Until Microsoft releases all of its source code they have to go sit in the WikiCorner
Rob Chartier ~ Contemplation... By Robert Chartier on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 7:51:54 PM

I really do not understand the point of view of Wikipedia, nor the very biased author of this silly little article: "Microsoft in hot water over Wikipedia edits"


Let me summarize what I conclude after reading it:

1. Microsoft, alone, is not allowed to have anyone review or manage content on WikiPedia.  Even if this person is an independant expert on the subject.  Paid, or unpaid.

2. IBM is allowed to have content updated as they please, and pay people to do it, seemingly because they support Open Source software in a larger fashion than MSFT. So I guess that just makes them better?

3. Microsoft's only course of action in order to have any sort of content on Wikipedia updated is to create a slew of whitepapers which address each issue and to link into the Wikipedia and ho ...

Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch back together?!?!?
Coding From An Igloo By spthomas on 1/24/2007 10:48 AM

So, as you may or may not know, a little band called 'Rage Against The Machine' has decided to get back together for a certain concert, one Coachella 2007.  Needless to say this has been the rage (no pun) across a lot of forums here on the interweb, one specially took it upon themselves to "adjust" the poster and come up with their own concert, one that features a few other bands that are getting back together......

 


The LCD Phidget.
Rob Chartier ~ Contemplation... By Robert Chartier on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:55:21 AM

A few months ago I purchased some of the super cool products listed on the Phidets.com site, specifically I picked up the RFID kit and the blue LCD display. These things are extremely simple to work with, here is some sample code.


All it does is creates a timer which automatically will update the two lines on the LCD screen with the current time, weather conditions and if Winamp is available it will attempt to grab the current song title.

Single Code Base : Deploy on the Web and in Windows...
Rob Chartier ~ Contemplation... By Robert Chartier on Monday, January 22, 2007 6:41:48 PM

As you can tell I really love this VisualWebGui stuff from Guy PeledTake a look at the latest ability, its called "Dual Mode". Essentially you build your web site using their technology and you deploy to the Web normally, or deploy as a complete Windows Forms application!  Of course you will have to make special consideration for your business objects and more importantly your data source but its just damn cool.

I know I have been waiting for something like this for many, many years now.

Quickly everyone, the action figures are back!
IBlogger<MuteThis>.Blog(); By MuteThis on 1/19/2007 9:34 AM

Nope, you didn't guess it...  Microsoft has previously released four limited-edition developer action figures, the "Source Fource".  In order to receive one of these highly coveted action figures, you must be one of the first five thousand people to attend two live web casts in a given month.  I have all of the original four.  It looks like Microsoft snuck three more into play without my noticing (that didn't take much effort).

The first of the new action figures is "ISV Super Gal" who has been placed into eligibility for two months, December 06 and January 07.  I doubt I'll be getting her, but hopefully I'll be able to get the other two.  Yes, I'm collecting dolls0...  Wait, theses are action figures :)

Battle of the office signatures
IBlogger<MuteThis>.Blog(); By MuteThis on 1/17/2007 10:53 AM

Yesterday I received an email from a colleague with a rather long signature.  This prompted me to create my own signature, a better and longer signature!
Here it is :-)

Simple Javascript Validation
Bean Labs Programming (C#/.Net/etc) By frijoles on 1/15/2007
I know, I know. There's hundreds, probably thousands, of articles about javascript validation. I thought I'd throw this one out there also. It allows the programmer to set up an input button to call a validation function, which then checks for a 'required' attribute on each element on the page.
