Google’s Webmaster tools underwent some changes over the last few weeks, but most of them had been minor. Now, they released a completely overhauled “Top Search Queries” section and it’s really cool. Most importantly, Webmaster tools will no longer indicate your page is on position x for a given keyword, but it will show how [...]
After finding that db4o did not screw up in our projects, I dug a bit through their issue tracker, which is a very important resource you should definitely check out if you’re working with db4o!
Just to get that straight: I’m an avid db4o user and really love it. These issues are not critical and they [...]
The wikorum-engine StackExchange just announced they completely changed their business model. Basically, instead of buying a license from them, you now need to suggest a concept for a site. That concept can then be voted for by the community and if you can prove you have enough people interested, they will set up the site. [...]
We’ve been working a lot on db4o related and db4o based projects lately, and close to completion of the first and most simple product, we really hit a few roadblocks.
UPDATE: Just after releasing this article, I found the bug in our code. It’s not db4o’s fault after all…
Motivation
One thing up front: We don’t need an [...]
This is just a quick note, but I just gotta share this right now.
It’s actually in the manual so this is not exactly a secret, but I managed to overlook it so perhaps I’m not the only one…
In our specific scenario, db4o was about 3 times slower than MSSQL via Linq to SQL in [...]

There has been some discussion over at stackoverflow on setting a default route to an area in mvc, so I want to post some very crude, but working example code here… I will write some explanatory text here if I find the time.
I feel that the fact that the order of operation in Application_Start() [...]

Lately, I have fiddled around with Versant’s excellent dual-license object database db4o a little and I think object databases are very neat. In fact, I read a few pages in PoEAA [Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture] today, and here and there Fowler writes how cool object databases are. The Fowler knows!
Well, anyhow when you [...]
Well… with a few years delay, I just wanted to sign up to del.icio.us, which is now simply called delicious.com. When Yahoo bought it, they obviously decided they didn’t want to have any more users, as you can see on the right.
I want to store some bookmarks online. period. Do they really think I’ll signup [...]
Automatic updates are great, especially for web applications. Apart from saving you some time, I believe they help to enhance security since updating is really easy if you just need to push a button. The ‘traditional’ workflow involves backing up, finding and downloading the most recent (compatible) version from an external site, unzipping, uploading via [...]
When I just posted the source code of the Dependency Property Serialization sample, I realized it included a small piece of source code that might come in handy from time to time:
A very basic, but rather exact profiler. It uses QueryPerformanceCounter. Perhaps I shouldn’t even call this profiler, because a profiler typically keeps track of [...]
