This week has been just as busy as last week, so another quick hit. But it was a rather decent week. If I'd put money on every game (picking, spread and over/under), I would have had over a 7% return in one week. That's pretty good. Oakland 10, Balti… more »

About a month ago, I came across a post from Joey Beninghove that caught my attention. Actually, it was a tweet of his referencing his blog post. Anyway, it was about a job opening where he works, and what caught my eye was that it was a telecommuting po… more »

As I stated in my last post, I've been reading up a bit on code reviews. I didn't touch on the last part of the book, which finishes with a discussion of Capability Maturity Model Integration, Team Software Process and Personal Software Process. When… more »

I've been reading through a free book I got a while back - Best Kept Secrets of Peer Code Review - and it's actually a pretty good read. It is a rather dry read, but there's some good information in there. And in case you were wondering, you can get the… more »

As I've started to look into NHibernate and how to manage the NHibernate session, I quickly came across the "session per request" model as the recommended (or at least most popular) approach. I initially started out with a context-based storage and event… more »

In the past few weeks, I've basically come full circle on the usage of dependency injection frameworks and Inversion of Control containers. Back in March, I was questioning whether one was necessary, since I hadn't seen a need to do anything so complex t… more »

I didn't get to watch a single minute of NFL football this weekend. That was a bit disappointing, but life goes on. Anyway, here are the results from last week. Tennessee 13 (-3), Baltimore 10 (33 O/U) Kansas City 0, Carolina 34 (-9.5) (38.5 O/U):… more »
