		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve switched my main domain (whalespine.org) over to being hosted by Wordpress and dropped the blog domain (spew.whalespine.org).  The main reason was that I didn&#8217;t really have that much going on at the old site.  For all 2.45 (and that is a generous estimate) of you who cared about what was on the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m planning on posting more often in the future, but I&#8217;ve said that in the past, so who knows what will happen.  Not to make excuses, but I have been busy of late, launching a new website for a client and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across what I believe to be a bug in Prototype last week.   It has to do with the Ajax.Request.success() method which indicates if a given ajax request was successful or not, based on the http status code.
I&#8217;m currently developing against v1.5.1.1 and in that version of Prototype the success function looks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[STRP has an excellent analysis  of Tim Bray&#8217;s chapter in Beautiful Code.   I can&#8217;t believe someone (even of Bray&#8217;s stature) has the gall to say stuff like &#8220;If you don&#8217;t know Ruby, learning it will probably make you a better programmer&#8220;.

		<description><![CDATA[You know you&#8217;ve produced a good next version of your product when your development team is actually excited about the new release and finds itself loathing to use use the old version in production because it is too limited.  Of course this assumes that the development team actually uses your product in real life.

It was  a lot of fun and was one of those life experiences I will never forget.  We spent three weeks together in a 29ft RV traveling through Alberta, B.C., the [...]]]></description>

For those of you who don&#8217;t watch sports on TV, a blackout is when a sporting event is not televised in the market that it is taking place in.  The only possible reason for this would be to encourage people to attend the game live. [...]]]></description>

TestDriven.Net is a very popular unit testing addon for Visual Studio and one that Cansdale earned a Microsoft MVP award for developing.  I can&#8217;t believe the morons [...]]]></description>
