Personal Blog - Finally, my ASP.NET MVC blog is live.
Welcome Folks
Hello folks, welcome to my blog if you're new here.
At last I have finished building my new blog. I have rewritten it from the ground up using ASP.NET MVC as a way to learn this new technology, I originally used standard ASP.NET. MVC is Model View Controller, and is a complete paradigm shift from the conventional ASP.NET WebForms approach, and is popular with other web development frameworks such as Ruby on Rails and Java. You can read more about how I built this site here. Functionality wise, this blog is fairly similar to the old one except there is a Twitter feed down the right hand side, and you can now post comments for Polls (see Quick Poll on the right). Also comments no longer need email validation (where we used to send you an annoying activation link via email), so please feel free to voice your opinion.
I have some interesting articles in the pipeline, but I'm in a sort of crunch mode at work trying to get a new project for the NHS finished off, but watch this space. I'll hopefully add some new features to the blog in time and apply some agile programming practices to the code base, as my intension is to eventually open-source this blog engine, but not quite yet as the code base is a bit of a mess.
You can also catch me on Twitter.
I've got Ham, but I’m not a Hamster.
I've realised there aren't that many images in this blog, so please enjoy some pictures of some insanely cute hamsters, courtesy of Flickr (see the images section).

Is that a hamster or a mouse?
I swear that is a mouse. If its eyes were rounder then I'd say it was a cute hamster. I'm pretty sure its a mouse.

RE: And So It Begins (part 2)
Great job Dom, (though it looks awfull in IE6 - the only browser we have here at work) ;)
Going to try pushing me re-worked site through it as well, though there's still a lot of work left to be done.
Now let the interesting blogs begin ;)Posted on 8 May 2009 - 1:07 PM / by Ronald

IE6 woes
Yeah, I deliberately shunned IE6 (works for IE7/8), as have lots of other sites.
Have you seen Sevenup, a simple javascript file you can incorporate in your site which warns IE6 users and encourages them to upgrade. I might incorporate it in this site.
As an aside my Google Analytics stats show around 7% IE6 users, and I bet they're all you ;-)

RE: IE6 woes
Yeah, tell that to the client I'm currently working at. The bigger the company, the older the software.
