I know many have been wondering who is the best girlfriend in the world. Well I am here to tell you that the best girlfriend in the world is Melanie Anne Davis. There is no other that is as great as she is. Of course this is my opinion and you are welcome to disagree. But you will be wrong if you disagree because Melanie is the best hands down!
I am testing a new feature of Blogger.com, RSS feeds. Now others can retrieve headlines from my latest postings. Look for the XML icon on this page to access the RSS feed.
Take the F train to West 4th and you will be moments away from my blogger. I have joined a group of other blogging New Yorkers.
I am once again trying Pro Blogger’s e-mail feature. Blogger.com is a nice service but I am starting to question the quality of selected Pro features.
Sometimes I think I live on one of the coolest streets in Manhattan. It is definitely one of the more unique Manhattan streets in that the street is only a block long and it is hidden away between Bleecker and West 4th, 6th and 7th Avenues. But one of the things that make it a cool street is all the recent filming activity.
Again this morning there was a film crew on-site a couple of doors over from my apartment preparing for a morning of shooting. Last week a film instructor brought a group of students to Jones Street to talk about on-site filming. And over the last few months there have been other film crews taking over the street.
So even with all the recent drug activity at one end of my street, I still sometimes think I live on one of the coolest streets in Manhattan.
“That’s a wrap!” Today’s film shoot was the most exciting I have seen on my lovely little street. It was an all day shoot and there were a handful of stars walking around. The only one I know by name is Denis Leary who always seemed to have a cigarette in his hand. Now that the street fun is over, I think I will spend a little time snowboarding time on the XBox.
Web server controls technology in ASP.NET is a great advancement for web application developers. However, it is not the only way and NOT always the right way to implement web page features. There is still a need for client-side scripting and HTML controls. Not every page needs to perform a post back and a form that runs at server is not always needed.
It seems that some ASP.NET developers have forgotten some of the lessons learned with ASP and how to implement user friendly web pages. It seems some of these developers have forgotten that your can embedded script within the HTML inside the ASPX file. Or that client-side scripting can enhance the user experience.
Web server controls are great, useful, and simplify web application development. But it is not the only set of tools available to the developer. ASP.NET developers need to remember this.
Found interesting community web site called Advogato, the free software developer’s advocate. The goal of the site is to serve as a community resource for free software developers around the world, as well as a research testbed for work on group trust metrics. The site provides weblogs for site members, which I found most interesting and has introduced me to more like minded individuals.
It’s funny how easy it is to forget things you have worked on in the past. A few months ago I started work on an idea for a presentation framework for ASP.NET. I had forgotten about it until a friend reminded me of it earlier today.
I only spent a few hours on it but I remember the work being fun. It uses an Http module to simulate web page inheritance for the purpose of controlling a site’s look and feel from a centralize location. Take a look, download the source, and let me know what you think.
Woo-hoo! I passed the Microsoft Beta Exam 71-316: Developing and Implementing Windows-based Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Say that three times fast.
