I’ve been fiddling around with Oxite recently. Although I find it highly interesting and a lot of fun, it being based on ASP.NET MVC and all, it’s not yet mature enough to be an out-of-the-box blogging engine. None of the shortcomings are show-stoppers as such, and it’s not intended to compete with the major actors [...]

In a recent blog post by Brandon LeBlanc, the release of the much awaited Windows 7 RC has been confirmed to April 3oth for MSDN/TechNet subscribers and May 5th for everyone else. As I described in a previous post, I’ve been using the Windows 7 beta since it came out. My favorite operating system before [...]

I’ve had reports of people having trouble using the email form on my blog. I’m not sure why this is, and I’ve not been able to reproduce this problem. It could be a bug in dasBlog, or it could be due to the theme I’m using. Until I can confirm/sort this out, I’ve replaced the [...]

Seldom do I use all-caps for titles. This time, it’s merited. I’ve been circling around ASP.NET MVC like a suspicious lion for months. Since I don’t work much with web projects, this has slipped down on my priority list in favor of technologies more relevant to my current projects. But since it recently hit official [...]

The MPAA recently published a list of legal movie download sites. Eagerly, I rubbed my grubby hands together and rushed off across the internets to see it for myself. Ooh, how I’ve longed to sit in the sofa and view the latest episode of Heroes, Fringe and Terminator, The Sara Connor Chronicles! I immediately fetched [...]

I just installed an update to dasBlog, and I decided against porting the changes I had made to dasBlog. Partly because some of the things I had changed were bug fixes that had been addressed by this update. And while I was at it, I designed a new theme. This theme is designed to be [...]

My fiancée found this hilarious website called this is why you’re fat. They showcase some of the strangest and most disturbing culinary concoctions ever seen, which all have one thing in common. They make you fat. Most of the stuff they display made me cringe, some even made me outright nauseous. It is not for [...]

I came across this video on YouTube, and I have to admit, it really made me smile. A lot. Did you know 3.0 It’s “common knowledge-in-your-face” at its best. Have a look! Technorati Tags: Internet

When I decided to start this blog, I thought to myself that I’d celebrate when and if the blog ever got a total of one thousand hits. This weekend I decided to have a look and see how far toward that goal the blog had gotten. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the blog [...]
