« 26 June 2008 | 11:12 | IT & Software | No Comments »

All i can start with at this stage is wow…..
I went through by feeds this morning and innocently picked up an article introducing mocking using Moq. I’ve read a little about it, followed the fact that it’s gathered quite a following, and figured it best I give it a spin to see for myself.
And then [...]



Why I’m a better software developer than you

« 18 June 2008 | 14:46 | IT & Software | No Comments »

I found this article explaining the differences between a good programmer and an average one
I’m pleased that i can read that list and honestly say I am/do most of those things. Possibly the notable exception is reading books. I agree with one of the commenters in that books are virtually outdated from the moment they’re [...]



Switching an IIS website home directory from the command line

The title says it all.
The problem was simple - we have a legacy .NET 1.1 website project, and have several branches for each environment it’s currently running in. In order to test bug fixes for a branched version, I always find myself needing to go into IIS management console and switch the website to [...]

I’ve had to do this so many times in the past, i ended up creating my own instructions and gotchas
Today I stumbled across an article on the MSDN explaining step-by-step how to convert a website project to a web-application project and am keeping record of it….One thing i didn’t know was that you can run [...]



Mounting NAS drive under Ubuntu

I’ve been battling this one for a long time….Finally got it solved…..(sort of)……
Last year, I bought a cheap $70 NAS external drive case to use as network storage…The poor man’s SAN, if you will.
Since I bought it, however, i have been unable to mount the drive under the linux console so that i can access [...]

Although i’d seen it, and knew of it, i never bothered reading about it until now.
Very cool. I can see myself using this in a few enumerable cases.



Uninstall IE7 and go back to IE6

« 6 June 2008 | 10:24 | IT & Software | 3 Comments »

Because IE6 still has a 30% market share , it’s important to test your website on IE6.
Sadly, installing IE7 removes any hope of safely being able to do so….There are compatibility issues with apps like IE6Standalone etc which don’t make them 100% reliable. In my case, Windows auto-update was kind enough to upgrade my specific [...]
