ARGH
So i am a fool. i just completely lost my post. I have been thinking about spending a weekend sometime (like i ever have free time anymore though) and implementing some AJAX code into my site to help me save entries so things like this don’t happen (if you are a gmail user, AJAX is the type of thing that enables the gmail interface to feel the way it does (ie no page loads when refreshing info, auto saving drafts)). GAH
Anywho, this is prolly better anyway cuz i think i was whining alot in the previous blogging attempt. I have been fairly busy at work the past couple weeks. but its a good busy becuase I am doing some of the things that i think are the coolest. basically i have been working on some grounds up application development lately. I love it because it allows me the opportunity to make all kinds of wonderful design calls, like deciding how to present options to the enduser, what the best interface layout is, designing sweet looking custom controls, etc etc. but all this is icing on the cake, I try my best not to lose focus on implementing the core functionality that i need.
I also did some playing around today on finding a good way to comment my code a la .NET. seems there is alot of reason to use xml style commenting in .net, becuase it can be used to automagically generate code like this msdn.microsoft.com, but VB.NET doesn’t support the xml commenting natively, unlike C#.NET. so after some searching i found some nice opensource plugins that let me do the same thing with my vb code, and voila in a few seconds i come up with beautiful code documentation. its like javadocs only a million times nicer!
So yes, I am loving the fact that i keep having the time to learn and play with all the fun coding things that i like doing and learning. as long as it coincides with what i acutally need to be accomplishing all is good.
Some day i will get back to working on my webdesign, but free time is rare when i keep staying at work till like 7 becuase i keep getting up later in the morning than i should… hey, enjoy the 70s that we are having this weekend! it was sweet weather for washing a car WHICH I DID, yeah my car looks major clean now like never be4.
