Ajax Progess Loader
One of the problems with incorporating AJAX on a web page is when your doing partial postbacks you need to communicate to the user that the save button they’ve just clicked has actually done something. Without those whole screen refreshes the updates can happen so quickly that you do get the danger that the user doesn’t even know something has happened.

Re Launching My Portfolio Site Deadlydog.com

Deadly Dog SiteWhen I first started on my own company I created a website as my main presence / portfolio and I have to confess it was rushed, poorly designed and pretty much just left alone for a long time.

With the help of a very talented graphic designer, we came up with a design that I think is far more modern and in tune with today’s web trends. I wanted to keep the site very simple, present enough information but also avoid information overload which I know I tend to do too much.

Changing The Default Browser In Visual Studio
This is probably a no brainer for most but I needed to change my default browser in Visual Studio to Firefox and it took me a long time to find it. Of course once I found it I saw how simple it was to do. Well if anyone else is stuck with this all you need to do is the following.

In the solution explorer window right click on any .aspx page and select “browse with” . You’ll see a list of browsers. if firefox isn’t there just add it in. Then click the “Set As Default” button and your done. Told you it was easy peasy :)
