• ALT.NET, Hot-or-Not Lists, and the embarrassment of it all.

  While I love .NET, and I've lived it in these past 6-7 years now, this whole ALT.NET thing is just nearly comical at this point. I understand the point they're trying to make, and I think it's kinda funny that it's almost trendy now..... Posted Jun 04 2007, 09:17 PM by Jason Alexander's Blog Filed under: Technical, Rants

• Ted Neward vs. Oren Eini on ORM Practices

  Just sitting around here on a Saturday morning... nice and quiet. Maya's napping, Dani's watching movies, Jeannie's sleeping... so I start tech surfing. I do this so little these days.

• Update to my Authorize.net API

  Sorry guys, someone commented and told me that I forgot a class in one my zip file for the Authorize.net API's. My apologies! I've updated the download and all should be well.

• Code Drop, April 2007: TeleTwitter, Twitter Client for Windows

  Wow, what a month for the Code Drop! To preface this post, I'm kinda cheating this month - I'm claiming this code for my monthly Code Drop post but there were SO many contributors to this project!

• Twitter Gone Wild!

  So, my blog posting has slowed down, I know. Why? You're probably thinking I lost my ambition to blog again. But, no. That's not it. Why? Well, I've become a twitter addict. I signed up there probably 8 months ago, played with it and just... Posted Apr 13 2007, 10:55 AM by Jason Alexander's Blog Filed under: Technical, Blogging Tools

• Kurt Vonnegut passed on at 84

  Late last night I got a news pop-up from Live Messenger to an article telling that Kurt Vonnegut had passed on at the age of 84. This really hit me like a ton of bricks, to be honest. I've always really enjoyed Vonnegut's writing (I've read... Posted Apr 12 2007, 10:41 AM by Jason Alexander's Blog Filed under: Technical

• Code Drop, March 2007: Authorize.net C# API

  Alrighty, in keeping with one of my new vows to include richer content on my site, I'm officially starting what I call my "code drop". This is where I'll publish one thing of code each month. May be useful, may be worthless. Who knows... Posted Mar 30 2007, 06:06 PM by Jason Alexander's Blog Filed under: Personal Projects, Technical, code drop, Open Source

• Yahoo! Mail API and Unlimited Storage

  Jeremy Zawodny posted about Yahoo! opening up their email to be unlimited storage, and their new Mail API's. Definitely expect one of my upcoming projects to involve this. It's mind boggling the different ways you could think to use these. Hmmmm... Posted Mar 29 2007, 05:47 PM by Jason Alexander's Blog Filed under: Business, Technical

• Great feedback everyone!

  So, the feedback to my earlier post was great, very positive. Thanks everyone! What I heard was, basically, keep doing what I'm doing and if I want to add extra specialized content, such as project drops monthly, than that would be awesome too! Consider...

• Family Backup Strategies, Mozy.com, etc...

  In my reader this morning, Scott Hanselman is talking about his family backup strategy . Really good blog post, and something I've had to learn the hardway myself.

• Know thyself.

  Chatting with ScottW a few weeks ago at a conference, he made a good theory: the blogging style that I moved to at the first of the year, where it's just a stream of consciencous, only works well for interesting personalities like Rory , Dave Winer...
