Categories: WTF, Development, Intergen Just had a great giggle and a shudder after my workmate Henrik showed me some code that is the latest check-in for a project, and I assume running on a site out there.
1: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
2: {
3: if (Request.QueryString["QueryStringKeyOfAwesomeness"] != null)
4: {
5: ThisWillBeEmbarrassingOneDay();
6: }
7: }
Inside the same class we have methods with such glorious names as:
- DoSomeMoreTrippyStuffOggaOgga()
- DoSomeCrazyAssDataUpdatesV2Awesome()
- DoJDMagicalSuperUpgradeWOotWOt()
Somewhat disturbing that the ThisWillBeEmbarrassingOneDay() can still be run on the live site if you know the magical key, but those method names, wow!
What is the craziest method name that you have encountered?

Categories: Development, VSeWSS, SharePointChan has just announced that Paul Andrew is going to be visiting us here in Wellington, New Zealand and presenting to the SharePoint Users Group :o)
This special event will be held in Xero offices 5pm Friday 27 June 2008. Yes, it's a Friday, but as usual there will be pizza and drinks plus the chance to grill one of the Product Manager for the SharePoint team ;o)
I've worked with for Paul on a couple of projects that Intergen have done for Microsoft now. I'd say that the session that he is going to present will be focused on VSeWSS 1.2, this being the Visual Studio 2008 compatible version of VSeWSS 1.1.
Please register your interest by RSVP to kirkj@paradise.net.nz and wlgspug@sharepointservices.net.nz
Hope to see plenty of you there :o)

I'm love my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard it's comfortable to use and I'm much faster and more accurate then using a regular flat keyboard. While I like some of the 'extra features' that the Microsoft Office keyboards have, like the volume control and handy shortcut buttons, I utterly loathe this F Lock thing!
Every single function that is mapped as an alternate F key setting has a keyboard shortcut already, which I know and use. But my main frustration is that by default the setting is that the F keys don't do F key stuff >:(
However there is relief if you, like me, hate having to remember to toggle the setting every morning when you boot up. Jason Tsang has a fix which changes some registry settings to flip the meaning of the F Lock key: http://jtsang.mvps.org/scancode_method.html

Ok, so I'm a Firefox fanboy and almost never use IE or Internet Exploder as I most often refer to it.
I just happened to be using IE when I decided to write my last blog post about the release of VSeWSS 1.2 when I discovered this gem:
What a great wee feature. It automatically sets the title of the new posting to that of current page in the browser and inserts a link to that page into the body of the posting.
Nice work from the Windows Live Writer team. I wonder how hard it would be to implement at Firefox add-on for the same functionality?
