Unit Testing

Friday, July 30th, 2004

Okay, i’m going to start to implement Unit Testing into my code for my current project. And while I was looking around for some extra information on unit testing in regards to a database driven app (well, most ASP.NET apps are database driven these days) and found something I think may come in handy, so [...]

A chilly morning…

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

Wow, it was quite cold this morning in Melbourne. 3 degrees celcius when I left home at 7am to head to my morning meeting. And on related news, apparently it got down to about 1 degrees celcius yesterday morning in Perth! Ok, now that’s even colder… I can understand if peoples’ old cars refuse to [...]

Something interesting with msn.com

Monday, July 26th, 2004

Ok, so what is interesting about msn.com? Well, nothing really… It is actually to do with something with the URL: http://rad.msn.com … The page states “This is the default test page for the Advertising Delivery System (ADS) indicating you have successfully pinged an individual IIS Server by IP”. What is it? It is an adserver, [...]

MS IE Team Blog and Blogging…

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

Interesting, just catching up on my unread RSS Feeds in RSS Bandit, and noticed Dave Massy mention that there is a new MS IE Team blog. This is cool, the general public (or rather, the general population of web developers/blog readers) have now got another way to interact with the team of developers at Microsoft [...]

Blog Guilt?

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

Ok, this is a response to Heathers’ blog post in response to her post on blog guilt. So be sure to read that before this post. I’m just posting it here and doing a trackback because it gets off topic a fair bit in places. And is probably too long as a blog comment. It [...]

Power Outage at work.

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

Well, got into work about 10 minutes ago (8:10AM) and was told that there’s no power over here until 9am! There’s not really too much work that I can get done at the moment, well, not on the main part of the project anyway. I’ve only got last week’s version of the project on my [...]

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

At this stage I have two personal projects planned… As you can see in the post Title. The first one which I just thought up over the weekend is all about simplifying JavaScript. There is a tonne and more JavaScript functions and scripts, if pulled together would make life a lot better for many web [...]

A bit of housekeeping…

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

Well, since this blog has been down, a few new reads have popped into my RSS Reader… I’ve added Jeff Prosise to the list of reads on my blog, and updated the URL to Cameron Reilly’s blog. I’ll add a few more feeds later tonight. Actually, just before I go just like to say that [...]
