Micro Snips - The days are just packed

I've really been enjoying Eric Sink's posts on Micro ISVs and finding a product idea. (A Micro ISV is a one person sideline enterprise. ) I think I've got a good idea for my enterprise, which I'm going to reveal once I've figured it out in more detail.

Meanwhile, I should reveal that this aforementioned (and bold and italicized) enterprise has more than one person in it. My wife has endeavored to help me fill in on the bits that I don't understand.

Looking at what else is on the cards, (Where are these alleged cards, anyway?)
This year is going to be full of great software for me. My role as PM at TOWER Software is helping a truly talented team build some innovative stuff around Document Management, Nova Software's LongWire technology is under development, and it has the capacity to revolutionize legacy application management in a Service Oriented Architecture. Add mysterious MicroISV
Project...Surely that's enough for one guy?

And still we are considering more kids...

    Oh yeah - that too. Have you seen the waves at Teahupoo in Tahiti? Man. Paddling out into that line up would require some seriously brown boardies. Do a google image search - you know you want to...

Easter at Blackhead

Camping out on the headland, miles from anywhere. Big swell, off-shore winds, clear crisp nights and smoke from the wood fire. Sometimes it's so rewarding to get out from under the pressure of your life and just be a family of humans.

How to rename an XML Node in C#

This was driving me crazy - here's an easy cut and paste solution to not being able to use the DOM to rename a node for lazy developers like me: public static XmlNode RenameNode (XmlNode node, string namespaceURI,string qualifiedName) { if (node.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { XmlElement oldElement = (XmlElement) node; XmlElement newElement = node.OwnerDocument.CreateElement(qualifiedName, namespaceURI); while (oldElement.HasAttributes) { newElement.SetAttributeNode(oldElement.RemoveAttributeNode(oldElement.Attributes[0])); } while (oldElement.HasChildNodes) { newElement.AppendChild(oldElement.FirstChild); } if (oldElement.ParentNode != null) { oldElement.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(newElement, oldElement); } return newElement; } else { return null; } ...

Democracy in Action...

I have to vote in the US Senate Election Tomorrow. Okay, I don't have to vote, but being an Australian American, voting is something we do. Australia has compulsory voting, which I am overwhelmingly supportive of. People often assume that the point of compulsory voting is to somehow educate people about politics - to force them to have an opinion. The reality has nothing to do with voters, and everything to do with ensuring good governance - By forcing politicians to care about every voter, rather than just the ones who can be bothered to go down to the poll both and vote, it means that politicians are consequently forced to address the needs of all the citizens in the country. Under a non compulsory voting system, it's mainly the wealthy and educated who vote. I was a little shocked to find out that part of the aim of the campaign advertisements that have been confusing me for the last month on TV is not to encourage voters to vote for one candidate or another, but to discou...
