Let me review your product
A number of months back I posted a review on LaMarvin’s Dynamic AutoComplete Tool (http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/jkimble/archive/2004/05/18/13941.aspx)]. I did this for a number of reasons: being nice to the community by using my “skills” as a product reviewer, an excuse to play with a dev toy, gave me something to blog about, and (finally and most importantly) a luring mechanism to try to get some free product to review… I really love tools and I love making my programming toolbox large. Mike Schinkel over at Xtras.Net and I have chatted about this and his reaction was that all I ever wanted was...

Vs 2005 (Dec CTP) CF Project
So yesterday I had some time to do some work on the Compact Framework 2.0 and ran into a problem... I could post on a newsgroup somewhere, but I'm not a big fan of them (and since a search on Google groups didn't help me I thought I would post and look like an idiot)...
So I went in created a new Pocket PC 2003 WinForms Project (very cool!). The new Gui designer looks awesome... So I went in and tweaked a couple things, created a menu, and then went to drop an image control on the form... there's nothing in...

A 12-step program for a GPL (and MySQL)-Hater
Hi... I'm Jay.<Hi Jay>
I'm a GPL hater. I'm pretty sure it happened in my 6th year as a professional developer. I worked for a company that had hired someone who had departed college in the last 2 years who loved Linux, and he gave me such grief. He actually helped turn the company in a more unix/linux direction causing me to quit my job (because the only really useful universal web solution at the time was Java... since I didn't have a strong desire to learn Java). Anyways this is old news.
I'm starting to work more with my church's web...

Dear Content Spammer
Yes, you who are spamming the world to try to up your google rank and therefore drive people to your site and make money off your banners. I know in your mind you are an entrepreneur.
I just wanted to inform you that you're ISP has cancelled all your websites. Maybe you should consider getting your web sites reinstated before you continue spamming...
With great disgust,
Jay
PS. if you could send me your real IP address I would love to crash your machine that is spamming the crap out of DotNetJunkies...

Via Rory... Bob Reselman Blogs...
In case you missed it on Rory's blog, Bob Reselman has started a blog. Bob wrote the book Coding Slave (which I have yet to read...). His DotNetRocks is still one of my most favorite ones. Bob makes me think which is why I love his writing so much. The little bit that I have chatted with him in email has equally charged my brain cells. Someday I'll either go to LA and meet Bob or maybe he'll be in the Tampa Area... or maybe I'll run into him somewhere... he's definitely someone who influenced my own blog (long before he...

The Internet would be a better place if...
The world governments would let us strike back at spammers. I've cleaned 15 pieces of comment spam from my various blogs today...
I would love to track the spammer down and shut him down by force! Now that I know a little bit more about hacking it would be nice to be able to legally use it on some deserving spammer. Now mind you I don't mean just going after someone without proper research/corroboration... Once someone was determined that they are a spammer (and they've been warned), we could easily keep the legal system free of these cases by having someone (I...
