Support for coComment comes thanks to Thomas Freudenberg's coComment CSModule. coComment allows you to easily... Read More...

Infocard login update

I've uploaded some modifications to the Infocard integration on dotnet.org.za . The biggest change was a move to seperate handler pages ala Kevin Hammond's dasBlog integration.

SSL Certificate Updated

I've updated the SSL Certificate on dotnet.org.za to a proper web server certificate from Thawte to resolve the problems with Windows Cardspace based logins caused by the previous intermediate CA reliant Starfield certificate.

Windows CardSpace

Microsoft's Naming department definitely got it right this time, renaming Infocard to Windows CardSpace (WCS). WCS is probably the most underrated of the new .NET Framework 3.0 developer technologies. While Communication Foundation, Workflow Foundation and Presentation Foundation are all fantastic products...

Site Move/Upgrade Wrap

This long intermissions between posts to my blog is becoming a bit of a habit, and I have been neglecting my blog in general the last couple of months. In a way that is a good thing as I've been coding and reading a lot more recently and haven't spent too much time reading blogs. My plan was to finish... Read More...
