Posted in Work-Life Balance | Comments Off

I am having bloggers guilt.  The last few weeks have been seen a low posting volume.  I have not taken any vows of silence; my schedule has got the best of me.  I’m off to the MVP summit, my first, and I’m extremely excited to get a chance to travel to Seattle and meet fellow [...]

After battling with error 0×80004004 the WCF client I was testing started received a new error.

While troubleshooting another SharePoint WSS issue (related to DCOM permissions) I had to test calling the List Service against an Instance of SharePoint that was running over SSL.  I was using WCF as the client and the biggest pain was the configuration (which is usually the case with WCF).  Based on several other posts, here [...]

Today I spent some time working through a few issues with SharePoint and DCOM permissions.  Hopefully this helps another developer on a quest to solve this issue.
If you’ve found 0×80004004 then you are already pretty far along to the solution.  While testing calls to the List service in SharePoint using WCF for the client I [...]

I love coffee.  My wife loves coffee.  Except when now that she’s pregnant (again).  A few weeks ago I received a request to cease coffee making at home because the smell was a little much for my wife to take.  Apparently baby on the way (#3) does not appreciate coffee.

Years ago, when I was working in libraries, I had the chance to read David Allen’s Getting Things Done.  The impact of that book took a while to really sink in and combining that with Inbox Zero a few years later I was on my way to a GTD system.  Unfortunately after a good year [...]

This week there have been two posts covering dependency inversion and going too far with constructor injection.  In the first post Robert C Martin (Uncle Bob) cautions against littering your code with calls to your IoC container. 
I think these frameworks are great tools. But I also think you should carefully restrict how and where [...]

This post has nothing to do with technology.
I’m not sure that anyone has ever posted any “rules” for men’s restrooms but there are some unspoken ones that most guys just figure out.  Sometimes, though, there is a need to set some ground rules.
