Chicago ALT.NET September 2008 Meeting

Register here.

Wednesday, September 10, 2008 from 06:00 PM - 08:30 PM (CT)

Inversion of Control for the masses

6:00 pm
Pizza and networking time

6:30 pm
John Nuechterlein (a.k.a. jdn) puts Inversion of Control (IoC) containers under the spotlight. If you have been noticing the increasing buzz around this technology but never had a chance to see what it is and how it can be used, this is your chance to see:

  • An overview of what IoC is, using StructureMap as the example
  • Why one might want to use IoC
  • How one can implement IoC
  • When one might not use IoC

7:45 pm
You may want to stick around after the presentation portion of the meeting and take part in our monthly open discussion. The topic is never arranged in advance but it's common that it reflects the content of the presentation.

Reasons to hate ESPN's SportsCenter #1 in a series

I should have started this one about 15 years ago.

So I'm having DSL problems (as in, Internet connection) which may very well be the subject of another post, and I figure, okay, I can watch the new morning edition of SportsCenter while the technician from the phone company pretends to do something.

And so, in the middle of highlights, they have a 5 minute interview with..... L.L Cool J.  New 'album' comes out in September (do they even make albums now?).  He's working out, eating healthy, and staying away from the drugs (though he will 'pop a bottle once in a while' don't get him wrong).

And I should give a f%^k because?

This reminds me of when I knew SportsCenter jumped the shark years ago, when they interrupted the sports highlights to go to a live musical performance by Alanis Morissette.

Pukey.
