Gravatars – Not on my site
Nov 30th
In my Google Reader account I have a few blogs that use the Gravatar icon linking in the comments section. Today I have finally fully decided that I will never (unless something changes) add these to my blog. Read the rest of this entry »
ASP.Net Regular Expressions
Nov 28th
The RegularExpressionValidator control is an often overlooked tool for validation. A lot of people look at the validation expression and are puzzled at how to proceed.

First lets take a look at the two phones.
