Well, okay, you're probably right. It's still a work-in-progress.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/home/1697-3#c1591 2008-12-07T15:56:52Z <p>Ok, so you need to somehow put an indicator on your twitter entries so I don't waste my time clicking on them.</p> Sean/Red http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1691-linq_to_sql_and_entity_framework_classes#c1590 2008-12-03T23:32:39Z <p>Hey Red I looked at the iBatis thing the other day, it's kind of cool. I like how you can put SQL into external XML files. I might steal that idea and do something like it myself.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1691-linq_to_sql_and_entity_framework_classes#c1589 2008-11-25T03:13:45Z <p>You should check out iBatis SQLMAPS (http://ibatis.apache.org/). SQLMAPS is an ORM originally written in Java, but recently ported to .NET. Its fairly light weight and offers modest time saving features and "best practice" implementation. Because it doesn't aim to completely abstract the developer from the database many find it more palatable than frameworks like NHibernate or MS Entity Framework.</p> Sean/Red http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1693-when_its_okay_to_use_c_30_var#c1588 2008-11-25T03:07:45Z <p>Var sucks</p> Sean/Red http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1684-postelection_musing#c1587 2008-11-08T23:23:34Z <p>I think somebody would have noticed me going through the voting line more than once, at least where I voted. Well, okay maybe only after the third or fourth time. :)</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1685-azure_and_c_40_at_pdc#c1586 2008-11-08T17:04:49Z <p>I am glad to hear you share my beliefs. I recently switched from a Java to a .NET project. The last time I used .NET/C# was version 1.1 and I must say, I do not like where the C# language has "advanced". I'd like to think a good programming language is easy to read, I guess that's relative, but I have found many of the new "features" contribute to very ugly code, mainly the VAR, and now dynamic variables? give me a break. I am going to convert my new .NET project over to Java, I don't think the other 10 .NET programmers will mind. :)</p> Sean/Red http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1684-postelection_musing#c1585 2008-11-07T00:40:04Z <p>Not one mention of the super flawed voting process? I mean hell, I can print hundreds of those cardboard paper cards and continue to go through the voting line, over and over. No one is watching it closely at all.</p> Sean http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1682-a_minor_reflection_upon_the_election#c1584 2008-11-05T15:56:04Z <p>Extremely well said, sir.</p> Jeremy http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1676-new_collection_vs_collectionclear#c1583 2008-10-18T16:45:54Z <p>Wow, that formatting is better but still spaced out way too much.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1676-new_collection_vs_collectionclear#c1582 2008-10-18T16:39:18Z <p>Wow, that formatting is screwed up.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1670-whos_going_to_bail_out_the_bailout#c1581 2008-10-07T10:46:18Z <p>Doh, okay comments working again thanks to Red. :)</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1670-whos_going_to_bail_out_the_bailout#c1580 2008-10-07T10:46:02Z <p>Test</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/gaming/1663-war_report_day_7#c1579 2008-09-24T00:38:25Z <p>Woo the box arrived this evening!</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/gaming/1659-war_ordered#c1578 2008-09-17T20:59:20Z <p>I agree btw Red... AC was a lot of fun. Although in retrospect it took up entirely too much time.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/gaming/1659-war_ordered#c1577 2008-09-17T20:53:26Z <p>Err, that should have been "hurray" down there.</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/gaming/1659-war_ordered#c1576 2008-09-17T11:20:29Z <p>Hurry, client downloaded and unzipped just in time to go to work!</p> Tom http://thomaskrehbiel.com/gaming/1659-war_ordered#c1575 2008-09-17T00:45:29Z <p>I kind of miss our AC days. I know I didn't play it much, but it certainly had a "atmosphere" that was fun. Maybe because the MMO genre was so new.</p> Sean/Red http://thomaskrehbiel.com/home/1658-new_comment_system#c1574 2008-09-09T01:25:14Z <p>AJAX-ified is HOT!</p> Mrs. Krehbiel http://thomaskrehbiel.com/commentary/1649-palin_as_vp#c1573 2008-09-02T17:02:20Z <p>All politics is calculated. that McCain's VP choice is is not unusual in the slightest.</p> vince http://thomaskrehbiel.com/tech/1644-linq_query_syntax#c1572 2008-08-27T21:52:45Z <p>I don't get the "var" thing either. If they wanted to make it so uber dynamic, why bother with the "var" keyword at all. In C# 4.0 they'll probably add back preprocessor macros so we can take our code to another level of unreadability.</p> Tom
