Watch your Azure DB Names. Created a DB name like 'x.y', went live, and now learn Azure Data Sync doesn't support the pattern. Now I'm stuck
September 7. 00:27
It still surprises me how many devs don't know how to properly encode XML data... Especially URLs.
August 31. 17:40
Hate it when tech goes wrong. Can't order an EA Game because Origin doesn't list the US as a country. There support link is dead too. :-(
August 26. 14:07
More Rackspace fun! Added new server & 3 days later it still can't reach my Rackspace DB. Firewall finger-pointing. 2 tickets & no joy :-(
August 16. 17:17
Finally got to speak to someone at RackSpace. Real calls are so much more productive then 'live chat'. Problem solved...
August 16. 16:37
It seems to me that if you "Hide this advert" in Facebook it shouldn't ever return... but they do... So why even provide the feature
August 16. 16:02
Trying to work with RackSpace support & I'm slowly losing the will to live. Can't get them on the phone, they require we use live chat. :-(
August 7. 03:44
Rrrrrr! WindowsAzure requiring me to create mutiple Live Ids for multiple Subscriptions on seperate cards. What happened to single sign-on?
August 1. 16:28
Bing needs a mobile bot to detect mobile content and rank accordingly.
August 1. 16:27
Bing apparently uses "Content-Language" meta to determine "locale". That explains why my French speakers in the UK get the wrong links. :-(
July 15. 15:19
Just deployed my new auto-scaler. Now instancing to meet demand is automatic. Scaling elastically is fun :-)
July 12. 16:16
I have apparently found a way to overwhelm the Azure Service Bus... That is somewhat concerning. :-(
July 10. 16:41
The Azure Affinity Groups and VIP swapping are a refinement I never knew I missed. Love it!
July 10. 16:20
Back to WinForms... Quickly reminded of making changes off the main Thread. Really tedious when you've been away for a while. Arrg!
