When you're building a new site and you start coming across code that's breaks something somewhere else, you then realize, you've just entered something I call - the Funnel Effect. The funnel effect is when you begin a project without any limitations to complete the project, then after a while while building the project, new code is breaking other parts of the project - thus, you've just entered the funnel effect. Of course in .NET, you have many different options or "workarounds" you can create and use. Well, this morning I discovered one. The lame use of Page.Databind(). NEVER forget the if (!Page.IsPostback). You'll spend HOURS of "What the hell is going on?" with the infinite flow of "the yellow page of death" compile errors or notice there are no postbacks or paging. I don't know if .NET is literally a major waste of my time or if I'm a complete idiot (most likely, I'm a complete idiot). Sometimes the most simple, most common sensual things if life are the most important ones and reminds you not to take things for granted.
Just a side thought. My girlfriend is big, fat, and ugly. Ugly enough to be a Victoria's Secret model with a big heart and nothing but phat love... :)
