Maragogype Chirpy: v2, Attack of the Elderly One-Legged Coffee-Bird
After many months of cave-dwelling and self-imposed anti-societal isolation, I return from the depths of my solitude to humbly (yet proudly) announce the release of Chirpy v2.0!
Chirpy to the XXXtreme – v1.0.0.5 Release (Party? NSFW? Eh? Eh?)
I’m excited to announce the release of Chirpy v.1.0.0.5–Chirpy to the XXXtreme. That’s right. This version of Chirpy will blow the pants off of every clothed person in the universe. So, if you haven’t gotten dressed already, don’t bother… Before diving too deep into the realm of the extreme, let me re-divulge the following preface: if you’re completely new to the madness of Chirpy, I recommend that read about Chirpy’s core features.
And Then, Under the Guise Of Jesusness, A “Fake” Twitter App Arose From the Spammy Ashes
I must’ve been feeling lonely. Because “fake followers” seemed like a really intriguing concept.
The Big Boy MVC Series — Part 26: It’s Codeplex Time!
You’ve sucked all the blood out of me. Hence, the bottomless silence. That said, I’ve finished creating a working version of Big Fat Dish. Joy almighty! Beer and Cool-aid-induced unconsciousness await!
Microsoft.Data — Let’s Inject Some Love Into the Conversation
Okay. So, if you live in the bowels of a horse, or if you were too busy watching reruns of Rubicon and Mad Men last night, you probably missed all of the chaos surrounding the upcoming release of the Microsoft.Data library. To recap: it started with this innocent little blog post by David Fowler.
Prototypal C#: Making C# Look and Work Like JavaScript
If you don’t know much about prototypal inheritence, no worries. For starters, check out Douglas Crockford’s super-short germinal article on the subject. Then, watch Crockford wax prototypical in this excellent (albeit somewhat boring) Yahoo presentation. Then, if you’re still hungry for more, read the Wikipedia article about Prototype-based programming here. And, finally, if you’re a fan of example-based learning, go ahead and watch this excellent Google video on Advanced JavaScript techniques.
The Big Boy MVC Series — Part 25, Going Postal: ActionFilters, Moq, ModelState, Oh My!
The Bad News: I’m behind schedule. I wanted to finish this project in a month, and, if you’ve been paying close attention to the time I’ve wasted fiddling with the project, you’d know that I’m a week past my deadline. I’m not mad, or ashamed, or crying. Please don’t make fun of me.
Chirpy Attains Godlike Bird-Power In Version 1.0.0.4
Let’s start with the simplest part: download Chirpy at codeplex. Start fiddling around. If something doesn’t work complain about it. If something does work, tweet or blog about how awesome your life has become. Finally, if you’re feeling really frisky, download Chirpy’s source code and add something. I don’t care what it is. Just add something. Surprise me. I’ll probably love you forever. Or, I’ll throw something at you.
The Big Boy MVC Series — Part 24: Dear EditorTemplates, Are We Done Posting Yet?
When we talk about “improving” our skills as knowledge-hungry developers, I find it interesting that we rarely mention the people in our lives (not Karl Seguin, alas) who we inevitably and repeatedly injure with our sloppiness: namely, designers. Yes, those people, over there, cloaked in Urban Outfitter attire, crying, listening to Bon Iver (or, like, whatever).
The Big Boy MVC Series — Part 23: Baby Got Postbacks, a Preamble
Whoo. It’s been awhile. Apologies for that. I’ve been looking for a new place to live in Honolulu, and the whole process has been an uphill battle (thanks for asking). It appears that real estate brokers don’t like it too much when you fill in the “Sex: ___________” blank with “OFFENDER“
