Silence is FOO!

Everybody who has read codesamples in whatever language will encounter the famous words "Foo", "Bar" and "Foobar". Did your mind wander of on trying to find the meaning of these words? I remember it confused me as I was looking for a deeper meaning.

Well last monday my colleague Michiel send me this link to the Etymology of "Foo". I first couldn't believe it. There is an actual RFC document on these words.

PicasaTemplates and the Eolas patent

Yesterday Hetty -my girlfriend- wanted to post some gardenlife photos to our website. She used Picasa to generate the webpages and asked me to put them online. I clicked on the page to view the photos. The photos came up nicely but when I tried to navigate it was a no-go.

log4net in .NET 2.0 Framework

In our organization we use log4net for all our .NET 1.1 applications. For our new projects we use Visual Studio 2005. At this moment there is no public version that supports the .NET 2.0 framework.

In the log4net mailing list people claim you can use the current version but this is only partially true:
It’s true, for application running with trust level full,
but it’s false, for all other trust levels.

When the trust level is set to something other then “Full” a Security Exception will be thrown.

Trustlevels in .NET 1.1

If you want to build a secure ASP.NET Application you do not want your application running with full trust.
