Click Once is not just for IIS

A while back I developed an application that has started to be used by my current company (it's called the "Network Beverage Selector", but I'm sure I'll blog about that at some point).  So they came up with some suggestions on enhancements, being the kind, generous guy I am, I did them. I thought about … Continue reading Click Once is not just for IIS →

Java/Firefox SSL Certs -> Apache -> RTFM!!!

We had a small issue today that's taken the best part of the day to sort out.  The issue was a weird problem where a Java applet worked absolutely fine on one server, but not on the other. The setup was slightly different in the 2 machines, however, as the issue was to do with … Continue reading Java/Firefox SSL Certs -> Apache -> RTFM!!! →

EntityFramework and Postgres (.NET 4.0)

So I've been attempted to get EntityFramework to play nice with Postgres for a site I'm creating. A little history, I created the site initially for myself and a small group to use so I used MVC3, postgres, Mono and other tools that were...

Inline Functions are Great

So, I've been getting to grips with using Lamda functions instead of creating simple methods that only include one line. The main driver behind this is the fact that I'm trying to make my code readable (using StyleCop has helped with this, and I'm sure I'll blog about that too) so I can tell others … Continue reading Inline Functions are Great →

The Lost Art of Corporate Inductions

Once again, I find myself at new employer, this has happened fairly consistently every 2 years for around 6 years.  So I found myself sitting through yet another company "induction" and found myself thinking "they never used to be this boring".
