Random Friday: My Accomplishments

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 11:15 AM PDT

It's that time of year at Microsoft when managers are busily preparing reviews of their reports and preparing for the big stack ranking . Yesterday, my manager sent out an email asking his reports to email him with their accomplishments in the past year to help jog his memory. This arms him with important information when he goes to the matt for us arguing why we're more deserving of a higher ranking than some other manager's sad report. Here was my response. In the past year, I… Escaped from a black hole. Twice. I forgot my jacket in there and had to go get it. Discovered an albino polar bear. Proved Fermat's Last Theorem as well as his penultimate theorem. Found Waldo. And made him change out of that ridiculous shirt and hat. Discovered he...(read more)

Dependency Injection With ASP.NET HttpModules

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 01:06 AM PDT

At the risk of getting punched in the face by my friend Miguel, I'm not afraid to admit I'm a fan of responsible use of dependency injection. However, for many folks, attempting to use DI runs into a roadblock when it comes to ASP.NET HttpModule. In the past, I typically used " Poor man's DI " for this. I wasn't raised in an affluent family, so I guess I don't have as much of a problem with this approach that others do. However, when the opportunity for something better comes along, I'll take it Daddy Warbucks . I was refactoring some code in Subtext when it occurred to me that the new ability to register HttpModules dynamically using the PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute could come in very handy.
