One thing I never liked much about samples and examples found online and in MS VS Documentation is that, aside from the examples being rather useless programs, they quite often dangle outside of real context. "How did that parameter get initialized in the first place?" "How did you initialiize the class before calling that method?" I generally end up Googling for a solution to the problem that I am trying to solve. And that is the great thing about the Goggle Era. You pretty much always find the answer on the first search. So that is what I want to do with this blog. Write up some stuff about how I solved specific problems, let Google index it, and hopefully I will save someone out there a little time. I know there are not a lot of us left still programming from 20 years ago. But do any of you who did recall how hard it was to solve problems back then?  Windows 3.1 or the Mac OS.  I guess that is what late nights and coffee were all about. Personally, I prefer the internet era.

The first entry will be the development of this blog itself, and my building a .Net web application.  Okay, a bit boring, but more interesting things will follow.
