  2. Anyone using #log4mongo-net or #log4net.Appender.MongoDB to store log4net data in a #MongoDb store? 6:53 AM May 31st via web
  3. @randompunter Have rowed back on this. We are going to populate data via c# driver instead of javascript. DateTimeOffset still works then. 4:07 AM May 31st via web in reply to randompunter
  4. @randompunter Yes, DateTime is what we went with! 3:50 AM May 31st via web in reply to randompunter

  8. @MrBretticus Agreed. I lied slightly however, theres 1 transient object as well :) 5:41 AM May 29th via web in reply to MrBretticus
  9. @MrBretticus None of the two really, just a bunch of singletons only - the app is simple enough. 3:19 AM May 29th via web in reply to MrBretticus
  10. @silverSpoon Yes I dont want to reinvent the wheel but app is simple and I only require 4 singleton objects. Why add dependency on ext tool? 2:34 AM May 29th via web in reply to silverSpoon
  11. To write a lightweight IOC container or use Castle...that is the question 2:25 AM May 29th via web

  15. @deanvmc Cool. However, what about the scenario where e.g. 70%+ configuration of an app is duplicated in another? 6:19 AM May 23rd via web in reply to deanvmc
  16. Two systems that have the concept of merchant A. As they are separate we duplicate merchant A config to avoid tight coupling. Is this wrong? 5:39 AM May 23rd via web
