You spam bots really have to try harder

Can’t believe the number of spam bots trying to post on here. Like no one would notice?

What? Where? The iPad and Linq

“Where have you been”, you would be asking yourself if anyone read this blog. Been busy at work getting paid too little for what I do with terrible benefits on top of that. But anyway… I’ve been working with linq quite a bit at work and trying to fit it in where ever I can. [...]

MonoTouch and null

Remember.  Setting variables to null doesn’t necessarily mean null. I had an Enum variable that I would set once.  So I’d declare it: Values MyValue = null; Then, in the natural order of things I’d check to see if it was null and assign it the current value if it was.  But, oddly enough it [...]

MonoTouch and UIImage.FromFile

Make sure you have the images added to the project as “Content” and not as “Embedded Resources”.

Whoa, where am I? And MonoTouch!

I really haven’t been updating this very often have I? Probably because I spend so much time fighting with IE. Just a quick heads up. I’ve talked about Mono in the past. Get your C# app on any platform. Now they’ve released MonoTouch. MonoTouch allows you to develop iphone apps in you favorite .Net/Mono language [...]

Greasemonkey I Am TPain Download Script

I got really tired of how restricted the TPain download options are. They claim you can share your song on Facebook and My Space as well as email it to friends. Well, no. Your file is uploaded to the smule site and facebook page (dunno about myspace). And then you can link from there. I [...]

‘Object Doesn’t Support this Method’ when using jQuery selector in IE

Fought with this one for a while. I was trying to use a selector to grab all check boxes in a given DIV. So I used this: jQuery(‘#ResultsList :checkbox’).each(… So, of course this works in EVERY browser, save for IE. After hit and missing for a while I found that being more specific fixed the [...]

Entity + GAC’d Assembly == Hell?!

Okay, so I’m trying to have the .NET conversion of the site at work use Entity for our Data Access Layer. Seems reasonable. I also figure I’ll represent the different silo’s of data (accounts, catalog, etc) into their own Entity Contexts and in their own Assemblies… all under a namespace.. like DAL.Accounts or DAL.Catalogues. So [...]

iPhone Stencil

Just got back from picking up my iPhone Stencil from Design Commission. The stencil looks nice. Look forward to using it as soon as I get a chance to design one of my ideas. Got to email a company and see if they’d have my app pulled if I did it. We’ll see. Oh, and [...]

A little like smoking

I’ve found myself reaching for my iPhone and my twitter client, which I’ve deleted. It’s like reaching for smokes all the time. Oh well. It’ll pass. Now I need start getting projects in order.
