If you live (or are visiting) the Denver area come February 21st, come check out the Rocky Mountain Tech Tri-Fecta, an all day IT event focusing on .Net, Windows Server, and SQL Server. There are going to be some big name speakers coming from out of town, including Scott Hanselman, and some great local speakers such as Kathleen Dollard, Joe Mayo, David Yack, Rob Bagby, and Joe Shirey. This event is going to be great, and best of all it is free.
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. I don’t think they work. Every year people make resolutions and usually stop following them within a few weeks. However, I do believe in making goals, so I don’t see any problem in making some goals for myself for 2009. Here is a quick list of what I have planned:
Lose some weight:
I have ballooned up to 240 pounds. Wow! When I graduated high school a little over ten years ago, I weighted 140 pounds.
So Visual Studio 2008 RTM was released last week. I’m a bit behind the game and just downloaded it from MSDN. After the long download, I burnt the ISO to disk and began the install, and what happened? Installation failure. I went and did some googling and it seems there are a lot of people having installation problems with RTM. I followed some of the suggestions I found and nothing seemed to work for me.
I’m sure this isn’t new to any blogs anywhere, but I wanted a quick place to find it in case I need it again in the future. We had a problem this morning with an asp page giving the following error:
Response object error ‘ASP 0251 : 80004005’
Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
/page.asp, line 0
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.
Turns out that IIS6 sets a limit on how much data can be stored in the response buffer when you are creating a page.
After months of beta, XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 is now available. Head over to the XNA center on MSDN to download it.
For those of you who don’t know what XNA or GSE is, here is a little more info. XNA is a new suite of products and technologies Microsoft is releasing for the Game Development community. GSE is a free developer environment that runs on top of C# Express, and is for developing games for both Windows and the Xbox 360.
So everyone needs the obligatory “First blog post” on their site, so here is mine. Welcome everyone, and thanks for visiting my site. I hope to use this site as an outlet to start writing more often, whether it be about code, gaming, humor, or other stuff.
I just got this installation of Community Server up and running, and so far, I have to say I am quite impressed with it.
Here are some motivational (or not) pictures from the 2006 football season. These were created using the Motivator. I wrote these are articles for our fantasy football league. They were pretty funny at the time, but you might have to remember what was going on at the time to find them humorous.
