• MIA

  I've been busy retooling my newest project and haven't gotten any work done on the mousetraps. Hopefully this week will be more forgiving that last.

• Macromedia Flash ASP.NET Server Control

  One of the first server controls I ever wrote was a control that rendered the object/embed html for a Macromedia Flash 4 or 5 ActiveX control. I lost the code a while back and made a couple of unsuccessfull attempts at rewring the control - not for lack Read More... Posted Saturday, February 21, 2004 2:05 AM by pmurphy | 1 Comments

• Indigo and Aspects

  Last week when I had a conversation about caching with Rob Howard I asked him some questions about building aspect oriented solutions with the Remoting subsystem that he didn’t want to answer. He offered to kick the questions over to someone on Read More... Posted Tuesday, February 17, 2004 5:40 PM by pmurphy | 1 Comments

• netFx 64 Part II

  This is a b**ch. An x64 (AMD 64) version of the framework is vaporware for the time being. It's coming; but apparently it's not something that is public or available under NDA. I've heard through the AMD 64 community that the release version of XP Extended Read More... Posted Tuesday, February 17, 2004 2:29 PM by pmurphy | 0 Comments

• Caching Revisited

  I haven't forgotten about the cache project. I have decided to wait until after DevDays to release the code. There is a reason for this but I can't explain until then. If you want the 1.1 version of the HttpDataCacheAspect reply to this post or shoot Read More... Posted Sunday, February 15, 2004 10:45 PM by pmurphy | 0 Comments

• netFx x64

  I just finished installing the 64bit version of Windows XP. I have had an AMD 64 CPU since December but for the lack of drivers I have continued to use 32bit OS and tools. Now that a full set of drivers exists I've put the 64bit OS onto my machine. It's Read More... Posted Friday, February 13, 2004 2:49 PM by pmurphy | 0 Comments

• HttpRuntime.Cache

  I was just talking to RobH as he informed me that currently you can use HttpRuntime.Cache to get a caching object anywhere you want (ASP.NET Context not required). For that reason I am rethinking this whole thing and it's going to be more that a day or Read More... Posted Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:28 PM by pmurphy | 1 Comments

• Aspects Explained

  There was recently a little discussion in a private forum I am in about caching. It made me dig out some old code from a couple of years ago and got me thinking again about the whole Lemonade Mousetrap thing. Cache is one of those things that sucks. In Read More...

• Best Practices && aspDotNet Resource Kit

  It shocks me how simple things are constantly ignored. Teams inside of Microsoft routinely publish “Best Practices” and other teams inside of Microsoft routinely ignore the best practices. The most recent case of this comes with the publication Read More... Posted Tuesday, February 10, 2004 7:58 AM by pmurphy | 0 Comments

• What's wrong with Windows Services?

  I’ve been programming Windows Services since I got my hands on beta 1 of dotNet. As an ASP/VB programmer who longed to write ‘real code’ but didn’t have the desire to learn C++ I dove in head first because it seemed like a level Read More...

• Better Lemonade Mousetraps?

  About this time last year I was riding in the car and the phrase popped into my head, ‘better lemonade mousetraps’. The phrase is completely absurd and it sounds stupid, but it made me laugh. At the time I was at the time pondering all the Read More... Posted Thursday, February 05, 2004 3:27 PM by pmurphy | 11 Comments
