Goal achievement: Becoming a better C#-developer

I am currently coding a translator service in Windows in C# (VS 2005) and so I am on track on the goal of becoming a better C#-developer. I really like the C# language and the .Net framework, and most importantly the Visual Studio development tool. Microsoft has done so many things correct when they developed [...]

PHP vs ASP.Net

Well, this isn’t really a VS-blog-post, I just had a discovery while reading up on ASP.Net (Professional ASP.Net 2.0) and I see here that PHP has a way to go when it comes to make web development more productive. Yes we have more control on our code and so on, but the .Net Framework and [...]

Why I won’t buy an iPhone

Yes it is cool, and yes there are (at the writing moment) 3 billion applications. But still: When you need to replace a battery you have to send it away. When you need to upgrade software, you are locked to iTunes. But that’s not the only reason: I am kinda sick of a company that [...]

My thoughts regarding Linux Servers

When I write Linux Servers I am mostly thinking of Ubuntu Server. This was my choice when I got my hand on an old Dell GX260 Desktop. It’s not the most powerful machine, and it is highly in need of an upgrade. But it does what I need it for: Being a server so that [...]

Getting network and VirtualBox to work on Ubuntu Server

For some odd reason the network stopped working on my home “server”. The server is an old Dell GX-240 is running as a server on it’s old days. First I thought it was because of some iwconfig settings, but during my work, that was not the case. In stead it was the routing tables that [...]

A Gnome Dock update

After my post on Docks on Gnome I was suggested to test out Docky and I have been running it since yesterday. I then went back to Gnome Do / Docky theme. It looks the same and has one feature that is superior to it’s contesters: The Gnome Do. The Gnome Do is where you [...]

Monodevelop vs Visual Studio – or what the monoteam could learn from VS

What a long title… But why not. This week has been exhausting for mr. Huso. It has been some security holes and more. But I have also noticed something that I think the mono developer team should start doing. This past week I was part of a small team that upgraded a website from .Net [...]

Why 2010 won’t be the year Linux takes over the desktop

A lot of people have written that year XXXX will be the year Linux takes over the PC Desktop. As I see it, it won’t happen in 2010. Why? No professional – standardized – software available for Linux. And I am then taken into account that the software isn’t ported to Linux. Some professional/standardized programs [...]

I have been testing out quite a few Integrated development environment applications, also known as IDE, to be used to develop websites in PHP. These are the ones that I’ve tried: Komodo Aptana Eclipse / With Aptana “plugin” Netbeans Round up Komodo This IDE is created by Active State and in their commercial text they [...]

Goals for 2010

These are my goals for 2010: Launching project Dopinglist Getting either a steady job, or starting up as a PHP developer as a freelancer Becoming [...]
