I put in a help desk ticket this morning at about eight [...]

Persistence Ignorance

Jump the Fence or Walk Around From Jump the Fence or Walk Around, 1 year ago, 0 comments Comment

People are talking about Microsoft’s Entity framework and how it does not currently allow persistence ignorant domain objects. I’ve been torn about this issue for a while now. On the one hand, having an O/R mapper that is persistent ignorant essentially means that it has to support XML mapping files. The downside to this approach is [...]

For Posterity’s Sake

It’s March 10th, and I just sat outside in a t-shirt, without socks, drinking a Newcastle Ale (in a delightfully diminutive stubby bottle) for about an hour. WX says it’s only 12 degrees centigrade, but I don’t believe it. God, I can’t wait for summer.
