My new blog

12 May 2007

I wanted a place to bring all my projects together and I also wanted to create a small web application in ASP.NET. So, I'm starting this blog using a blogging package I'm creating called gBlog. It would have been easier to use someone elses, but I wanted to learn something from doing this.

This blog will be about all my projects, plus other stuff I'm up to. Some of my projects are quite geeky and some are more arty. This brings them all together.

I'm also going to add some of my old projects that I'm pleased with. Anything you find listed before this post was added later really, but with the date when I did it.

I hope you enjoy reading about my projects, and get in touch if you're interested.

  • Creating this blogging software has been a great way of improving my ASP.NET skills. It uses ASP.NET 2.0, is programmed in C#. It has a SQL server 2000 backend and makes full use of stored procedures (although I've heard that ORM might be the future). I didn't really appreciate how complex a piece of blogging software could be. Now I've been using it for a while I have a feature request as long as my arm. If I was to do this again I'd probably not reinvent the wheel and I'd use something like dasBlog or Subtext. These are both open source ASP.NET blogging engines that I've heard good things about.
