Rob Smyth: Great error message - Flickr
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2013/04/great-error-message-flickr.html
Tuesday, 30 April 2013. Great error message - Flickr. A great message error message . Acknowledge the problem, request lighter use, let you know something is happening to fix it, and talking like a human. Even better than Firefox's "Well this is embarrassing .". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). When Golly was a puppy. Left to right: Rowan, Golly, and Violet. Mount Dandenong, VIC, Australia. A guy who is enjoying getting older. Loves his partner, home, dogs, and coding in an agile team.

Rob Smyth: Resolving WatchGuard connection problem on Win 8.1
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2014/02/resolving-watchguard-connection-problem.html
Thursday, 27 February 2014. Resolving WatchGuard connection problem on Win 8.1. A solution I found to a WatchGuard VPN connection problem:. Delete the folder C: Users. Works better than before now. I had been using WatchGuard for a few months on Win 8 and then Win 8.1 successfully although the connection was often 'difficult'. But, for reasons unknown, it stopped working mid Feb 2014. I was originally using WatchGuard 11.6.0. Now using WatchGuard 11.8.0. (Build 425534) on Windows 8.1. The view from above.

Rob Smyth: DITA's image
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2014/11/ditas-image.html
Thursday, 20 November 2014. Is a publishing/authoring standard suited for technical documents. But it is interesting/perverse that DITA frameworks have such poor documentation. I like the looks of DITA. I think it has a lot to offer to save time by the classic " the best way to save time is to not do it at all. But gosh I find it hard to penetrate.

Rob Smyth: Galafry's UX guidelines for time lords
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2015/03/galafrys-ux-guidelines-for-time-lords.html
Thursday, 12 March 2015. Galafry's UX guidelines for time lords. When a user is performing an operation like opening a document/project they require a prompt result. That is, the think they want X within Y seconds but they are wrong! What they really want is a good experience in which they know the best is being done for their needs and software developers have control here over the space-time continuum. Do the crime do the time?

Rob Smyth: November 2013
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 11 November 2013. I wanted to add an error indicator to a UI to give the user indication that a error or warning has been logged. I've found this very useful to get feedback from users. But each time I do this it takes me a while to get NLog to play nice with the application's XML logging configuration file. The thing I keep missing is to reload the configuration by:. NLogLogManager.Configuration = loggingConfig;. Here is an example:. Var target = new NLog.Targets.MethodCallTarget();. The view fr...

Rob Smyth: May 2013
http://robertsmyth.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 8 May 2013. Is a great Visual Studio / Resharper add on to compliment lines of code (LOC) metric tools. If your team values LOC then StyleCop is for you. Thursday, 2 May 2013. Agile Project Management Team Tools. Hmm kinda by definition of 'agile' should the post be about 'team feedback tools' . but lets skip that. I'll even try to skip the agile/scrum/XP question (is XP or scrum inherently 'agile'? Darn I did not skip it). The main players seem to be:. Large range of features. After a few mon...
