MySpace & Me
I'm very excited to announce that Monday I joined MySpace as a Software Architect. This is a site that has 200,000,000 members and something like four billion page views a week. I can't back this up with paperwork, but I'm fairly sure this is one of (if not THE) most visited site on the entire internet. They don't have hundreds of servers, they have thousands. I'm very much looking forward to learning a lot here and offering whatever I can to the team. MySpace uses ASP.NET and SQL Server - quite the interesting case study for these technologies. We use Team Foundation Server for source code control. Each contributor uses Visual Studio 2005, and many projects follow an agile methodology called Scrum. Anyone who is a member and has ideas for new features or functionality is welcome to email me at rnemhauser (myspace.com is the domain). PLEASE do not email me with errors or problems. Tom, the first friend any new member has, receives these messages and they ARE read. I'm interested in new, out-of-the-box ideas, no matter how crazy.

Space Coast Dot Net User Group
This evening I had the extreme pleasure of speaking at the Space Coast Dot Net User Group in Melbourne, Florida. What a great group this is! Rarely have I ever seen so many members of a group take active part in the discussion (in this case "Introduction to ASP.NET Web Parts").
Some speakers prefer to do their presentation and take questions at the end. I tend to take questions as they arise, as long as they don't go off on too far of a tangent. Tonight it was almost as if the members helped create the session on the fly. We covered much more than was originally in the presentation and I feel that the attendees appreciated that.Many thanks go out to the members of the Space Coast Dot Net User Group. I appreciate your participation and your questions, and thanks for making this trip to Florida so memorable. -
Team Build of Web Sites
I posted this a while ago but then received a message from the asp.net team about the comments issue in the new release, so here we go again with hopes that people will be able to reply this time :) .

A New, Out-of-the-Blue Problem
Twice in the last three days my team has encountered the following error when attempting to set up a web site or virtual directory on a machine that has Team Foundation Server installed. After we copy our files to the directory and try to browse to the site, we see the following error. In addition to a huge curiosity as to how to solve this problem, I'm very curious as to why this only happens on our two "single-server" installations of Team Foundation Server. Any advice anyone can offer would be most appreciated. Server Error in '/VanillaCS' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.

Automatic Website Deployment with TFS
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am loving TFS. One of my most recent ventures has to do with scheduled build and continuous integration. I've gotten the project to build nightly based on a schedule (and would love some more info on the steps to set up CI) but the problem I'm running in to is that I can't figure out how to tell Team Build to deploy a particular web site within the project after the build as successfully completed.
