A few days ago, ayende put up a post showing a bug that had been found in RavenDb that was causing the profiling tools to enter an infinite loop.

This was followed by a post about how this bug had come into being and survived so long.

So confession time, that’s my bug. I contributed the early code for the profiler.
Like many who were into computers “back in the day” I still maintain a nostalgic, warm and fuzzy feeling at the memory of early text based adventure games.
Back when all I knew were the PRINT and INPUT commands in QBASIC, these were the very first programs I created.
Where am I going with this?
It’s about 8 months since my first contribution to an open source project. It was followed up minutes later by one to reverse all the accidental formatting changes I made. Damn you Visual Studio!
The node-webkit project added a new feature yesterday, one which I requested. So I feel I should put up a quick post about it and why I think it could be useful.
I have been working on a more complete demo of creating a desktop app with NodeJS.
This one will use a full UI (KendoUI) and a Sqlite database to create a basic CRUD style app based on the Northwind dataset. Someone really needs to put together another (and actually well designed) standard database that people can use for apps like this.
