INTJ's, ENTJ's, and PITA's
Anyone that has worked in a corporate dev environment (of any size) knows there are usually lots of different personalities among development teams. Some burn incence in their cubicle while listening to Enya and buying a VW Bug online, Some come to work smelling of smoke and beer and claim that they carry visine around because they wear contacts. I'm sure you've run into your fair share of them, and I alluded to some in my last post on this. I guess you could say "I'm back" or that this is "Round Two" of these posts, whatever. Here are some more I've had the honor of working with in the past.

My own Nerd Quiz
Since my introverted nature as a nerd didn't compell me to post my results from taking this quiz that's been circulating through many of the blogs I read, I thought maybe I should make my own nerd quiz -- that better reflects what I consider makes me (and others) nerds. You'll also see that I have significantly reduced the complexity of how the scoring works.

Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 simply a declarative approach?
Most of the time, the articles mentioned in the .NET Insight newsletter that Fawcette sends out don't attract my attention much. Today's had a few articles on Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 so I decided to give them a look since I've been somewhat curious about how Master Pages are going to work.

This was so hard to read...
...because I happened to have a full bladder at the time and I was laughing so hard.

Web developers tip: use favorites to resize your window
I've seen the tip before about how to type something like "javascript:resizeTo(800,600);" to get your browser to resize to 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Very useful. What I found even more useful however, is to create a series of favorites/bookmarks in IE, Firefox and other browsers and set the URL to something like "javascript:resizeTo(1024,768);" and name the favorite "1024x768"

Wow, I wish this didn't cost so much.
The more web development I do (where I'm responsible for the (X)HTML/CSS/JavaScript) the more I have to worry about what my pages look like in different browsers on different platforms. Windows, Linux, Mac with IE, Safari, Opera, and Firefox, quickly lead up to many different platform test scenarios.

The Ghost of Scoble Future
It was interesting to read Scoble's predictions for 2005. Wonder what he'd have to say about this.

Best Wishes to Jenny & Paul
I just read this over on Paul Wilson's blog. This hits particularly close to home because a long history of breast cancer runs in my wife's family. Both her grandmother and great-grandmothers survived through breast cancer on her mother's side. All I can say Paul, is that I'll keep you in my prayers and wish the best possible outcome for you and your wife. May god bless Jenny with a quick recovery and may she suffer as little affliction as possible along the way.
