Crappy Apps
10 October 2007Why is it that so many crappy apps are out there in the wild?
Is it because of the visual tools available in the .Net realm that generate so much crap that the average programmer just does not have time to clean it up? Or are the developers just too lazy to clean up the […]
Chevy Vega vs. TestDriven.Net
7 June 2007My Dad originally made a living as an auto machinic and working on cars is still his favorite pass time. Besides working on cars my Dad liked to swap cars. Swap cars, car parts, you name it he would swap it. The benefit of that to me was that I was exposed […]
Comments for a Code Review
14 December 2006
Ok, what kind of ass-hat idiotic thing is this?
Source: [GIT PATCH] more Driver core patches for 2.6.19
That has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time. Well, at least in the last 24 hrs.
What’s in a Name?
8 November 2006I have had the joy of reviewing other peoples code lately and I must say that for the most part there is a total lack of attention to detail. Extensive use of copy paste coding, but the one thing that bugs me the most is the naming convention used.
Can you believe that there are still […]
Mad World
5 November 2006I keep seeing the commercial for Gears of War, I don’t know anything about the game but the background music is one that I know and like. It is called “Mad World” and I recognize it from the movie Donny Darko. Part of it goes like this:

Say What?
1 November 2006There are a lot more airplanes at the bottom of the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.
What does that mean? Who knows but it sounds good.
Cisco VPN Sucks
30 September 2006I have to use the Cisco VPN Client at work and man when it breaks it breaks good! For some reason it has decided to stop working which means I can’t work at home. Now I have to spend my Saterday morning in the office. CRAP!
I’ve been looking for an alternative but can’t seem to […]
Outlook Rules + Blackberry == SUCKS
7 September 2006I just got a Blackberry for work and am having a hard time dealing with it. I didn’t ask for it but if I have to use it I will.
The real problem I am having is the clash of Outlook rules and my use of folders to organize email’s. Because the email’s I get […]
Hanselminutes - Not Franklinminutes
28 August 2006I like listening to Scott Hanselmin on Hanselminutes. I first noticed Scott while listening to .Net Rocks, the Podcast that was around before the term Podcast. Scott always knows all the cool tools, the most informative websites and alternative ways (read: Not .NET) ways of doing things. His show is great.
But […]
Programming with Interfaces
21 August 2006Today I was told that:
In general, interfaces should be used sparingly as they add unneeded complexity when applied to a simple set of objects.
I don’t get it, I thought interfaces were a Good Thing. I must be missing something….
