As such, "Ho hum" would be a fitting word for any show that's covering them. Kinda funny how the first couple of posts were rather negative towards you for pointing out the obvious: MS needs to recover their innovation and stop duping others techs. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment19http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment19Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:52:14 GMTAbe, Bitter? I don't think so. I have general disinterest in new technologies at the moment, that is true. Mainly because I think that a lot of them are over hyped, and I have some really bad experiences with the stuff that is being out there. I don't think that bitter is the term for it, though http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment18http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment18Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:07:28 GMTMonorail on Hanselminutes: http://www.hanselminutes.com/default.aspx?showID=71 There is no DNR show on Monorail. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment17http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment17Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:50:35 GMTOren, why are you getting so bitter? You seem like you are becoming the worn-out, over worked developer who is annoyed at the world! http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment16http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment16Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:30:25 GMTI cant find it in the Previous Shows list now, but I remember listening to a DNR show about Monorail a year or so ago. I have been meaning to look at it ever since but no time so far! http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment15http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment15Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:42:07 GMTA few notes: * You might be interested in the FeedSync show. In theory, FeedSync is a universal "sync two data stores" library/web-based service that happens to work well with RSS. In theory. * By their own admission, DotNetRocks has a mix of pure technology shows and ... I don't know what to call it, "everything else" shows. So at best you'll be ignoring half of their content. * The Polymorphic Podcast (www.polymorphicpodcast.com) focuses less on technology, so you might like that one more. Or you may just have more reason to disagree with the content :) * You might like the OOPSLA 2007 podcasts. I'm digging through my queue and (back to back) are presentations by David(?) Parnas and Fredrick Brooks. Awesome. * This is starting to sound like a podcast recommendation post. You might like ArCast with Ron Jacobs (MSFT) - just exclude the obviously technology-focused shows. * Richard Campbell did mention (on-air) a while back that he needed to do a Castle show, but apparently that didn't happen. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment14http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment14Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:13:51 GMT" And no show about castle, in all these years. like I told you and Roy, the guys have their hidden agenda." like in conspiracy theory? :P http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment13http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment13Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:34:13 GMT@Ayende and Hammet, Have you guys ever approached *them* about doing a show on Castle? I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get plenty of shows from other people approaching them. And yes, it seems silly that they've done some far out things and done nothing with Castle and especially nothing with MonoRail. I don't think it's any kind of hidden agenda, I just don't think that the pair of them has much exposure to anything from the Open Source realm. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment12http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment12Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:51:37 GMTGetting back to dotnetrocks. I noticed they have had more than one show on DOTNETNUKE which is more like DOTNETPUKE. I recently did a CMS project with Cuyahoga which I noticed this site uses. That should definitely get a mention on DNR. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment11http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment11Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:26:48 GMTI think the main problem is that XML was not the correct format for the .dtsx file. The logging tells you just about everything you do not want or need to know. I recently upgraded VS 2005 to VS 2008 and low and behold you cannot open a .dtsx file in VS2008 which is a pain in the rear. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment10http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment10Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:06:32 GMTPaul, About SSIS, my arguments about it are not just the tool, but the whole concept. It is incredibly fragile, complex, hard to use, resistant to source control and team work. There are a lot of examples in the blog, and the tests have a lot more http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment9http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment9Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:20:34 GMTThat is a damn good point by the mighty Hammet. Why has there never been a show about Castle? They did Spring so why not Castle. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment8http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment8Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:28:34 GMTI did share your thoughts on SSIS at one point. I did a very large project which had many different flat file formats to one db and I nearly had a breakdown. I got my own KB article published about the size restrictions in .dtsx files. Recently I have been using it to migrate a non-normalised db into a fully normalised db and I have changed my opinion. In this scenario it is really easy. I do not want to write code to do this task. Using SSIS I can move things about visually. I can do things ultra fast. Is there a good example of Rhino ETL that I can look at? BTW I laughed at your comments about Biztalk and Sharepoint. 2 seriously overused and overvalued products.

Architecture, approaches to problem solving. Both in the tactical and strategic sense. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment6http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment6Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:17:24 GMTNice! Very interesting post. I am lately a-bit overwhelmed by the quantity of your posts and many articles in the net in general about yet-another-new-cool-frameworks. What i get from this topic is a very opiniated (and I like Orens opinion) summary of many different topics. kinda sorted-out list of topics. thanks. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment5http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment5Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:08:59 GMTSo what does interest you Oren? What excites you? What's your passion? http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment4http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment4Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:29:28 GMTAnd no show about castle, in all these years. like I told you and Roy, the guys have their hidden agenda. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment3http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment3Tue, 12 Feb 2008 02:11:09 GMTYour blog...I even read this post. Not Interested. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment2http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment2Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:41:08 GMTCongratulations for showing your appreciation for only the most abstract topics like nostolgia and Windows forecasting. I envy you. I think most of those topics you listed here are pretty neet, I wish I could just turn off my curiosity sensor and savor the sweet relaxation of absolute technology apathy like that. http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment1http://ayende.com/3136/disinterest-in-technology#comment1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:18:54 GMT
