A couple of weeks ago I moved to Stockholm, I quit my old job and started working at a new place. Just before the new job began I started to write about WPF and the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) design pattern but I never finished that article. I will not finish it either, because of the simple fact that there are loads and loads of articles around, describing these subjects much better than I managed to do.

Please note that I haven’t quit writing just because of the silence around here lately. I will still write about programming, mostly .NET Framework, as before.

I have a new article being published in a couple of hours, I hope… This one is much smaller than the unfinished one mentioned above, so please check back in a little while and there will be a short article about WPF, MVVM and a problem concerning UserControls when using that design pattern.

Last night the site move was completed. There will for sure be some configuration left to modify, but the site is up and running again.

As some of you may have noticed the activity around here has been slightly modest lately. A lot of things have been going on leaving the writing of articles behind and now freddes.se will move to a web hosting service instead.

By moving freddes.se I will still have the chance to pick up the writing again. Let’s see if there will be more articles published here later on… I have a couple of things in my head and maybe some day…

Anyways, the site will still be around for a while but there will be glitches in the up-time during the move of course.

Yesterday I noticed that some of the internal links on the site have disappeared after a WordPress plug-in upgrade the other day.

I’m really sorry about this, but unfortunately I can’t do anything about it but to look around the site and regenerate the internal links.

Due to problems with VMware Server 2.0, freddes.se has been down for a couple of days. I decided not to dig into the problem but instead back up to a working configuration using VMware Server 1.0.X instead.

I’m sorry for this, but now the site should be up and running again. During the following days the site may be a little unstable due to maintenance, but I really really hope it will run smoothly again soon.

The crash caused the next part of the MVC web service design article to be delayed. I will try to publish this in a couple of days.

In this article I will explain how to implement a custom SOAP extension to be able log all incoming and outgoing SOAP messages passing through a .NET web service.

Sometimes the IIS log file is not enough when debugging or looking for errors in a web service. Let’s say that the web service works like a charm in the development environment, but then when a third party user starts invoking methods in the production environment it stops doing what it was built for. Then you have a need for this little extension, letting you log and analyze all incoming messages as well as the outgoing.

Today I decided to install WordPress instead of Joomla!. Not that I didn’t like Joomla!, but WordPress has less stuff to configure and is more suitable for my needs.

I will soon start to import things from my old Joomla! site.
