Creating as an idol
often got my worth from what I’ve created
the process and experience of creating and fixing things and finding the solution is elating and gives a high
the above happens when dreaming and designing and solving each prob bit not when faithfully completing projects.
often without disciple things aren’t fixed and I jump to the next thing becuase the next thing is a new high.

Here is a quick version. It only works if the original song is still around. Maybe i’ll fix that another day but it was a nice little proof of concept.
ps code

Fun powershell project of the evening
Goal: make a small (5 to 10 line) powershell script that uses powerboots to present a snazy ui consuming some sort of web based service and be something that would have general web user interest.

AD Authentication with firefox
The main reason I still used IE at work as the default browser was the plethora of intranet sort of apps that require that AD Authentication. I knew it was probably an easy setting, but hadn’t got around to it. Thanks to a question to twitter and a quick answer I got a link to.

gave up the 24 hour MVC thing
as you can probably tell i gave up the MVC 24 hour project. It was good for learning but i lost motivation to complete it. I have some other projects that i might do a 24 hour on some time.

AS for me quickly:
wow lots of memories there!
similar with vic20 and tape drive.
others would be coding in basic then 6502 assembler of c64. Once took over the 1541 disk drives CPU to use a a “coprocessor” to do 3d calcs.
another making my own bootsector OS for 386 that was...

A separate twitter account, twitter etiquette and...
For a while i’ve wanted to tweet more about my spiritual life, yet I haven’t wanted to bombard the stereotypical twitter follower who follows me mostly for geek reasons.
Making this decision has been an interesting process because one of the things I love about twitter is the insights you get into people, seeing more of the “Whole Person” - for better or worse, through the...
different 24 seasons.
though its a bit premature with only having done 4 hours of my first 24 season. I’ve planned the next few 24 seasons - things that i’ve really wanted to touch, and they are mostly all based around this application. SOme should be less than 24 hours effort as well
1) This app. Building Tweetloss, an ASP.NET MVC twitter app, with powershell script in the background.
2) Building a...
No Time yet.
Though i wish i had pulled a 24 hour stint at once, i’m glad i took the evening off with the family and got some sleep, especially given the fact that i’m recovering from being sick. I hope to at least finish up Hour 4 today.

Hour 4 (1st half) : 4:00pm to 4:30pm
Hmm the guy in http://blog.codeville.net/2009/01/26/video-aspnet-mvc-show-me-the-code/ doesn’t use the models folder, but makes a separate DLL, which makes sense to me with interfaces and the way I normally work, but I wonder if ASP.NET MVC really cares about the model as much, and just leaves you to yourself without any Convention over...

Hour2: 2:00 to 3:00
2:05 Got installed, template there, created first application, for hello world got “System.BadImageFormatException: Bad IL range.” ODD error - but probably to be expected with no controller, or model

1:00 to 2:00 - events occur in real time.
1:10 - Blogged about the project.
1:15 - researched if there were any similar apps. Only one mentioned that doesn’t exist yet. Might have missed something, but since this is mostly a learning experience that’s a fine risk.
1:20 applied .net 3.5 SP1 to dev machine.

Building an ASP.NET MVC Twitter app over 24 hours.
I want to make a asp.net MVC twittercentric web app in 24 hours. I had initially thought that I’d do 24 hours in a stretch, but as an aging (31) family man I don’t think I will be able to pull that off, so its going to be stints.
So my starting point:
WHAT HAVE I GOT SO FAR?
-I’ve decided on the platform
-the idea and name of the app
-written a few thoughts, notes...
