I am trying to schedule speakers for the Knoxville .NET User's Group for 2006. If anyone is interested in speaking over the next couple of months, shoot me an email here. We are still looking for a speaker this month also. It may appear that I am a lazy no-good-for-nothing for waiting until the last second but I have been trying. I may in fact be just that but I am still new at this
I had a bit of trouble figuring this one out. I needed to include a script in a MasterPage dynamically based on the url/path of the current page. Eventually, I found the ClientScriptManager.Registe... method. Here is a short snippet: if (Request.RawUrl.ToLower().I... > 0){ cs.RegisterClientScriptIncl...

A think a lot of the fools buying this bunch of crap are Microsoft haters still lamenting the downfall of Netscape and still wondering why Apple isn't the corporate desktop standard.

I was a bit alarmed by this little jewel from former White House CyberSecurity Advisor Howard Schmidt: Hold Developers Liable for Flaws. However, a bit later, I found this: Hold Developers Accountable, Not Liable. What a schmuck! There is no way I would ever agree to be held liable unless I owned the project, the budget, and could control all inputs and outputs. I have to wonder if the backreeling was from Schmidt, a known idiot, or from ZDNet. If from Schmidt, well, that doesn't say much about his...
I was chatting with former NTeam-er Jonas Antonsson a few weeks ago and the topic of why finding developers for open source projects is so difficult. I guess finding those interested is relatively simple but actually getting contributions is the difficult part. Of the 50 that signed up for NTeam, only eight that I can count have contributed. This struck me as very strange and I mentioned it to Jonas and his response was that most developers are intimidated by the complexities of open source projects....
