		<title>ASP.NET MVC 2 R2 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So release candidate 2 (RC2) has been released. Most importantly from my point of view it fixes the breaking issue I had with RC1. From the release notes:
The GetValue method of the FormCollection class now allows empty string values.
Good on the MVC team for getting a quick turnaround on this and other bugs &#8211; it was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=140&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Acer easyStore Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most small businesses have more than one computer, but don&#8217;t have a particularly great backup regime &#8211; mainly because the server is just a normal desktop machine running Windows Small Business Server (if you&#8217;re lucky). But what if the hard drive fails on server? Can I recover my data (and how long will it take)?

I faced this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=115&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Warning: ASP.NET MVC RC FormCollection bug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: This post refers to ASP.NET MVC 2 R1. The R2 release on 4th Feb 2010 fixed the issue.
I started to update an ASP.NET MVC 1.0 application to the new MVC 2.0 RC but will now put off that migration for now &#8211; I&#8217;ll wait for the RTM which should fix this.
The problem is to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=128&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>IE8 Developer Tools are built in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The developer tools for older versions of Internet Explorer were a separate install. With Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the tools are built in. To access it, open them from the Tools menu or hit F12.
Apart from the tools we&#8217;re used to, here a couple new ones:

Javascript debugging works! There is also the console window (which [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.pureblue.co.nz&blog=2513886&post=91&subd=pureblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<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>

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>
