Sunday afternoon ad serving
I spent the afternoon today working on the ad server that I mentioned the other day under nearly cloudless skies and cool temperatures (~70°) for August in Cleveland. Code monkeys need a little sun now and then, you know? Of course, I still should be working on the book.

Specifying the right parameter in SqlDataSource control
I don't recall seeing this before, but after searching a bit in the forums I found that you need to specify the parameters in your WHERE clause of update and delete commands differently for the SqlDataSource control. The following is functional code:

Object-oriented data abstraction and caching strategies
I'm not sure if anyone reads blogs on the weekends, but what the heck. :)

What replaces the Register...Script() methods in the Page class?
I noticed in the docs today that the Register...Script() methods of the Page class are marked obsolete. What replaces them? If they aren't outright replaced, what should be used to solve the same problem?

G4 game awards a joke
There's a short story on GameSpot about G4-TechTV's “G-phoria” game awards, and it sure sounds lame. Yes, I'm one of the many that hated the network merger (along with the functionally illiterate kids that keep posting in my blog), but it sounds like the Comcast folks don't even understand the audience they thought they had, let alone the one they acquired.
