Linking threats under the radar?
Say you post a scrappy one-man-band Web site on the pros and cons of pet sweaters. Like any good Webmaster, you add links to pages on outfitting pooches in ponchos so people can track down additional information--a move that captures the essence of the Web.
Imagine your surprise, then, when you receive a letter from one of the sites you directed people to, which says posting such links is illegal without first seeking written permission.

A little scary, don't you think?

venting on
Java, the language, isn't bad -- just another programming language.
But java -- the command line interface to launching the JVM -- seriously sucks. In particular, the whole mechanism for managing the classpath is just plain stupid.
[bbum's rants, code & references]
Great rant! After working with a little bit of Java over the past six to eight months (some web services interaction with the MS SOAP Toolkit), I agree completely!

No Weblog Today. No Weblog Today
Sorry, there's no web log today. Radio has fucked me over again. I guess I know that
I'll be spending my weekend coming up with something different. Seems something
really bad has hit Sam's website too. So I got the comments system up and running
for you to leave your thoughts on... well, anything. Enjoy.

Looks like Brad got a little bit of the site back. Let's hope he can get the rest up this weekend...

I know I complained about having to take this week off, but I was looking forward to the free time. But life has an interesting way of keeping you on your toes.
Lynn (my wife) has been diagnosised with chronic anemia. They had to give her blood transfusions today because her red blood cell count was so low. I don't recall the test but her result was 4 when normal is 22 or higher.
[Justin Rudd's Radio Weblog]
Good luck with everything Justin!
My wife and I had a similar scare a couple of months ago. A few days of bad cramps (outside her normal cycle) turned into an ER visit and then emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy in one of her fallopian tubes. Turns out that the tube had ruptured and she was bleeding internally.
Anyway -- they operated, she rested for a few days in the hospital and came home. It took a couple of weeks to get her strength back and she's back to her normal routine now.
We still have a few more months before we can try again -- the doctors want all her "insides" well rested before she gets pregnant again.
I hope everything is ok with you and your wife!

I think it's time I start backing up my rendered files from time to time -- as well as all of my Radio data...

7) Brad Wilson's ".NET Guy" Weblog isn't working for me right now. I get a blank page. Weird.
[Scobleizer Radio Weblog]
Yikes! Here it is 9:00am EST and it's still down...
[Wrinkled Paper]
Have you seen my site lately? I lost everything last night!
[Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog]
Ouch! Do you guys use the "Keep Local Backup" option Radio has to make a backup of all of the rendered files it upstreams? If so, are those blank too or just the stuff that made it to radio.weblogs.com?

Apparently, Jeff has seen it neccessary to "translate" his outstanding book to VB.NET. Those semi-colons were apparently scaring the hell out of those VB people.
[Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog]
Those curly braces look kind of funny too! :)
Actually, I do prefer VB.NET, although I have no problem with C# and use it from time to time. Anyone doing .NET needs to learn the framework first -- that's where all the magic is. Next they need to know how to utilize the framework in their language of choice. That debate has been played out before so I won't attempt to repeat it here.
However, I think die-hard VB fans should learn at least the syntax of C#. Whether you like it or not, C# is Microsoft's new language and it gets a lot of coverage in the press. Consequently, there's a lot of C# code examples out there to learn from.
And to further this little discussion into .NET languages, using ILDASM on your compiled VB.NET executables can lend tremendous insight into how VB.NET works. You can see how VB.NET paradigms get taken apart (so to speak) and reassembled into the .NET technologies (the framework, delegates, reflection, etc...). It's great information that leads to a better overall understanding of how .NET works.

This is a sample chapter from O'Reilly latest book "ASP.NET in a Nutshell" by Andrew Duthie and Rob McDonald. This chapter discusses employing ASP.NET user controls and custom server controls for reuse and employing custom server controls for extensibility.
