Writing in ASP.Net and C#

“Of late I have been doing more and more in c# and ASP.Net. I am helping a friend out with the creation of a new site and a project at work I am on requires a timeline of actions to be rendered.

Time to study.

“Over the last week I have now got 70-301, one of the hardest MCP tests I have done. You really need to know the information form 70-301 and 70-300 as the test references both. Also a good review of all th eMSF 3.1 Whitepapers on the Microsoft site helped immensely. Im now in the process of studing for 70-229 SQL Design, it is not looking to bad at the moment, well until I have to get into Normalisation :D The twins are doing well, Amelie is now smiling all the time and Anja is well, being Anja :)”

We went there last weekend and it was a really nice day out. Continue reading

Site Update

“I have decided to create a theme from scratch myself and this is it, it is called Blue Cross. It has been designed to take variable width content in the centre so i can embed gallery and my wiki into the site. I have also upload Photo Collector, a application i wrote to handle the copying of images from my camera in a organised manner. http://blog.sytone.com/photo-collector/"

After getting annoyed with doing this manually I have created the photo collector. It will handle JPG and AVI files and copy them to there corect taken date folder on the destination.

Back from Rome

“We had a nice time in rome and Im getting photos ready to upload. Nature/IMG_4754.jpg I also have the Gallery plugin for wordpress working, and of course done the obligatory tweaking :D I have added some code to make it look nice and handle the class attributes correctly. Also I noticed that his site missed the fact you have to have the jpg extention on the file as well.”
