David Burke thinks that the GDay world podcast is “...fun but gratuitously vulgar”.
Is this guy for real? Fuck knows! - doh sorry David.
If your an Australian software developer and using Skype check out “The Skype List”.

I had the domain clarkescott.com for years now but, when I started to blog Nov 2003 see my first blog post
I just signed up here and Donny Mack was a big help! Thank Donny.
Last night I installed the dasBlog engine on my web site last night. So I'm “on the move”. www.clarkescott.com
I think I'II cross-post for awhile or at least provide a link to the post.
Now to tell Frank
Some of you maybe too young to know who Spinal Tap is but, for the rest of you.

For the sake of balance, here is what I love about VS.Net 2005 and .Net 2.0
1: Partial classes, man this beautiful!
The fact that we can now seperate a classes into mutliple files rocks.
2: The little yellow lines that show you where a method starts and finishes.
3: Win Forms Strip controls. Menu strip, ToolbarStrip and the StatusStrip all come with renders and you can also built your own.
This means we can now build Win Forms skins easily.
4: Code Refactoring. “Encapsulate Field“ I love it.
5: Right click on a file tab “Close all windows except for this“. Now this may seem like a little feature but I'd like to meet the person who made this happen.
6: Document Outline. The document outline gives you a hierarchical view of your form. From here you can chnage the z order of controls on your form. I'd like to be able to double-click a control from within the Document Outline and have it take you to the properties of the control.
Hi All,
Good cheap web hosting in Australia is hard to came by.
If you’re an Australian MCP, MCAD etc you might want to check out what www.ico.com.au has to offer.
For $15 per month you get 20MB web space, SQL Server and more.
I just recently joined up myself and they seem to be great guys, very friendly!
Cheers

So I had this idea trying to get to speak last night!
The idea is pretty simple.
Each year in Australian, like most countries we have TechED.
So the idea is we get the powers to be to invite Carl and Rory from DotNet Rocks to speak at TechED 2005.
Is that it you say? No.
Now, I know the first movie is not even released yet but, I believe there is plans for another movie. Cool!
So why not film while they are here in Australia and call it “DotNet Rocks The Movie Down Under”.
Or perhaps “Down Under DotNet Rocks“ (that sounds funnier in my head I think).
What do you think?

THE Commonwealth Bank's $100 million customer relationship management system has passed the first of a series of scalability tests at Microsoft's headquarters.
The CBA is banking on the in-house-developed (CRM) system, CommSee, to transform its customer-facing environment. Built on Microsoft's .NET architecture, CommSee will give the bank a single view of customer data and their interactions with the bank.
It will replace all customer-facing technology in the bank's 1000 branches and its call centres.
Scalability testing at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond found the technology was capable of handling the transaction processing requirements of a user base of about 30,000 people, said Ciaran McMullan, executive general manager of communication, coordination and risk management for CommSee.
The intended number of users of CommSee is about 21,000 people.
"We tested a variety of scaled up scenarios based on transaction volumes being handled in our Tasmanian pilot," Mr McMullan said.
CommSee has been piloted in 43 branches in Tasmania, where it covered about 250,000 customers.
"Our approach is that scalability testing won't be carried out just once, but regularly throughout the life of the program, particularly as we add new functionality," he said.
CBA expects about 40 per cent of customer service staff to be using CommSee by next June. | |

I heard that 160 developers are working on the project
crm software customer relationship management
Like many http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/demiliani/archive/2004/08/31/23823.aspx I have 6 gmail accounts to give away.
Post your details to win!
So I've been here for about a month now. Everything is going along smoothly.
The project deadline is looming but we should be ok. Mind you we haven't started
the replication code so...
I'm embarrassment with the .NetCF performance. Man it's SO SLOW
A datagrid loading 2000 Data rows from a dataset already loading in memory takes 4 seconds.
A form that loads some data from the same dataset to fill combo boxes, displays data in labels takes 2 seconds.|
Whats going on here? Is there anything we can do to improve performance.
The C++ programmers are now laughing at .NetCF performance.
I love .Net, so this is like hearing someone call your child ugly!
Perhaps using business objects instead of dataset's would improve the overall performance?
<nonPCRant>
I once said that if you like fat women, you'll like datasets.
But if you drive a mini minor don't date fat women.
</NonPCRant>
So what do you get when get when you mix 2 C++ programmers and .Net?
A 6 hour debate on Dataset v Business Objects!
I just started a new contract, been here one week.
The architecture for this project these been changed twice and we are now discussing the virtues of using datasets again. This is the third time it has been changed, though the first time with me.
I have had fun listening to these guys and I have learnt heaps.
I asked the most augmentative C++ guy what it was that he did like about using the dataset.
His answer was "It's a big scary thing that I just don’t like."
I'm not joking!
I like Business Objects but datasets ARE easier it use.
Hi all,
I'm going on a 3 week holiday and I gotta say it could not have come at a better time, I'm exhausted!
This year has been the most interesting of my life. I spent all year developing
data centric applications (C#, Asp.net, Sql Server, Web Services, Win forms) from concept to deployment. My business has starting to really grow and there are a few new projects already lined up for next year.
.Net has changed my life and the way we all work. I believe that everyone would agree that Microsoft has hit the target with .net even though there are problems. Microsoft has finally started to listening to developers (I wondering if that is the Borland influence).
Well done Uncle Bill and the boys and girls at Microsoft.
I would like that thank everyone that has helped me doing the year.
Everyone at DotNetJunkies, ASP.Net, Code project, Microsoft and the people I work with.
Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year all.
See you in 2004.
