Today I’ve been at my current employer for one year.

This is very good news. [Via ScottGu’s Blog]

I received an email in response to my post How To Avoid ClearText Passwords With UsernameToken that asks the following question:

I picked up Twiggy from the vet after work and she’s been such a trooper. Check out the sassy hot pink cast that’s bigger than she is.

Twiggy was at a newly opened small dog park when a group of other small dogs suddenly ganged up on her. Of course they couldn’t catch her because she’s a speed demon, but she must have caught her foot in a grate on the ground (extremely bad idea for a small dog park to have a grate on the ground) and broke her leg just above her ankle.

One of the holy grails for unit testing is to get 100% code coverage from your tests. However, you can’t sit back and smoke a cigar when you reach that point and assume your code is invulnerable. Code coverage just is not enough.

Colin shows how to configure CopySourceAsHtml for any source file that VS.NET provides syntax highlighting. In my case, I’ve mapped the shortcut CTRL+C CTRL+S to the Copy command and CTRL+C CTRL+N to CopyNow command.

Probably richer than you think. Check this out to find out.

My main man Colin is on fire with his latest version of CopySourceAsHtml add-in.

There is now a plug-in to use BlogJet to blog items from RSS Bandit. I haven’t tested it yet, but if the plug-in doesn’t do anything specific to RSS Bandit, it should be usable by any aggregator that supports the IBlogExtension interface. Want to write your own plug-in? Read my guide here.

If blogging had been around when I was a kid…

I answered a question about ASP.NET deployment in a newsgroup recently where the person asked which files should he deploy when moving his site to a production server.

If you haven’t heard, RSS Bandit can synchronize its state (feedlist, read/unread, etc…) across multiple machines. I wrote about it in the RSS Bandit docs.

There’s a lot of focus these days on SOAP vs REST and the proliferation of WS-* specifications. Sometimes you wonder if WS-* solves problems that aren’t all that common or have already been solved.

Adam tells me he doesn’t support comments nor the CommentAPI because he doesn’t want to deal with comment spam. So the day after admonishing him for being anti-social, I get hit by a slew of comment spam pointing to porn sites and selling Ginzu knifes. Did you know those things can cut right through a can?

Pat Gannon (no blog) makes a great point in the comments on my post about using regular expressions to parse HTML. He says:
