So I don't normally inflict more than one blog post on you guys per week, but I feel I owe it to the greater Gotdotnet community to talk more about the site's ups and downs this week.
I joke around with people with dark humor - especially the old Gotdotnet team who know the site well - about how sneaky the site is. If there's a server or application problem, it usually shows up ....

On the PeerCast website there is an FAQ in which
they recommend turning off the Windows XP Firewall:
I got everything right with my broadcast, but no matter what I do, my stream
can't get through. Should I get lost?
You are probably behind a firewall, if it is a personal firewall installed
on your local PC, try turning it off. (Windows XP Pro for example..)
No wonder open-source is “more secure”, when they are actively runnin...

| 4. | | 20 Year Usenet Timeline - Captured: 10-1-2005 16:45:59
Google has released a 20
year timeline of usenet newsgroup history, highlighting notable events along the
way.
I find it very interesting to see the history of the “world's largest BBS“.
Personally I got involved in usenet in 1989 or 1990. I was working for a bio-medical
manufacturing company, and managed to convince a local defense contractor to allow
us to tap a usenet feed off them. The feed came through our 1200 baud modem, with
us dialing...

| 7. | | Programming languages with .NET implementations - Captured: 16-10-2004 21:41:00
Yesterday, an inquiry came up internally over e-mail about whether a .NET implementation of the PL/I language existed. This caught my eye because PL/I was the first language that I encountered on a mainframe (at the University of Toronto, from whom I have a piece of paper ascribing that my "higher learning" took place there - occasionally, possibly, somewhat). I wasn't particularly fond of PL/I but it was my first mainframe language. Actually, to be entirely accurate, it was really SP/k - a ser...

I kept getting this error tonight when attempting to use the SQL Send Adapter. This was the first time I've attempted to use it, and I thought I might configured something wrong. I spent about an hour reviewing my .odx, schemas, multi-part messages and the solicit-response port that are used in/from the orchestration.
What was the issue? I never restarted my host instance so a previous version of the orchestration assembly was loaded :(  How long have I been working with BizTalk 200...

BizTalk Environment Variable and Some Uses
The BT2004 installs an environment variable on every box on which it is installed. It is installed so that it can be used throughout the BizTalk server.
So why should you possibly care about this environment var?
Well we all have our own reasons for stuff. I care because it often happens that the system admins do not setup there boxes like me. I am comfortable enough in my engineering ability to be comfortable wit...

In Part 1 it was suggested to use only interfaces to program against your remoted object. Another consideration for enforcing the correct usage of your remote object is to limit access to the implementation except through the interface that you defined for it. You can do this by marking the implementation internal so that it is cannot be constructed directly except within the same assembly. Consider the following changed code from Part 1: Server code:

Well another Saturday evening in Colombo. We started off by calling in at the Mango Tree. I shouldn't be suprised. The web link we had said it opened at 18:30. We got a Bajaj from our apartment and arrived at 18:40. It was not open. This is Sri Lanka. Time has no meaning. Millenium Park, the local bowling alley opens at 10:30 on a Sunday morning according to the sign in the window. Arse. It opens any time between 10:30 (allegedly) and 12:00. Some other time I'll winge on about the complete inept...

increased the number dead in their country alone to over 160,000, which brings the
total amount dead so far from the Tsunami to over 220,000. The
devastation is unimaginable. That is why Julia
