According to Wikipedia: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Furthermore: CSS specifies a priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a particular element. In this so-called [...]
Earlier this month, I posted about how the ASP.NET membership providers are creating the required database schema for me automagically when I first hit the site. Here is a quick update to that statement now that I more thoroughly understand what’s going on. Scott Hanselman does a great job introducing us to the ASP.NET Universal [...]
It’s been a little over a month and I’ve been grinding through learning iOS development using Xcode and Objective-C. I come from a .NET background using Visual Studio and C# and find it slowly becoming easier to understand the Objective-C syntax. I’ve been primarily using the Nerd Ranch Book to learn iOS development but recently [...]
With the release of Informant v0.1.5.0 today I wanted to take a minute and talk about some of the changes and challenges I faced with this iteration. Let me first tell you what my goal was with this iteration. I wanted to create a single code base that could be reused in the Windows Service [...]

That little reminder in the back of my head has kept popping up saying it was time to learn Intel Assembler but the auto-click to “close [...]
Here at InterKnowlogy we have the benefit of working on a lot of cutting edge technologies. A good deal of our first looks at different technologies involve installing alpha/beta bits that may or may not install or uninstall properly and may or may not play nice with existing technologies that we use in other projects.

If you get frustrated by mysterious hangs and long-running operations in Visual Studio 2010 (yes ToolBox, I’m looking at you) there’s often not much you can do about it but sit and wait… Luckily the VS team wants these problems fixed as much as you do (they write their code in VS too) so to [...]
This post is a continuation off of this post on Up and Running with Git and Visual Studio, if you have no idea what Git is, or how to setup git and git-extensions on windows I recommend you start there. So you’ve installed git and git extensions, written a sweet hello world application, made some [...]
Today at lunch, we got on the subject of the WCF netTcpBinding and whether or not it was able to traverse routers (and even NAT). Highly nerdy lunch, admittedly. So my co-worker Matthew and I decided to spend our RECESS this afternoon proving it out. Here’s a picture of what we setup. A WCF service [...]
After trying out the new features in Blend 3 I’m definitely looking forward to the full release. It already seems to be more responsive than Blend 2 SP1 while navigating around files, templates, selected elements, etc, even at this pre-Beta stage. I was disappointed to see SketchFlow missing from the Preview, but look forward to [...]
