I was just trying out this piece of code:
dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject( ) {
FirstName = "Oliver",
Name = "Sturm"
};
This doesn’t work! Not sure whether that’s intended (this is VS 2010 beta 2, in case you’re wondering), but it really seems like a feature that should work… of course, if you’re not familiar with the ExpandoObject, this piece of code does work:
dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject( );
expando.FirstName = "Oliver";
expando.Name = "Sturm";
…
I just realized that I haven’t actually blogged about this: the ASP.NET product training for DevExpress that I’m doing! The reason I forgot is that I’ve been extremely busy preparing all the content and all that — a work in progress for a long time now, but still a surprisingly great effort to get done. Monday is the first training class in Leeuwenhorst in the Netherlands. Title: Business Applications with DXperience ASP.NET. When we first announced this (we’re partnering with John Martin’s …
The first European DevExpress training I announced recently was booked out so fast, it was almost unbelievable… so we set up a few more! We’re going to be in London, Frankfurt, Zurich and Paris early next year. Find the announcements here, or go directly to the detail page with the option to sign up. If the first class is any indication, seats may go quickly. There’s also an early-bird offer until November 26th, so better not leave it too long! …
Liam twittered about VirtualBox a little while ago — not the first time I’d had a look at their page, but it’s been a while, so I went back. I’ve been a VMWare user for more than a decade myself. Always found it brilliant how I could take over a VM from one machine to another, and I have some VMs archived from 1998 or so, created on a Linux host at the time, that I can now still use on my Mac. I admit the need is rare, but the possibilities are great :-)
Anyway, so I thought let’s have a look …
Weird behavior I just observed. I’m still fighting a hd crash I had last week in my file server and I’m now ready to set up a raid5 array on the machine. So I use this command to set the array up: mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 --auto=md /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 For some weird reason, /proc/mdstat now tells me this:
md1 : active raid5 sdg1[3] sdf1[1] sde1[0]
626304 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_]

My English language readers will have to forgive me for posting something in German for once — I just found this extremely funny text in an old email and I don’t want to lose it. Die Quellen dieser Texte sind mir nicht bekannt — ewig her, dass ich das zum erstenmal gelesen habe. Hat aber nicht nachgelassen seitdem.

Yet another “note to self” type post. I was just fumbling around with Mailman, and for some reason the web frontend was always redirecting me to http://foo.com, while I had been working on the options at http://www.foo.com. For some other reason that I didn’t really look into, even though my server redirects foo.com to www.foo.com anyway, no changes were persisted that way. I was additionally confused because my mm_cfg.py configures the default url host to www.foo.com explicitly. I …
