Life of a Developer

Well, I couldn't wait for a QOTD to pop up about them =)

1. Read 24 Books  (2 a month)
2. Blog 3 times per week (In-depth blogs with knowledge transfer not a "I ATE PIZZA TODAY!" blog)
3. Lose 15lbs
4. Learn a new language (Speaking not coding, I code in enough languages! ;))
5. No fastfood (McD,BK,Wendys, etc.)   Sitdowns will be allowed (Applebees, Outback, Cafe Rio)
6. Don't use credit cards so much =)

I wrote a bunch of blogs about .NET debugging and upgrading to the latest MS AJAX over at http://blog.sontek.net

Just like in real life, I like to move a lot!  The sontek blog is now located at http://blog.sontek.net

This page shows a registry fix on turning your capslock key into a 3 CTRL key =)

IPrincipal objects are attached to threads (via Thread.CurrentPrincipal) and threads can change app domains, in particular from the worker app domain to the default app domain. As a result Principal objects must be able to cross app domains, and this means two things:
1) the principal type must be loadable in the default app domain (and that doesn't happen for 'bin' assemblies)
2) the principal must be either serializable or marshallable across app domains

What makes it difficult is that times when threads cross app domains are not always predictable.

So the solution is to load the Principal object into the GAC.

Thanks to Dmitry development manager for ASP.net and IIS for clearing this up! Read his blog Here

So, While I was at the Ubuntu user group meeting I was going to blog about it and let everyone know some of the nice details Herlo (Jake from http://www.gurulabs.com) was talking about on DNS but when I hit compose an advertisement with a chick in a bikini popped up and I instantly closed the box!  I'm not sure what kind of community vox is trying to develop here but i'm hoping its not the kind that are drawn to these types of ads and I'm hoping vox will kindly remove them since I was sitting in a public library where kids of all ages are walking around and I don't think they should be exposed to the images that vox is forcing me upon me.  

I didn't think of screenshotting the bikini one but since i've been home I've gotten these 3:

Those are not the type of images I want people to see on my laptop while I'm trying to work or blog!

So, I have been out of the open source loop since I became a .NET software developer and finding the large amount of Linux users in Utah my interest has struck up again (not to mention Novell is here too! Go mono!).  So I've decided to get back into things, I went to the Ubuntu user group meeting and the LUG is in 2 weeks so i'm gona go to that.  But since I'm still going to be working as a .NET guy for the time being (I'm thinking of looking for a Ruby/Python job) I've setup my desktop computer at work and my desktop computer at home with RDP and Visual studio 2005 so I can manage to work without having to switch!

We'll see how well it works out, I did leave a 20gb partition just incase I need windows ;)

If you could only save one thing in a house fire (thing, not person), what would it be and why?
