- @lynne_e You may like it. But I found it to be ridiculously boring, and so did Kelly. It's odd because I normally like Tim Burton films. in reply to lynne_e #
- Just watched – and hated – Alice in Wonderland in glorious 2D. I want my money back. What a pile of crap. Tim Burton should be ashamed. #
- Excellent jQuery plugins – http://speckyboy.com/2010/03/01/25-amazing-and-fresh-jquery-plugins/ #
- Nooooooooooooo! http://bit.ly/NoMorePoliceAcademy #
- Reinstalled Windows 7. I now have another 30 days to buy a key.
On the minus side, the browser choice came up, UNDER the IE8 install.
# - @jbolster Finally found that article! http://dotnetperls.com/cache-settings-aspnet #
- @oliverpicton http://bit.ly/TinyIoC #
- I might create an application which measures how long your (expired) Win 7 trial has been up, and warn you when you get close to two hours. #
- Finding it very hard to motivate myself to blog about my work on application config sharing. It's a boring topic to be honest!
# - @dmcnally So, you can create an instance of nil?! in reply to dmcnally #
- Looking forward to creating strongly-typed ViewData, and then no more magic strings! #
- @dmcnally lol! Ouch! in reply to dmcnally #
- @dmcnally Ah right. So how do you check for null in rails?! in reply to dmcnally #
- Given that I don't rate Avant, Flock, Green, K-meleon, Maxthon, Sleipnir or Slim, I couldn't care if their browser choice isn't visible. #
- It's a good day for the deaf and hard of hearing folks (me!) as Google announces that Youtube will have CC on all its videos! #
- So now we can't press F1 when using Windows XP and IE. You've just got to laugh at Microsoft for that! #
- @dmcnally No. It only covers empty and whitespace, not nulls. So it isn't the same as IsNullOrEmpty(). in reply to dmcnally #
- @DerrenBrown @DaraObriain in reply to DerrenBrown #
- @cookeharry
in reply to cookeharry # - It seems that .NET 4 has implemented string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(). Bout time. Now they need the opposite, string.HasValue()
# - I abso-frigging-lutely hate the ASP.NET Forums. They're such a pain in the arse. Why can't they just use the same sort of editor as SO?! #
- Looking for a nice, simple UI for aspnet_compiler. Has anyone built/seen one? #aspnet #
- Wrote a tiny PermanentRedirect which utilises #T4MVC Very nice.
# - I personally don't believe in the method of "progressive enhancement" in web development. I much prefer "graceful degradation" -the opposite #
- I don't like WebKit's way of copying text in tables that is structured correctly (tfoot above tbody). #
- Fresh meat on Stack Overflow asking the same questions that have been asked 3 or 4 times already. It's like a cycle of life/geeks. #
- "If you have to make the same change in twenty different places, doesn't that tell you that something smells?!" #
- Working from home. The afternoon sun is warmly toasting my feet and everything is very quiet. Bliss! #
- I very nearly messed something up, but the cached copy of a Google's search result saved me.
# - Webpage Screenshot – a nice simple screengrab extension for Chrome! I'm very happy with it! http://bit.ly/clwXmR #
- @codinghorror Also ridiculously expensive! in reply to codinghorror #
- @scottgu If they're in the vicinity of York/Yorkshire, then I'd love to come along!
in reply to scottgu # - @cookeharry Thanks! If you let me know how much it is, I'll give you the money on Friday. Did think about the MSDN pack but it won't be mine in reply to cookeharry #
- Talking heads on the TV say that people will choose IE8 because they recognise the 'e'. Most people would say that they use 'Google'. #
- Holy crap, Rhona Mitra is hot! #
- If anyone knows where I can get a cheap (legal!) copy of Windows 7, please let me know. Microsoft don't do the same upgrade deal as Apple… #
- Don't know why I'm uninstalling stuff on my machine when I'm just going to do a wipe this weekend. Need to buy #Windows7 first though. #
- @Danatkinson Being intimidated by dangly awesomeness is surely the job for the ladies department?!
in reply to Danatkinson # - @expertsexchange has failed to escape the curse of Expert Sex Change on Twitter. #
- @richardstelmach @SarahSuperbreak And we won the gold last time round.
