I was cleaning out some files a while ago and came across notes from a leadership class I took several years back. The notes read: * do the following once a day to reflect on the current status of a project * DO - What have you done/observed so far? STUDY/REFLECT - What did you learn from that event/observation? CONNECT/SYNTHESIZE - How does this connect with what you already know? PLAN - What will you do differently now? Common sense really. And probably the natural way most of us approach continuous...

If that doesn't suit your fancy, Google will keep you busy for a while . Finally, the point But really, the purpose of this post is to...

Syndicating content on the web has never been easier. I would venture to guess that the Blog, in a general sense, has become the most popular way that users push content to the web. And most Blog software supports at least two methods of syndication: RSS and E-mail. Even if the Blog software doesn't there are sites like FeedBurner and FeedBlitz which enable these syndication options to be added or enhanced. So, that's pretty cool. A person can type some text, push a button and boom! It is...

A few months ago I was working on a project that required the creation of full schemas for the configuration files used by Community Server. The end goal of the project was to make it gut-splittingly easy to edit any of the settings in these configuration files. Paying special attention to the difficulty of this in hosted scenarios. Now, I guess you could say that the project is ongoing, but in reality I haven't touched it for at least two months. If I sensed that there was a big demand for such...

Interesting stats from Markus on his Plentyoffish site. Plentyoffish is run off of one web server, at peak the site gets over 2 million pageviews per hour and has close to 50,000 active sessions. Great use case for ASP.net and IIS.

In Simplifying the Sign In Experience with AJAX , I brainstormed about how an AJAX Login control could improve a user's web application sign in experience. The second item on the list of desired attributes for such a control was Secure Without SSL . This post dives into the details of that attribute and...

If you are looking for a better way to manage your clipboard in Visual Studio 2005, check out the Clipboard Manager from csharper.net. I needed to do some extensive refactoring where there were at least four different strings that I wanted easy access to throughout the process. This tool made it a breeze... thanks Bobby .

Scott Watermasysk's post on Bluedot was the first I had heard of the service. And, as with most services that show potential, I quickly signed up to give it a try. However, unlike other services I've signed up for, a week later I am still actively using Bluedot. What has made me such a happy customer? Well, I've found that Bluedot is a service that actually saves time and simplifies my web experience. RSS feeds are great but I often find them to be information overload. With Bluedot, you can see...

[ Update: March 20, 2007 ] Before putting the finishing touches on this AJAX Login System / Control, I've decided to see just how secure it is by issuing a challenge . See if you can crack it... [ Update: February 26, 2007 ] For source code and an updated demo of the AJAX Login System described here, see - Compatibility with ASP.NET . Let’s be honest, the sign in / login process that most web applications use is not extremely complex. Yet, most people would agree that it is more complex than...

I ran across the Microsoft.com Design pages via Shawn Burke’s blog . He has a post gloating the use of his teams’ most excellent ASP.net AJAX Control Toolkit on the site (If you haven’t given the toolkit a spin, you definitely should!). When I reached the toolbox section of the design site, I was a bit surprised. It presents tools traditionally thought of as development centric, ASP.net and ASP.net AJAX , as design tools *. An interesting perspective indeed. *Side note: Why doesn’t the URL http:...

Seriously, no more excuses Bloggers. You’ve been using e-mail for many years. Now you can use the same tool to Blog. Although I had a similar post in early December last year, blogging via e-mail has now changed. Enter Blogmailr . Previously, you may have been able to Blog via e-mail only if your blogging software supported it and you knew how to set it up. With Blogmailr , this becomes quite simple; very little setup and blogging software independent. Blogging via e-mail has truly arrived...

Comments seem to be one of the primary ways that a community forms. A bunch of people read a piece of content, a few comment, then a few more respond to the comments... and voila , an interesting discussion is born. Why then would one choose to not allow comments to their content? A few observations about the commenting options that a few bloggers have chosen: this, as a follow up to some notes about syndication options . No Comments The question: Allow user comments to my blog posts or not? The...
