Where did zachrys.org go?

Headline: If you want some information that was on the site, something small and specific, I’d be happy to see if I can find it. But zachrys.org has no plans to be up and running again. What was zachrys.org? It was a site I started in the mid 90’s to learn more about web technologies […]

Changed to Open Live Writer

Headline: I’ve finally moved from Windows Live Writer to Open Live Writer Why the change? I’ve been working to finally modernize my blog which has been part of the reason I’ve not posted much.

For example, one logic tier but present via WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) (both 32 and 64 bit), ASP.NET, MVC (Model-View-Controller), Silverlight, and Windows 7 phone? And, can I use the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern […]

Upgraded to WordPress 2.8

I hope all goes well. (Frankly 2.7.1 worked pretty nice before.) So far all is well.

Blog – Web Log?

Blog – most people will tell you it means, “Web Log”… I think it means “WE Begin to Lose Our Genius” (assuming we ever had any), so we resort to writing everything down. Not because we particularly think it will be interesting reading for others. But instead, as a means of remembering things. “What was […]
