As if anyone didn't KNOW that the war in Iraq is doing more to hurt our security than help it, this report has come out, showing that almost everyone involved in the atacks on American troops in Iraq has come from people who had never participated in any terrorist activity.

This guy is talking about how he makes more money in 1 month as a blogger, than he did in a year before!

This article is talking about funny ways that people use technology to avoid work (rolling back your computer clock before sending email etc).

Pretty funny, but if someone gets an email at 10:45 and it says it was sent at 4:30, won't you figure it out?

This site has a nice little summary of Inheritance vs Composition.

Class Inheritance should be used only if instances of the new class can be used in all situations where the existing class can be used. Class Inheritance not inappropriate if the subclass needs to stub out behaviour implemented by the superclass. Use Object Composition if instances of the new class do not require the protocol of the superclass.

I have been messing around with a few O/R Mappers. As of now, I still am not in favor of them, but I want to at least get them KINDA working right.

Mostly the big problem I am having is w/ nulls. You can't have a null integer.

The 2 I have been using are Wilson ORMapper and NHibernate.

This page shows some sample code for Wilson, and this apge is the documentation for NHibernate, with their forms being located here.

In this blog entry Wilson claims that his handles nulls, but I haven't seen how to do that yet.

There is a free module for SSL login here.

Some have implemented Secure Login here by making the link to login use https.

Here's a thread with a javascript way to turn HTTPS on and off

Thomas Thorp's SSL Module uses an HTTP module

Also, failed passwords are sent to back to the client 's. It's this line in the Signin.ascx.vb file....
txtPassword.Attributes.Add("value", txtPassword.Text)
That re-populates the password textbox with whatever had been typed in.

This is really pretty cool.

The smart thing that this guy goes is he sets a client side javascript include to a ASPX page, who is in charge of figureing out the WSDL info and building the javascript proxy.

Neato.

This is a pretty good blog entry about how to deal with client script in server controls.

I guess I haven't put in an entry for this product.

I am not sure of its ability to scale, but it seems pretty cool. It will look for links on your site (you can even setup forms auth) and it will spider your site and index files (word docs, pdfs etc).
