| 1. |  | Why Choose Microsoft for your Portal?  - Captured: 14-1-2005 10:51:00
Whether you're a business or technical decision maker, it's important to think about what's important to your organization when making a software decision. For most companies, software is an enabler of business. That is to say, your company is probably not in the business of making/developing software, but rather using software to run your business. Since I'm most familiar with the Portal space, my remarks are specific to Portal software. Nevertheless, many of the same suggestions and concepts a...

| 2. | | Opera on Windows Mobile Experience - Captured: 1-2-2005 21:03:40
I've wanted to try this for some time now, and today I found a minute and installed Opera
7.60 beta 2 on my C500. I must say its faster then IE that came with the device,
and it does have some features I do want (full screen viewing, fast scrolling, a page
load status bar, full HTML rendering of any page). Well
done Opera, I would pay for this!
And I've noted something else when I proceded to the download page: While everyother
phone vendor was listed s...

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 ....

I was surprised a few years back when James, a friend of mine, introduced me to what looked like "Spam sushi" - nori seaweed paper rolled around sushi-vinegared rice and a big long hunk of spam. I made the normal protests ("I'm too hip and cool for this Spam business ") and then shut the <blank> up and tried it. It....was.....AMAZING. I couldn't believe it. The official Hawaiian dish is called Spam musubi and you can find a recipe here, but you should really follow the traditional s...

Today the Web Platform and Tools Team is proud to announce two product design changes made directly in response and in conjunction with community feedback. The changes, detailed below are focused around two key areas. First, in September, we announced changes to the special private ASP.NET 2.0 directory naming. Based on feedback, we are revising these names. Second, we are making changes to the compilation model in order to enable ASP.NET 1.x like behavior where the .asp...

I’ve hashed and rehashed this topic
numerous times. In particular, read this and this.
But the debate rages on, paralyzing otherwise perfectly normal development teams in
a frenzy of analysis paralysis over something that is basically not all that critical
in a good architecture.
I mean really. If you do a decent
job of architecting, it really doesn’t matter a whole hell of a lot which RPC protocol
you use, because you can alwa...

OK, so Shawn has some good
points about the use
of a DataSet for the purpose of establishing a formal contract for your web service
messages. This is in response to my previous
entry about not using
DataSets across web services.
The really
big distinction between using web services for SO vs n-tier remains.
If you are doing SO, you need to
clearly define your message schema, and that schema m...

I
never really got into the whole conspiracy theory thing. For
instance, I’ve never seen even a single full episode of The X-Files. For
one thing, I already had enough T.V. to watch, for another, David Duchovney (or however
you spell it) always seemed like kind of a dick. And
I found it annoying how every other woman on the planet seemed to think he was hot,
when I looked and looked, and just saw a scrawny, too-full-of...

OK, so here's what I'm thinking. LLBLGen is a nice little tool for generating a nifty little data access layer for you. It takes care of your stored procedures, generates your classes, is horribly complicated to manage, and work with, not to mention the billions of useless little stored procedures that you never use that clutter up your database.
My goal for creating a next generation DAL, would be to create your stored procedures dynamically, on the fly, as needed. Not quite ...

Met berichten over nieuwe diensten van Google, maar deze wil ik er toch nog even uitlichten. Google maps is namelijk een behoorlijk briljante tool om je weg te vinden, een wifi spot te vinden of gewoon bedrijven te vinden. En dat allemaal op een zeer interactieve kaart van (nu alleen nog) Amerika maar ik neem aan dat het ook wel naar Europa wordt doorgetrokken. Ik ben altijd een groot fan geweest van map24 maar als deze kaart straks voor Europa net zo soepeltjes werkt als de beta voor Ameri...

Het valt bijna niet op... maar funda heeft wel degelijk de site onder handen genomen. Voornamelijk de uilijning is een stuk strakker dan voorheen. Ik heb nog geen tijd gehad om te ontdekken of er ook nieuwe functionaliteiten in zitten, maar ik hoop dat er een aantal handigheidjes van Funda in business zijn overgenomen.

Afgelopen TV seizoen is ook in Nederland The Apprentice uitgezonden, het TV programma waar miljardair Donald Trump op zoek gaat naar een nieuwe medewerker. Via verschillende (gesponsorde) opdrachten en een afvalsysteem komt na 16 weken de winnaar uit de bus. In de US is sinds 3 weken de nieuwe serie gestart. Ik zie het programma graag. Met name om de achtergrond van de opdrachten, die veelal marketing- en communicatiegerelateerd zijn. De laatste aflevering geeft de teams de mogelijkheid om ...

Zojuist is de nieuwe Nederlandse zoekdienst Feeder.nl live gegaan. Deze opstartende zoekmachine zoekt in RSS-feeds en is enigszins te vergelijken met de amerikaanse broer Feedster.com. Je kunt zoeken op trefwoord naar berichten, maar ook naar titels van online uitgaven. Je kunt direct doorklikken naar het bericht of de feed bekijken en in je feedreader plaatsen. De minimale Google-esque interface biedt naast het zoeken nog de mogelijkheid om het nieuwsthema van de dag als feed te bekijken. Vanda...
