Shadow Copies on XP, robocopy, PowerShell v2

[I forgot to post this draft back in April 2010. Needless to say I no longer utilize the technique nor can really help now that it's purged from my memory]

I’ve cobbled together a poor-man’s backup solution using PowerShell and robocopy in what I thought was a somewhat resilient solution. Robocopy turned out to be . . . → Read More: Shadow Copies on XP, robocopy, PowerShell v2

Dotfuscator on WP7 hurdle: re-signing assemblies

I’ve started toying with the proper Dotfuscator project settings to give me a workable, yet relatively-secure-as-possible package for deploying to private beta testers and the Marketplace. A great starting point for this journey could be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2010/12/31/dotfuscator-deep-dive-with-wp7.aspx.

Before we start, my project includes a number of 3rd party controls like AppBarUtils, MVVMLight, Funq, and . . . → Read More: Dotfuscator on WP7 hurdle: re-signing assemblies

Avenged Sevenfold – Nightmare –> Severe badassery

I promised a post on kind of breaking down how I understand the album but I thought a combination of it could make me pretentiously douchie and who really cares? Well I do.

I figured I’d try to post this as I listen to the album, giving notes on each track. One thing kind of . . . → Read More: Avenged Sevenfold – Nightmare –> Severe badassery

WP7 IRC Client –> dIRca

I chose a cheesy name to spoof on one of my favorite films lately, Team America: World Police. The project likely wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the pioneering efforts of Jeremiah Morrill on the XDA forums. I used the Homebrew project, built by daveux here. The primary reason I chose it was a more . . . → Read More: WP7 IRC Client –> dIRca

ListBox, ScrollIntoView and ObservableCollection vs. ICollectionView

I almost struggled with a somewhat SEO-friendly title for this but considering I’ve had at least one request for an explanation, I thought I’d try to post my thoughts in a blog format. The twitter shotgun of a couple of 140 character posts wasn’t enough to really convey what was happening.

Migrating from Windows Mobile 6.1 to Windows Phone 7

I figured I’d try to pick an SEO-rific title to hopefully convey the steps I went through to migrate data from a WM6.1 to WP7.

My Prerequisites: (yours may vary) Outlook and Outlook Connector, OneNote 2007 optional. Thunderbird also works great or so I’ve been told.

This post assumes everyone has already setup the activesync . . . → Read More: Migrating from Windows Mobile 6.1 to Windows Phone 7

Using Windows Phone 7

I figured I’d pull a me too post and give some first impressions using the HD7 and the OS coming from Windows Mobile 6.1

Email There is no straight migration process from the Outlook/ActiveSync based model to ‘the cloudz’ but that’s a fairly simple process Accounts are separate which isn’t so much of a problem . . . → Read More: Using Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 unlocker: ChevronWP7

My motivation for this post is to hopefully have a single place for my thoughts on just what ‘jailbreaking’ means on WP7, what this tool has done, what MS can do, and well pretty much anything else related to the subject.

I have friends invested in WP7 and I completely understand their concern. Another motivation . . . → Read More: Windows Phone 7 unlocker: ChevronWP7

Update

I promise I haven’t been intentionally neglecting you, Mr. Blog.

 

A lot has changed since the last time I posted here. I basically got laid off from a position in IT working for my dad’s company at Omega HR Solutions, Inc. I transitioned into a career path I chosen in college: software development. It . . . → Read More: Update

ASP.NET MVC hosting lesson: Elmah and SQL Server 2000

Background:

Technically this isn’t specific to ASP.NET MVC at all, that just happens to be how I use Elmah. I started work on an ASP.NET MVC project with certain erroneous preconceived notions. I originally started the database with SQL 2008 in mind because I run Windows 7. An easily accessible staging server used SQL 2005 . . . → Read More: ASP.NET MVC hosting lesson: Elmah and SQL Server 2000
