ByRef, ByVal, COM Objects, and Excel

I'm working on getting things into and out of Excel.  In one scenario I copy an Excel Range or Rows from one Excel Worksheet to a Worksheet in another Workbook.  This Workbook then acts as a storage repository for the Range of Rows and is saved

I was talking with a co-worker recently.  He had stumbled onto Scott Hanselman's Blog.  We started talking about the major blogs that could/should/probably be read on a regular basis and what information they provide.  I came up with a

Testing Environments

The new project is going to require multiple OS, Browser, and Office versions support.  This is just a list of my ideal platforms to test for.  In other words, "What I find acceptable to build modern platform tools to". OS - OS-X, Linux, Windows

I had my imagination stumble into a scenario recently based on Jeremy Miller's blog entry "My Game Plan for Starting a Project from Scratch".  Imagine a development project where you get to start everything from scratch.  Imagine you can setup

Slave Labor != Productivity and Output

Scobleizer goes on a partial rant about slackers.  His correlations are all out of whack.  I'm not even going to link him as I feel he doesn't need anymore publicity then he already has. I still strongly agree with the Edwards W. Demming and

Cube Processing and Stuff to Do

Often I sit wondering how I should kill the time I have between cube builds and incremental builds.  Even when I have a minimal amount of data in a cube the sucker can take a couple of minutes to even 15-30 minutes sometimes to build.  It all

Clarity and Rambling

I sat down and re-read my last blog entry.  It might have come off in a way that I might not have wanted, but I'm 100% against deleting content or altering (except for spelling corrections).  Amended text or another entry are just fine in my

Doing Things My Way

President's Day.  Not sure why their is a holiday for the Presidents but I really don't care, I have the day off!  George Washington is probably rolling in the grave realizing we've not heeded barely a single of his or the fore fathers warnings.

.NET Middle Tier Work
