I decided to categorise this post under “Food and Drink” because they are the two things that remind me most of c-mas. I haven’t had a chance to post much lately because Sharon and I have been moving all our stuff into storage, ready for the big departure to Canada in January next year.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
Slashdot has a link to the Phatooine site that has a posting on a proposed storyline for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode 3. I think it’s funny that the droids’ memories have to be erased in a vain attempt for epsidoes 4-6 to make sense. Why bother? There are so many other continuity errors in Lucas’ screenplays that one other minor detail would not make much difference.
It is very pleasant at the Lynwood Cafe about 40 minutes north of Canberra. Went there for Sunday lunch yesterday. The Pork Terrine was most interesting and the Elderflower Sorbet was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Highly recommended!

Thought process:
I really want to write a game.
I loved PACMAN when I was a kid, so why don’t I try that first?
Hmmmm, now what should I write it in? I know, Excel!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this link. Someone has created exact replicas of Pac-Man and Space-Invaders in Excel! Complete with sound effects! Another one of those people with “too much time on their hands” I suppose.
A tip for anyone developing an ASP.NET site where some clients may be using a reverse proxy (a proxy server that appears to the client as if it is an origin server): do not use ASP.NET smart navigation.
I didn’t realize that some of the pages on my site had the smartNavigation @Page directive set to true. When a client using a reverse proxy tried to perform a client-side redirect (ie. HttpResponse.Redirect) to a relative page, the “smart” navigation actually inserted the full path to the file, instead of the relative path. This meant that the client tried to redirect to a page that the reverse proxy was unable to resolve.
And they call it Smart navigation!
