Mere hours after I posted the first in a planned series of posts on using jqGrid in ASP.NET MVC applications, Phil Haack, a rather-more-widely-read-ASP.NET-MVC-blogger, wrote a long post on, er, exactly the same thing. Who, me, bitter? Naahhh… 🙂
But it turns out that we’re using the grid in a different way, and I think the difference is important. So rather than…

While doing some bug fixing and cleanup in a web application, I had the chance to go a little deeper into the jQuery user input validation framework. There are many tutorials available about implementing custom validations.

Recently, I was exploring writing an ADO SQL logging tool (sorta like BDE monitor) – more details on that later – which would show SQL statements on the screen as they ran.

From a recent thread in borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.win32:
There’s a problem in the way Delphi handles multiple open forms. Delphi applications can have multiple forms, and you will notice that each form does not appear on the task bar.
