Well, that time of the year has come and gone again. By that I mean Code mash.
I didn’t get a chance to make it to codemash this year, but waking up to find 76 twitterings on my phone (Over half were most likely Dwitters -Drunken Twittering-) is a clear indication that it was both a fun and exciting time for all who attended.
In other news, apparently my blog posts (the most recent one about the '=>' specifically) was the issue of some conversations at code mash. And in the process I managed to offend a few of my friends. Hence you will notice it's no longer published. I took it down as soon as I found out that it had offended a friend; that’s not something I’d ever intentionally do.
I’m still grappling with the "Do I take out the bits that offended my friend and republish it, damn the common idea of a non offensive/vulgar blog post, don't conform, be my own man" or, do I suck it up, go more vanilla. The post itself has had almost 900 unique web views, and an extra 230 subscriber views, my most popular post yet, I can't imagine all those people were deeply offended by what I had to say. So I guess what it comes down to is, should I conform and not risk offending a contingent of people to entertain another, or should I just say "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!” Honestly, it's a rhetorical question, since I’m going to do whatever in the hell I want anyway, but it does feel good to write it down.
A friend once said that to enjoy blogging you have to do it for yourself and no one else, but since I’m even asking these questions, am I really blogging for myself?
That being said, I have a PG rated Tech in 5 min about extension methods Then I think we’re going to get into exception handling.
Till next time.
