These days I’m pretty annoyed by my own programming work. I’ve reviewed my own work more then once and found out that I’m definitelly not as productive as I would expect from myself. And, maybe more important, I don’t deliver the quality I expect I should be able to do so.
Looking futher at it, I’ve [...]

Just foudn out that Sitecore really listens to feedback . A while ago I sent the developer my own URLUtil as Item.Path.GetFriendlyUrl() seemed to create broken links for more advanced site-configs.
So I spent a whole day on writing this util and look, the latest build(earlier build might have it too) has the following overloads:

For 2 days I’ve got this extreme ugly dialog when deleting items after an upgrade from 5.3.0 to 5.3.1:

Changes:
All tags are not shortened. For example: <sc include …></sc:include> is now <sc.include … />Which means that the file is around 510 lines shorter
Physical paths in scheduling and log4net sections are now [...]

One thing I definitelly hate about the concept web 2.0 is tagging. I hate those unused links at the bottom of blogs, articles, etc. Why?

This post applies to Sitecore 5.3.1:
Two weeks ago I had to create a simple page which allowed users to download any file from the Media Library. And as the customer might provide images, pdfs, etc, and you don’t know which viewer the visitor uses, you want to force them to download the file. I’ve created a pipeline [...]
I’m sorry folks for the lack of blogging. Sjoerd pointed me on this ‘behaviour’. I’ll explain later why this is. But now a little knowledge sharing from my side:
