Looks like 411ASP.NET (a mediocre ASP.NET information / links site which used to be really good) has been defaced by a script kiddie...as of 10am (GMT) 22/09/2003
Just discovered a fantastic new Web Stats package SmarterStats...freeware for single site & non-comm looks very nice, much better than Analog (and much easier to set up...) UPDATE: Just installed it, it is written in .NET, simple to configure and has really…
Found here: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/vogels/Papers/CLI-sc2003-final.pdf for those who hate PDF (I am not a fan..) here's clever little Google's HTML copy...the HTML version loses the pretty graphs though...:-(
Though I'd post this...basically it'll take an RSS (or other any XML) feed from an external source and transform it using a specified XSLT script (try this one for a basic RSS transformer... rssTransform.xslt) Usage is pretty simple...for example :…
I have to admit a slight obsession with the concept of Zero Point Energy...now I am the first to admit that what eveidence there has been so far has been mostly hokum but what if...clean, free energy forever that would be pretty useful. For one of the current…

Cool new Blog - http://xplsv.com/blogs/devdiary/ by David Notario
Got a new book "Don't Make Me Think!" by Steve Krug. This is a fantastic book and very short - important, it means I'll actually read it. Along with a series of articles by Joel Spolsky I think that this should be compulsory reading for every web developer.…
Whilst changing the site, I noticed a couple of comments, almost all were realy nice, but one was a simple, dumb insult. To be honest I don't care what you think of this site, nor do I mind if you never come back, with this in mind, I've decided not to include…
Help...I'm in my 4th hour of watching Futurama. They have evilly put a Play All function on the discs...ah well only 7 hours to go...oh and then I have to watch it again with the commentary :-) Best series yet - go, buy it now
So, Microsoft is stopping development of IE on the Mac...http://tantek.com/log/2003/06.html#L20030613t1318. It has also announced that no new versions of IE will exist before longhorn. This is a very odd situation and the implications of this decision are…
Just got home after a very long day, was meant to be a short day but...well... This was the day we planned to deploy the big site we've been developing for the past 8 months to its' final hosting environment. Unfortunately, the environment wasn't configured as…
Reading this post from Stephen Sharrock reminded me about something I often overlook, the phenomenally powerful DHTML behaviours which IE supports using HTC files. The WebService behaviour for instance lets you pull information into your client from aribtrary…
I posted my compression helper class before and realised almost instantly that it suffered from 'legacy lag' - so it'd been changed so much over the months that it was really bad! Anyway, presented below is a modified version of that class (which I've also…
As I've been posting a bit recently,I've been having some problems with my DNS (entirely of my own making I should point out). Anyway, so these DNS problems have led me to do a bit of thinking about this here site - conclusion, I've been very lazy about…
Very simple and based on the one I blogged about previously (well not based on the code but based on the same idea). Anyway, hook this up to a link button, pass in a dataset and it'll provide a downloadable Excel compatible file... public class GetExcel {…
This is one of the major UI problems which is essentially caused by ASP.NET's 'one form' rule, as Darrell points out there's a number of solutions out there but none of them really solve the whole problem (i.e., for all browsers), well now there's a great…
Just been reading this article on Codeproject.com...hmm...I have a few issues with how he does things: DataBinder.Eval - I have what is becoming an obsession about this now - there's just NO NEED for this in most cases, it sucks in terms of performance (you…
I just love this...from Paschal's blog Yankee Go Home!
Well, it's 1am, I have at least 8 hours work ahead of me but my Cerebral Cortex has unfortunately decided to cease functioning. I'm also listening to the .NET Rocks showwhere Chris Sells and Rory Blythinterview Carl Franklin...hmm...Carl si currently going on…
