TRIAD Portal
There is no better time to start a new blog than the start of a new year. My interest in .NET has been waning for a while now. I know GWB is a technology community, not just a .NET community but I think it best to have my own site and the like. I want to thank Jeff Julian and John Alexander for the outstanding community and allowing me to set up shop here. Keep in touch. Here is my new blog
I kept reading about the difficulties of adding a second layer of tabs for IBuySpy but it really isn't that difficult. Here is the overview: Add a ParentId field to tabs. Set all top level tabs' ParentId to 0. Set all child tabs to the corresponding TabId of it's parent. Load the tabs with the ParentId=0 into one datatable.

I have six Gmail invitations up for grabs but they aren't free. I want to hear stories of an IBuySpy/DotNetNuke/Rainbow/etc implementation you have done in a real world environment. I am even more interested in portals you have written to replace the previously mentioned apps and the approach you used. I will give the invites to the best stories. Email them to me or post them here. Sorry, all the Gmail invites are gone. Thanks for the stories...
I generally dislike weblog introductions so I won't make you suffer through this one. I think that blogs should not be personal but informative. I am just a geek, though, so who knows. If I post personal stuff, it will definitely be in a different category. With that said, I am currently involved with two interesting products. The first is an IBuySpy clone that extends the object model to the point that it actually useful in nearly every scenario. Unfortuantely, I don't have a demo up to this point....
