It has been a few years since I have had the chance to explore the latest enhancements to ASP.NET. The development in my day job was locked into traditional ASP.NET forms just before MVC 1.0 was released and there has not been any opportunity to change. TDD, dependency injection and inversion of control containers [...]
The website that I work on for the majority of my time had been running on the rather out of date jQuery 1.2 for quite some time. I recently found myself with a little bit of downtime and decided it was a good time to see if we could upgrade and take advantage of [...]
Yesterday I discovered I had a few albums that had been ripped as a single track. I prefer having individual tracks and usually head on over to cuesheet heaven to look for the appropriate file that allows me to split them up with the awesome Medieval Cue Splitter. However I had a few tracks that [...]
As a developer who uses Vista as their main OS, I have always found developing php sites a little bit awkward. Php never liked to play nicely with IIS and unless you installed and used Apache, friendly URLs were even more difficult to get working.

The first hurdle [...]
Ever since I have been living away from my home country of England, I have noticed myself picking up on what I would consider misuses of the English language. On the most part, they are Americanisms, for which I take great pleasure and amusement in refusing to understand, until the person uses the English [...]
