I was flipping through Code Project today, and came across an article by Piers7 called Declarative QueryString Parameter Binding in ASP.NET. While I liked his approach, it required you to wrap all of your controls you wanted to bind with CustomAttributes. I had to do something similar (probably we all have), but I don’t have…

You got it?
A funny little quote from one of the Vulnerability Development lists I’m on. The poster was talking about doing a remote exploitation of a web server: So, I am basically thinking, i overflow EIP with an address that JMP’s -260 to the beginning of the Authorization header. The Authorization header then contains my Stage1 shellcode…

OT: Not responding to 911 Calls
Before my wife and I moved to Charlotte, I spent nearly 7 years with the Fire Department in Lutz, FL. Our particular station, averaged 4-5 calls a day, though some days we were *much* busier. We had our share of people who called us, sometimes frequently, with made-up problems. People who were just lonely and…
If Microsoft bought Red Hat, and IBM bought Novell…
Just finished reading a blog entry over on ZDNet about some speculation over the warming trend between Red Hat and Microsoft. While it certainly seems beyond ludicrous to me, it did seem funny to think about if Microsoft bought Red-Hat, and IBM in kind bought Novell (acquiring rights to Mono along the way) what kind…
It’s lonely being in the UK
As I was flipping through The Register this morning I came across an article about a slight problem with Google Maps. Look at the following screen grab: Yes, that is the U.K., zoomed out and panned over just far enough to see the U.S. Maybe there’s something someone isn’t telling us?
Getting Tomcat and Apache running on Gentoo – Day 1
(Edit 3/6/2006: This is wrong, in that it still uses mod_jk2. This is not a how-to for mod_jk. Rjae Easton has a good post on getting mod_jk working that you should head over to if that’s what you need. – Cory) I don’t really anticipate this taking that long, but figured I would document it…
Code Camp Follow up
Quick follow up from the code camp. We got an email with the aggregate of comments from the attendees. Overall some good comments for the code camp that will hopefully let them bring it back next year. As for me it was an interesting mix – one that said I was all over the place…
MSDN Code Camp a success!
Today was the MSDN Code Camp here in Charlotte. I got to see some great presentations on things like SOA, Mobile Speech Server, and Reflection. I also presented on Test Driving ASP.NET Development (ppt). I felt like the presentation was quite a success. It ran an hour and 10 minutes, and I had a lot…
Test-Driving ASP.NET Development – MSDN Code Camp Presentation
This Saturday (April 30th) I have the pleasure of speaking at the MSDN Code Camp here in Charlotte, NC. I am going to be speaking on Test-Driving ASP.NET Development. In preparation for that, I’ve put up a copy of my PowerPoint presentation (675k) for comments. What do you all think? Anything that should be added,…
