On the Windows PowerShell blog back in March. I’ve not seen a response yet and doubt I ever will as it’s an old post and so I very much doubt anyone is monitoring it. The Process Exit Code. IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (. 160; ECHO ERROR: some error message. 160; EXIT /B 1. The PowerShell EXIT and THROW Keywords. 160; exit 1. The way t...

The OldWood Thing: January 2015
http://chrisoldwood.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Blog = reinterpret cast (life);. Monday, 26 January 2015. IIS Hosted Web API Not Caching Internal HTTP Responses. 8221; to true for the IIS application pool. I had a fun afternoon last week trying to help a colleague work out why the responses to the internal HTTP requests from one of my team’s web APIs weren’t being cached by the .Net HTTP component. It appeared that this was all working fine in the pre-production environment, but not production itself. A natural response when seeing Access Denied probl...

Richard's BLOG: Start, Ruby, and me
http://richard-mitchell.blogspot.com/2009/04/start-ruby-and-me.html

http://aspsp.blogspot.com/2014/01/carbon-eus-chance-to-shine.html
A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Friday, 17 January 2014. Carbon - the EU's chance to shine.
