Out Of Office: Creating Something Beautiful
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/creating-something-beautiful.html
Thursday, December 13, 2007. I was catching up Joel Spolsky's blog. Earlier and he had a series of posts containing the transcription of a talk he gave at Yale ( part 1. The posts are long but I thought they were worth reading. In particular there were two things he touched on that I thought were interesting. You can test a lot of things through automated testing but there's always going to be a need for someone with a sharp eye to go through and make sure everything is ship shape. Number 2 stood out to ...

Out Of Office: September 2007
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2007. The Family and Parenting Reporter for the Seattle Post Intelligencer Paul Nyhan made an interesting post last night about Work-Family Balance: Work-Family Balance is a Joke: Embrace the Chaos. The post talks briefly about efforts towards new family leave law in Washington. And then moves on to an evaluation over whether a happy Work-Family Balance is actually realistic and attainable. He concludes that it isn't and that working parents need to roll with the punches. The inte...

Out Of Office: Javascript onUnload and postback
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/javascript-onunload-and-postback.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. Javascript onUnload and postback. So I just ran into an interesting scenario. I have a custom control where I need an event to fire before postback but I don't want to have to add an OnClientClick event in every page that uses the control. In fiddling with the javascript onunload event I found that oddly enough the unload event fires after postback. To my aspx page. The solution? Window.onbeforeunload = unload;.

Out Of Office: GDI and Ampersand Rendering
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/gdi-and-ampersand-rendering.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. GDI and Ampersand Rendering. Times it caches it and will load the image from the cache upon future requests. But enough about that. In GDI when you go to draw a string via Graphics.DrawString. You can optionally display hot keys (meaning underlining a specific key to specify that it's a shortcut visually). When I'm drawing a string I'm passing in a StringFormat. Why this worked I'm not sure and it's kind of counterintuitive but whatever. That's how I fixed it. On June 29th 2007 ...

Out Of Office: June 2009
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Another Lucius Seneca quote:. No one persuit can be successfully followed by a man who is preoccupied with many things. What are the things that you are preoccupied with? How many things do you have on the todo list in your head? How many of them have you gotten done lately? If you're like me then you have a big list floating around your head where things drop on and off of the mental checklist and you never really get to most of the things on there. Write it down! The part of l...

Out Of Office: August 2007
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 21, 2007. I've been neglecting this thing lately. Almost two weeks since my last post. Casey's recipe for shutting your brain off when you're up way too late and can't sleep:. 1 - Get beer #1 from fridge. 2 - Continue to work. 3 - Get beer #2. 4 - Continue to work. 5 - Beer #3. 6 - Decide you're in no shape to work and post to your blog or go play what may very well be the most addictive and frustrating game ever. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. When I worked a real. It's c...

Out Of Office
http://outofofficeblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/you-know-fun-restart-nowrestart-later.html
Saturday, December 15, 2007. You know the fun Restart Now/Restart Later Windows pop-up that shows up when you have updates that you need to install? The one where if you click later it will just pop up again in a few minutes? I'm term serv'ed into a server that I don't have administrator rights on and it popped up. Only since I don't have shutdown/restart rights the restart button is grayed out. Since I have no choice in the matter why does the freakin thing even show up? Seattle, WA, United States.
