I just had a sudden brain wave. I've been going through my code library at work tidying
stuff up and marking some methods as Obsolete,
but the thing about this is that it leaves obsolete methods in the classes cs file...yukky.
So my brain wave is to make use of partial
classes and move all obsolete methods out of the main class cs file and into a
myclass.obsolete.cs file.
I just upgraded to Windows
Media Player 11, however first annoyance is it won't
sync with my XDA Exec. It looks like i've got to wait for o2 to get off their
asses and release a firmware update.
*Edit: I spoke to soon. Closing WMP11 and reopening it clears any problems.
A friend of mine Nick is off galavanting around the world with his misses. I've been
following his and Kams adventures via his blog (currently

(mainly because I'm lazy and I like everything delivered to me via rss, which his
gallery doesn't provide).
Anyway this blog is mainly for my mum, since I'm sure she'd like to keep track of

tomorrow for the weekend in Austria (Hinterux
Glacier). There's 30km of runs open and the live cams show white so there should
be enough to get me through 2 days.
I've got a camcorder ready to take plenty of embarrassing footage of the n00bs falling
over.
You should be able to track
me on the slopes, if I turn real-time updates on, since I will be playing with
the SportsDo software while out there. I've
been challenged to beat 65km/h down the slopes, it will be interesting to see just
how fast I do...
This morning I had a nice bug to track down, for some reason the intranet web application
was failing for users in a certain role. I've got an exception handling block which
is shared amongst all new internal applications (webapps and winforms) which
allows exceptions to be logged to a server (via .NET Remoting rather than webservices)
so getting access to the bugger is easy, unless of course the service can't be reached
and in such case exceptions are logged in the Event Log and unless someone notifies
me of a problem I have no way of knowing (I could cache the exceptions locally and
retry at a...
