Glen's Blog: The home straight
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2006/05/home-straight.html
Thursday, May 04, 2006. I'm in the home straight now. Just today at work and then I'm on a plane and home. I woke up early this morning. I realised that I'm now not going to sleep again for about 46 hours! Posted by Glen McGregor. So it's just like any other time you try to sleep. Interesting to read about your trip to Pike Market and Safeco Field. Two of my favourite places on West Coast. Keep up the blogging. Your namesake in Canada. Give me a call when you get back.

Glen's Blog: Weekend
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2006/04/weekend.html
Tuesday, April 25, 2006. I had a fairly busy weekend somehow. When I tell you what I did, you'll be amazed that it filled out a whole weekend, but if you include all the times I got lost while trying to find various shops and then when I couldn't find the car in the carpark it all adds up. On Saturday morning I visited "Pike Place Market" which is a fairly well-known landmark in Seattle (I hadn't heard of it either! Some jeans and some presents for my girls. Posted by Glen McGregor. We were amazed to fin...

Glen's Blog: A strongly typed implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2011/03/strongly-typed-implementation-of.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. A strongly typed implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged. INotifyPropertyChanged is an interface used to notify clients that a property has changed. It's used heavily in Silverlight and WPF in combination with databinding and when used it makes updating the ui and then retrieving data from the ui very simple. I have a major gripe with the way it's generally done though. There are usually two places where the parameter name is specified as text. In the xaml code:. Public class Pe...

Glen's Blog: Bike mechanic win!
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2011/03/bike-mechanic-win.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. In previous posts I talked about trying to find a good bike mechanic. I tried both Kennedys. With no success but I've finally found a quality shop. Throughout the process he kept me informed with what he was doing and gave me lots of choices in the repairs. He offered three different choices for crank bearings and the shop has a brilliant stock of spare parts. It ended up costing less than I expected considering how much time and effort they spent on the bike.

Glen's Blog: Windows Phone 7 Series
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2010/04/windows-phone-7-series.html
Wednesday, April 07, 2010. Windows Phone 7 Series. I've been experimenting and researching development on Windows Phone 7 Series. I've installed the CTP and written my first program! If you want to get started, look at this free book by Charles Petzold. Here are some of my observations. XNA might also bring some XBox devs across. But there's a fairly steep learning curve and isn't that accessable for noobs. One really big advantage is that MS has taken a much stronger grip on the hardware. Their spec...

Glen's Blog: Arrived
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2006/04/arrived.html
Tuesday, April 18, 2006. I've arrived in my hotel in Seattle. It looks quite reasonable, although I haven't really done anything except drop my bags yet! If you want to see where I am on a map, click here. The hotel is that white, bent building right in the middle. You can use the and - signs on the left to zoom out or in and see where it is in context of Seattle. Posted by Glen McGregor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You know what I miss? Life is full of oddness. View my complete profile.

Glen's Blog: Omnia align screen success
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2010/05/omnia-screen-replacement.html
Friday, May 07, 2010. Omnia align screen success. I, along with so many others. Recently experienced the dreaded Omnia align screen bug. When Windows Mobile starts up, it forces you to align your screen. However, if the screen won't align, which is incredibly common with the Samsung Omnia, you can't get past this screen and your phone is completely unusable. Personally, I'm staggered that such a big company will ignore such a fundamental issue. Once the digitizer arrived I found these instructions. The a...

Glen's Blog: Kennedys
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2011/03/kennedys.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. A couple of years ago I got sick of my shoulders and arms aching every time I rode more than about an hour. So I decided to get a bike fitting. I'd heard that Kennedy's was good so I went to see them. I was impressed. He diagnosed all the issues that were causing my discomfort on my existing bike and recommended a few options to fix it. Clearly the best option was a custom made bike. I'd never known such comfort riding a bike! After a service by Kennedy's my bike started missing g...

Glen's Blog: Plans
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2006/04/plans.html
Friday, April 21, 2006. My plans for the weekend are starting to come together. I'm going to the baseball on Friday night, of which I have almost no expectations or knowledge! Should be a fun experience. My manager who's over from Toronto is going, as is Dave. For the rest of the weekend Dave's got some shopping he wants to do (clothes are very cheap over here) so I'll go along and spend some money too. Any requests from back home? Posted by Glen McGregor.

Glen's Blog: A strongly typed RadioButtonList for ASP.NET MVC
http://glenmcg.blogspot.com/2010/04/strongly-typed-radiobuttonlist-for.html
Wednesday, April 07, 2010. A strongly typed RadioButtonList for ASP.NET MVC. There are many strongly typed controls in ASP.NET MVC. For example TextBoxFor. I really like using the strongly typed HTML helpers because you get much better information at compile time. Especially if you've turned on compile time view checking. The one control that was missing, however is RadioButtonList. There is no "RadioButtonListFor" to be found. So I wrote my own. This is what the code looks like in the aspx. HtmlHelperEx...
