Fun:: A new Boolean library for you ('cause I like you)
So a co-worker (Scott H.) sent me some code that is purely fictional (but a sick part of me wishes I had actually found it in the wild).
Here's the code -
Public Function IsNotFalse(ByRef Value As Boolean) As Boolean IsNotFalse = False If Value = True Then IsNotFalse = True Else IsNotFalse = False Value = True 'Make sure Value IsNotFalse End If End Function
I think this is awesome. We need to add a few functions though. We need Obviously IsNotTrue. We also need some obscure things like MightBeTrue and...

The Heresy of Agile Documentation...
I just saw this post by my co-worker Rob Teixeira (MS MVP) on Agile. Actually, IMO, it's not really about agile at all except maybe for Rob to get a couple one-liners in (on both sides), and it's also not an attack on agile despite the source of the name. Ultimately his post is to introduce one of the coolest concepts I had heard. I'll let you read, but Rob talks about Design Docs and a better way to do them... digital video!
[go read his article and come back]
I'm pretty impressed. As long as you can keep the video well marked...

Pondering Agile...
<small_rant>It seems like a lot of my career at my current job has caused me to ponder different development methodologies. Currently we have 2 competing methodologies. Most of the company uses a waterfall approach (SLDC); the group I'm in has at one time done what they call RAD, but it's closer to coding from chaos (when it happens). Our RAD development was very iterative in that we ignore much of the paperwork/planning and start developing prototypes (usually working prototypes); we showed the prototypes on regular basis to our customer. There was virtually no paperwork at all.
The first thing to...

How to Create a ASP.Net 1.1 site where a DLL is created for the subdirectories (with Visual Studio .NET 2003)
[Note this is a .Net 1.1 solution to the problem (.NET 2.0 has an easier solution I believe); it might work for VS.Net 2002 as well as VS.Net 2003... This is a pretty long post. I actually give you a short answer before going into the lengthy discussion]
As you may know I support a combination ASP/ASP.NET site at work. This site atually has a total of 10 subapps that are housed in individual subdirectories off the main site (for each "wing" ASP.NET or ASP). As I'm converting the ASP site over I have started to realize something that is a...

Recovering....
Well, I've worked about 3 weeks straight with minimal sleep (it must have been like what Sahil goes through everyday except I'm older than him). I covered 41 reporting and analysis products and wrote a lot of text. Hopefully it turns out OK (with that much work, I'm not 100% sure). There are some cool posts coming from this experience, but I have a 1 week lull and then I'm back into it for a week.
[Note to Jonas: I will get back to you as soon as I recover from the three week marathon writing assignment.]
I spent last evening trying...
