dasBlog Migration

I have been considering changing Elegant Code over to dasBlog for some time now.  I would like to thank Aaron Junod for making this decision much easier for me.  He provides the DotText2DasBlog utility that converted all of my posts and comments from .Text.

Community Server Stuff

Community Server has shipped RC for version 1.1.  We are running CS within our Intranet, but I think I’ll wait for the RTM of 1.1 to bother with the upgrade. Also of interest to our installation is the Windows authentication package the Telligent sells.  For $300, why code it? Links CS Window Authentication Module CS […]

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, we took the kids to the Idaho Veterans Cemetery and tried to explain what Memorial Day is all about.  Admittedly, this is a bit much for 5 year olds to get, but I tried simplifying it down a bit.  I ran across 2 plots occupied by men killed in Iraq.  It was […]

The Polymorphic Podcast

It takes a lot of stone to use the term Polymorphic in the title of your podcast.  It kind of gives the pod caster a lot to live up to. This guy pulls it off very well.  Even if you aren’t into pod casting, you should  pull the shows and listen to this show while you […]

YaGooHoogle

This search page that compares the results of Yahoo and Google side-by-side is an interesting way to directly compare the engines. I come up fourth on Yahoo and not in the top 10 of Google.  I am going to have to go with Yahoo on this one.  Apparently there is a NASAR race driver with my […]

SlashDot Review

Hey, I got SlashDotReviewed! Or something like that.  I pulled this morning’s broadcast and was sitting here coding away to it when I heard my name mentioned.  That’s kind of a weird feeling. Apparently I am so attractive as the MSN butterfly that I deserved a track back.  Nice! Andy McCaskey produces the Slash Dot […]
