  • YARS – Yet Another Rain Storm

    Holy cow. It’s raining again. From NBC4: Los Angeles likely will inch farther up in the record books by the time a new storm — which reached the region Tuesday afternoon — moves out of the area. Downtown Los Angeles already has gotten 34.81 inches of rain since July 1, making this the third wettest…

  • Death of The DJ

    For as long as I can remember, I never really liked radio. I would listen to it solely because it was there, not because it was good. It became cliche to say “radio sucks” and then get in your car and tune it in. A few years ago, my radio broke in my car, and…

  • Pubic and Privates Methods

    Does anyone else out here misstype the keywords public and private as pubic and privates? Truthfully, I never type privates, but I caught myself typing pubic today and reignited my 7th grade childish humor. Any other “bad” typo’s people know about that can be made in .NET?

  • GeoURL – Find Blogs Near You

    Just for fun, I added the GeoURL button on the bottom right nav. Once you set your site up with them, you can find nearby blogs to your real location.

  • Enterprise Library Quick Start

    Ok, I have finally got *most* of the Enterprise Library working. I thought it was going to be a quick upgrade since I have been using the Data Application and Exception Handling Blocks for several years, but it was a bit of a learning curve. Rather than explain what they are (which is available on…

  • Exception Handling Block Error

    Ran into the error: There were no types found in the assembly 'MyAssembly' that implement or inherit from the base type 'System.Exception'. when trying to add a custom Exception Policy in the new Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block. After finding Jason's Post I saw the relevance to my problem. I copied all my references…

  • Sauce Reader

    I have been looking for a possible replacement for Newsgator because my Outlook is starting to get a bit crowded and will sometimes go into endless restarts. My biggest feature request is the ability to view all the items in one browser interface like Newsgator or Bloglines. I want to be able to have a…

  • Celeb Spottings March 13, 2005

    Walked by Justin Long from the TV show “Ed” and the movie “Dodgeball”, while eating lunch on Larchmont. My sister-in-law Lisa emailed me last night from her crackberry: “[Saw] Katie Holmes at the kcrw sounds eclectic show at universal ampitheater. Boo ya kaw.” Once again I didn’t who either of them were before I IMDB’d…

  • Could not write to output file error

    One of the few remaining issues I continually have is this “Could not write to output file” compile error I get when I switch my configuration types. I think the majority of time it is when I switch from Debug to Release version. I don't always get it, but it happens I would say once…

  • Email From My Wife

      Shoose, honey… If I am going to stumble into the bathroom early in the morning and be awakened to the glorious sights and smells of a quarter pound of pubic hair in the trash can and a toilet full of shit and dirty toilet paper, can you please let me know in advance? I’d…
