I left you last time having completed my morning at Donington, looking around the circuit and behind the scenes. The afternoon was where my marshaling career really began – out “on the bank”.
I’d been allocated a position on post 12, on the outside of the Craner Curves. To get to the post, I had to [...]
For one of the projects I am working on, I needed to be able to self-host a WCF service. That in itself is a fairly simple task. It was, however, complicated by the need to allow a SilverLight 3 application on another domain access to the service. I kept getting errors relating to cross-domain permissions.
A [...]
As some of you already know, I’ve been volunteering as a motor sport marshal for a few months now, and so I wanted to share my thoughts about today’s announcement that Flavio Briatore and Pat Symmonds of Renault’s Formula One team have decided to stand down. This follows allegations of race fixing during the 2008 [...]
Today, I had occasion to add a comment to a stored procedure. Can you tell exactly how happy I was about it?
–
– IMPORTANT!!!!!

– This procedure has been replaced with **name witheld**
–
– Any modifications made to this procedure will not take effect in the live
– system. You’d be wasting your time, just like I [...]
or at least, mildly amusing on a dull afternoon…
“The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0×21b378 to COM context 0×21b4e8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation [...]
Insipired by Scott Hanselman’s blog post on the subject, I’ve decided to compile a lit of the tools I’ve added to my new developer machine. Most of these are producivity enhancements, but some are just for fun.
These are just the Windows apps. I use a MacBook at home, but haven’t got around to compiling a [...]
This is the third in a series of posts about things I found out while learning ASP.NET MVC. Today : Helpers.
Helpers are, as their name suggests, helpful things. If, for example, you want to add the current assembly version information into a page, you are likely to run into a problem or two. [...]
OK, so I have been given a new machine at work (more RAM, faster processor, more disk space) and I’m in the middle of migrating all my old data to the new box.
I’m the kind of person that will forget to move something across before blowing an old PC away, only to remember it about [...]
So far, the latest versions of CodeRush and Refactor! have been pretty impressive. Unfortunately, I’ve just found the first bit of behaviour that I’m not too keen on. Take the following snippet…
foreach (MyProvider provider in lps)
{
Console.WriteLine(provider.AccountStatus);
}
Fair enough. Old Skool way to write a loop, but nothing too extreme. Refactor! prompted me that [...]
In case you hadn’t noticed, or didn’t care, I’ve changed the permalink settings on this blog to use friendlier urls (e.g. this post is at http://chillijam.co.uk/2009/04/02/updated-the-permalink-type/ – or at least, I hope it is )
Thanks to John Burns (@codeburns) for the kick in the right direction.
