		<title>Trade Me advertising &#8230; why?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trade Me has recently updated its design, which on the whole is pretty good. However, they have also added in third party, graphical advertising. The site always stood out above the rest (the likes of eBay for example) for its clean appearance and no-clutter approach. I can&#8217;t help but think &#8230; why add the ugly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=105&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>IE8 &#8211; Is your site prepared?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is set to be part of Windows Update in the coming weeks. For most people, that means an automatic upgrade from Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), probably not really noticing much difference.
So what&#8217;s to be prepared about? IE8 is more  &#8217;standards compliant&#8217; than previous versions, meaning that your website may not look [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=85&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Internet Explorer 8 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It must just be that time of year for software releases! Download from here. Just be aware that you will need to restart your computer as part of the install, which just goes to show how integrated the browser is in the O/S  (although Windows 7 is set to change that).
Just what a web developer needs [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=79&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ASP.NET MVC has reached RTM! I was kind of expecting Scott Guthrie to announce the final release, but instead it was only a small news item on the ASP.NET  homepage!
It has been a long time in Beta and as such I have stayed away from it until the last couple of weeks. There are enough new [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=72&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft Blueprints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled upon Microsoft Blueprints after looking at some sample code from Vertigo. Essentially it is a replacement for the Guidance Automation Extensions (GAX) from the patterns and practices group. GAX was an effort to allow architects to create templates and guidance for frameworks, components and patterns that may be used by a development team &#8211;  Blueprints is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=66&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Extract assembly from the GAC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are occasions where you may need to grab an assembly that is held in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), maybe so that you can deploy it as a private application assembly.
Browsing to the GAC using Windows Explorer (C:\Windows\assembly) it uses a special explorer plug-in to display the assembly names and versions. This plug-in does not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=61&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Christchurch Code Camp &#8211; Design with Paper Prototypes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent Christchurch Code Camp was a huge success &#8211; but I could be biased  
Here are the slides for the lightning talk I did entitled Design with Paper Prototypes. The Powerpoint has speaker notes attached so there should be a rough idea of what I was talking about.

It helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers quickly and easily. This is great for backup and for the whole laptop/desktop worker scenarios.
