The (big, fancy, secret) project I work on moved to Production this week. The test cycle was a joke, but half a dozen people inside the company have been using it and I’ve been getting the feedback I need to keep the application free of bugs. So the site has launched and people can log [...]
As some of you know, I code my ASP.NET code-behinds in two languages: C# for hobbies and projects, and VB.NET for work. I never had to instantiate and invoke events manually in C# before, just in VB.NET. But, because of the new stuff I’m doing in Z-Index 255, I had to come up with an implementation for C#. [...]
Okay, so there’s this bug in the AJAX Accordion that prevents a nested button from firing on the first click. That is, you have to click the button twice to cause its event handler to fire.
The bug was apparently added to the AJAX team’s long list of bugs to fix a year ago around the [...]
Remember when I said I was having a hardware issue where occasionally both screens connected to one of my video cards spontaneously stopped responding, thus freezing the system?
Vista is able to recover from this occuring; my guess is they do the obvious thing and cycle the card. Why didn’t they have this kind of error [...]
I just finished playing Stranglehold, and was fairly impressed. Here is my overly-simplified review of the game.
You may have heard of a couple names from this work: John Woo directed the storyline, and Chow Yun Fat plays the game’s star, Inspector Tequila. As the names suggest, the game plays more like a hit action movie.

One of the more prolific trolls on Channel9, under the pseudonym ‘Shooby’, posted some flamebait today. The post was so inarticulate and poorly thought-out that I felt I had to respond.
His initial Post, sans irrelevant cannabis-induced meanderings:
Top 10 things Windows is better at than Linux
10 making you feel like you are a slave to the [...]
Since my project just got pushed to Test and we have to wait for them now, I’ve found myself with some time at work. So the boss’s boss tasked me and J to another project…
The “other project” is an inventory system under a totally different group (Not even in the E-Commerce division). I’m still trying [...]
I struggled with this problem for the better part of a day. The problem is this: I had a Page that needed to push a ZIP file out to a User, programatically, based on information acquired from SQL. Normally this would be fairly simple, but the file isn’t on the web server, and it can’t [...]
Never would have thought I’d end up on Page 1 of a Google search for unused Halo 1 product key… sure enough. Obviously, I would never broadcast a perfectly-good product key across the Internet; I’d keep it for my own selfish gains. Nonetheless, I find it funny. Y’see, I complained about Halo 1, and I [...]
41. Why is Firefox faster on Vista than Internet Explorer?
42. Give me a way to get Windows 2000/XP window behavior and Aero Glass visuals at the same time. Just because I like it to be attractive doesn’t mean I should have to look at the bloat and have bad keyboard navigation too.
43. The Mouse Control [...]
