  1. CodeProject now lets you sign in / sign up using your Google+ account. 12:37 PM Apr 10th via web
  2. @gduncan411 Just saw channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blo…. Nice! Interested in spicing it up a little? 11:45 AM Feb 27th via web
  3. Learn Windows Azure up and running at codeproject.com/feature/LearnA…. Nothing to actually see until 9am PST. #WindowsAzure 8:33 AM Dec 13th, 2011 via web
  4. We've halved the number of servers in use for the site yet we're running faster than ever. Thank you Moore's law. Serious costs savings too. 11:06 AM Dec 3rd, 2011 via web
  5. Database failover clusters are my new favourite thing, ever. Just spent 1/2hr flipping the site back and forth between 2 live DB servers. 6:27 PM Jun 13th, 2011 via Echofon
  6. HW: Main DB returned from the dead. Move off backup hardware tomorrow. w00t 1:03 PM Apr 13th, 2011 via Echofon
  7. Dev: jQuery 1.5.1 has massive performance issues on IE6-8. Stick to 1.4.X if you have intensive javascript on your pages. 6:17 AM Apr 8th, 2011 via Echofon
  8. Nothing worse than trying to work out why, at midnight Mar30 your code doesn't flip to Apr1, only to realise Mar31 comes after Mar 30. 8:47 PM Mar 30th, 2011 via Echofon
  9. HW: IF you buy from HP and expect service, then don't. 3 weeks after our DB server died and we're still waiting for their "rapid response" 2:58 PM Mar 25th, 2011 via Echofon
  10. Fairly major site update with some interesting juggling. Not all new features were turned on. Announcements Monday 2:57 PM Mar 25th, 2011 via Echofon
  11. HW: Main DB server still in hospital. New RAM, new disks,, Power fine. Nothing is helping. Echinacea? 11:46 AM Mar 21st, 2011 via Echofon
  12. We're opening up CodeProject to articles on Third Party products. A few provisos obviously,but it will be another great resource for members 11:44 AM Mar 21st, 2011 via Echofon
  13. HW: Amazing the amount of hardware you accrue over the years. We have a SAN. Yay. Cannibalising old machines for disks. The need for speed. 8:40 PM Mar 17th, 2011 via Echofon
  14. Site updated: mostly reporting changes. See http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Chris-Maunder for a write-up 8:38 PM Mar 17th, 2011 via Echofon
  15. Dev: copy and paste 5 lines of text into IE9 and IE9 treats it as 5 input events, not 1. My head asplode. 8:22 AM Feb 25th, 2011 via Echofon
  16. Dev: IE9 locks up if you have a javascript stack overflow while debugging. So much for process isolation. 6:58 AM Feb 25th, 2011 via Echofon
  17. @tpdorsey Got your emails. I blame the timezones. 6:49 AM Feb 25th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to tpdorsey

  19. Back in Toronto. No sleep on planes so no sleep for 36hrs. woke at 2AM by guy shoveling snow next door. Talk about a feeling of dislocation 6:52 PM Feb 21st, 2011 via Echofon
