I've just switched my blog over to a new host. Finally saying goodbye to blogger after more than 7 years.
The new setup is Jekyll hosted on GitHub.
Hopefully I didn't trigger "new" posts in your feed reader.
I still have some older posts to tidy up, but overall the process has gone fairly smoothly.
I'm looking forward to getting some new posts on here soon. See you then!
Next week, after more than 11 years, I will be leaving Quids in search of a new adventure. In fact I will be hoping to roll two adventures into one, a new job and a new country.
I’ll keep this blog post relatively short so if you want to talk details drop me an email at [email protected]
I finally got around to purchasing a domain for this blog today blog.csainty.com and so this is just a quick test post so I can make sure feeds and the like have all been repointed.
Nothing to see here.
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!
Just a quick FYI to let people know I am now on Twitter with my own account @csainty.
Up until now I have been using the @quidsmobile account for a mix of personal comments and supporting gReadie. It will go full-time WP7 app support now.
All my blog posts will be announced on my new personal account, along with other little comments on programming and tech.
I have been invited to speak at November's User Group in Sydney (link).
I will be talking about some of the techniques and tools I employed when tuning the performance of the Harris Technology website (link).
This will include Caching, Coverage Profiler, Load Testing etc
If anyone has any specifics they would like to know about, drop me an email or leave a comment and I'll see if I can include it.
I have stated in public before my love of Textpad for developing HTML/CSS. It is small, clean, fast and has served me well for a long time.
I have trialed some other tools, such as Dreamweaver and Visual Web Developer Express, but they have all lacked, in my limited explorations at least, one feature that would really make them useful to me.
Hi All, A quick first post to add some content onto my blog so I can start trying out a few of the options.
My name is Chris Sainty, I currently work for Quids Technology (link) in Newcastle, Australia. My recent focus has been on moving our web products onto West Wind Web Connection (link).
Hopefully I will get some real content on here soon, so sign up to the feed (link) and stay tuned.
