SharpDevelop Initial Review
As I mentioned in this post, I was interested in SharpDevelop, a free .net editor. I’ve been writing some with it a bit at home yesterday and today, and it strikes me as adequate for basic messing around at home on projects. Two months ago, I might have said it was super and all you’d…

Is #Develop any good?

Colleague was telling me about it, says it’s good for mocking, etc. Putting it here so I don’t forget! We also talked about a problem I was having where I’m the only one who understands the domain of my project, and if I’m not sure how to architect something, I have nobody to discuss approaches. …

Log4Net Success! And nHibernate upgrade goodness..
So in a fit of insanity, I spent all of yesterday evening, on my own personal time: trying to get log4net set up, trying an upgrade to the latest version to see if that would get it working realizing that nHibernate was hooked to log4net and so I had to use nHibernate’s chosen version if…

Log4Net
I am determined to get Log4Net working on my project. I made a mild effort recently, but wasn’t successful- and the whole failing silently thing is not so great when you’re trying to figure out WHY it’s not logging! Anyway, a goal for tomorrow is to get that working. If that happens, I think it’ll…
