Jeffrey rambles about Rx, .NET and programming in general. : Time flies like an arrow in Script#: "Time flies like an arrow in Script#

As kouPhax requested this on the Rx forum, I decided to post a port to Script# of the Time flies like an arrow sample that ships with Rx for JavaScript.

Rx for JavaScript already ships with a binding for Script#, so that will make our lives a lot easier (you can find the binding in \Redist\ScriptSharp\RxJs.dll)"

How to share data between stored procedures

How to share data between stored procedures

Very cool article. Gives a table summarizing the methods.

Tsung

Tsung: "It can be used to stress HTTP, WebDAV, SOAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP and Jabber/XMPP servers. Tsung (formerly known as IDX-Tsunami) is a free software released under the GPLv2 license.

The purpose of Tsung is to simulate users in order to test the scalability and performance of IP based client/server applications. You can use it to do load and stress testing of your servers. Many protocols have been implemented and tested, and it can be easily extended. WebDAV, LDAP and MySQL support have been added recently (experimental).

It can be distributed on several client machines and is able to simulate hundreds of thousands of virtual users concurrently (or even millions if you have enough hardware ...).

Tsung is developed in Erlang, an open-source language made by Ericsson for building robust fault-tolerant distributed applications.

Tsung is supported by Process-One"

Create a self-signed SSL certificate with IIS 6.0 Resource Kit SelfSSL: "The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit version 1.0 was released 5/30/2003. It contains a utility called SelfSSL.exe for instantly creating and installing a self-signed testing certificate into IIS. The resource kit is freely downloadable from the Microsoft website. Although the tool is intended for IIS 6.0, it works just as well on IIS 5.1. It is so simple to use that no instructions are required beyond the pointer to the download."

Introducing SelectorGadget: point and click CSS selectors

Danny Burkes showed this in a demo today.

Introducing SelectorGadget: point and click CSS selectors: "SelectorGadget is an open source bookmarklet that makes CSS selector generation and discovery on complicated sites a breeze. Just drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark bar, then go to any page and press it. A box will open in the bottom right of the website. Click on a page element that you would like your selector to match (it will turn green). SelectorGadget will then generate a minimal CSS selector for that element, and will highlight (yellow) everything that is matched by the selector. Now click on a highlighted element to remove it from the selector (red), or click on an unhighlighted element to add it to the selector. Through this process of selection and rejection, SelectorGadget helps you come up with the perfect CSS selector for your needs."

The Kayak Framework: An easy way to speak HTTP with .NET

I'll have to look into this. It's like a thttpd for .NET/CLR.

With Kayak, you can skip the bulk, hassle, and overhead of IIS and ASP.NET. Kayak enables you to do more with less syntax, and is easy to configure to work in any way you care to dream up."
