RadControls ComboBox
When doing any kind of validation on your aspx pages, you must go back and set the CausesValidation property of most of your controls to “false”. My RadComboBox wasn’t firing any postbacks until I did that. I also had to set the same property on all my RadTabStrips because by default, they want to validate when you click on other tabs.

The Presidential Debates…
Ah, were does one start? The first thing that became immediately apparent to me, was McCain’s inability to look at Obama. That was extremely off-putting. I’m still trying to figure out why. Is this John McCain’s overall demeanor? A cursory search on The Google, give no indication that that is the case. However, that same cursory glance reveals that other bloggers have noticed the lack of eye contact. I have a serious mistrust issue with anyone who will not look anyone in the eyes while they’re speaking to them.

Netscape Navigator….wo0t!
My online bud Jeremiah and fellow digger, has landed a paying gig as a Netscape Navigator! Congratulations and kudos to him. Say what you will about getting paid to post but you should already know my feelings about it. I know as a fellow tech geek that Jeremiah writes well and loves technology, especially Linux, and that this paying gig will allow him to feed his addiction to tech. Way to go bro!

Merit Badge in Copyright Law?
When I first read about this in one of my many RSS feeds, I figured it was a hoax or it came from The Onion. I quickly moved on because after all, I have more important stuff to do than laugh…right? It wasn’t until I read a few more similar titles about a merit badge in copyright, that I started thinking, is this for real? It turns out it is!
Does the movie industry really think that piracy is what’s keeping us from going to the movies? Let’s see. The last time I went to an actual movie theater (about 3 years ago), it was approximately $10 a person just to get in. This didn’t include the tub o’ butter popcorn that will stop your heart and the gallon size soda with enough sugar in it to fuel a nuclear reactor. What did I get for my money? A floor sticky enough to keep me on it if they turned the movie theater upside down, a chair that looked like it used to belong to Archie Bunker, a screen that was slightly out of focus, a screen that had black marks in it that distracted from the movie, neighbors that insisted on talking all through the movie, a cellphone that apparently didn’t have an off button, a persistant cougher (I can empathize with this since I’m actually in the throes of a coughing spell), and no guarantee that I would actually like the movie. (note: I was actually going to go on, but I remember learning about run-on sentences in high school)…
All this and movie *star* salaries continue to rise. I’ve been on this older movie kick, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Citizen Cane. You know, when it was about the acting. It was those actors that deserved the mutlibazillion dollar salaries….Orson Welles, Bogart, Bacall.
Come to think of it, except for screen size, I can’t think of a compelling reason to actually go to a movie theater and it’s not because I pirate movies either. I actually can’t think of any movies that I would take the time to pirate because most aren’t really all that good….

It turns out a fellow blogger and computer book author needs some help. Her California license plate was stolen off her car in Healdsburg. If anyone has seen it:
let me know or if you have it, you can mail it back to her….no questions asked.

Granted all of the mp3’s will have an extension of mp3x and you’ll need their proprietary player with an always-on internet connection to play them, but damned if this isn’t good news…
