		<description><![CDATA[	Walking a coworker through the concept of test driven development and unit testing I designed some notes on it. So I thought I&#8217;d copy them online for future reference.

	TDD steps:
A. Choose a test or suite of tests. Design it/them.
Design mode involves asking the following questions:

	1. What do I assume exists? (the Setup phase)
2. What do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	So I think I may have found a bug in Wordpress 2.2, which powers my blog. For some reason while posting and updating an article entitled &#8220;Maximising Google Reader&#8221; my homepage will display the article twice. A look at the database level though indicates only one posting stored for the article. I&#8217;m hoping this is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I stumbled upon DZone quite by accident but already I like its concept. Hardcore, tech knowledge for active programmers, peer reviewed and approved in the same spirit of Digg articles.
There&#8217;s an RSS feed as well so you can manage the information flow with your favourite aggregator.

Forgive the look of the site for the time.
I did 2 upgrades, first to mySQL 5.0 from mySQL 4.0, then from Wordpress 2.1.x (can&#8217;t remember what version  i was on)  to Wordpress 2.2.

	
Main issues:

	
1. My Sidebar widget doesn&#8217;t load. Apparently this is a &#8220;feature&#8221; of Wordpress 2.2, but I haven&#8217;t figured out where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Working on a Medullan project I saw int.Parse() being used interchangeably for
Convert.ToInt32() so I wondered what was the difference.
This link has the answer.

After writing this at 2am&#194;&#160;during a coding run, my CEO (who&#8217;s also a seasoned coder in his own right) recommended the TryParse() method for consideration. The TryParse() functionality has been extended to all [...]]]></description>
