Not the monsters they're made out to be... Not even close
Just about everyone has heard the horror stories associated with the words "Pit Bull". Those two words used together strike fear in the heart of many people in the United States. So much so that a lot of municipalities have started passing breed legislation banning the American Pit Bull Terrier.

As a devout animal lover, it makes me sad, even angry to learn of this type of animal predjudice. If you have time, I'd like you to browse the link below. It's pretty amazing and has some good facts about the American Pit Bull Terrier, and the lovers and good pets, workers, and helpers they really are.

What's the big deal...
Ok...so a friend of mine finally convinced me to open a My Space account. Why? So we can keep in closer contact. This I'm all for. She's a good friend. The principal is sound, but there are some things about the site that just bug the hell out of me.

For one thing, all the advertisements give me a headache. The next thing is that the layouts are just poor and all the different styles that are applied hurts my head.

Or am I just looking at this purely from a developers standpoint and need to loosen up a bit?

New Photo Site
A very talented friend of mine just launched his new web site. He is a photographer, and granted I'm no expert, but a damn good one. If you get the chance stop by and take a look at some of his images. He travels all over the world to take these.

Client Side Scripting Woes with ASP.NET 2.0 and Master Pages.
I found a pretty good example while browsing through some technical blogs on the web. As of late, with the migration to ASP.NET 2.0, I've found that using javascript with Master Pages, it a real pain in the... well you know. At any rate here is the link to the example.

NDoc 2.0
I've been desperately searching for news on when the creators of NDoc where going to release the version that is compatible with the 2.0 framework.

While I don't think it is fully functional for the new types like generics, I did find a link with the binaries that will at least allow you to create documentation for apps and assemblies created with the 2.0 framework.

It can be found here.

The bottom response is the link to the binaries.

Zero-G-Dev has a new Look
It's been a while in the making. Between my busy schedule at work, and a few other "miscelaneous" things, I've hardly found the time. However, Zero-G-Dev, my site has a brand new look and feel, with some additional functionality enhancements that should make it function and load much quicker. Please feel free to tell me what you think. Chris

2005 Make-A-Wish Tuna Tournament
September....the tuna start showing up in San Diego. Since I love fishing this makes it even better when you can use something fun to help others.

Every year the Make-A-Wish foundation sponsors a tuna tournament in the San Diego area. The proceeds go to the foundation so they can make less fortunate kids "dreams" come true.

If you live in the area and like to deep see fish, it's a great time to lend a helping hand and couple that with a little competition.

Wish me luck.

Blogs Away
Well, I'm blogging. I'm not quite sure what I'll blog about. For this first one, not much of anything.
Most likely it will be something regarding one of my favorite topics:
-Coding (Visual Basic.NET)
-Surfing
-Offshore Deep Sea Fishing
-Maybe some Politics
-vbCity

A little about me. I currently work for a large San Diego based company as a Web/Windows/Database developer. I spend a great deal of my time trying to help out developers and hobbiest developers at www.vbCity.com.

Ta for now. Be back soon.
