It’s been a week. A most enjoyable week spent in Noosa with my girl. The Sunshine Coast is awesome! The trip home was not quite as planned, thanks Qantas, but we made it.
Forgot to blog yesterday. The scoresheet is getting close to being feature complete. Can now add extra balls in the final over, navigation works well, except for one minor issue, but going to ignore that for now haha. I had high hopes for the knockout.mapping plugin, but there is some quite unexpected behaviour in there (i.e. specifying “copy” on an observable array so it maps it into the existing instance as a normal array makes all its children “copies” as well.) The persisted version is a very lightweight version of the view model anyways, so wrote a quick custom implementation. Very simple, very fast, easy to understand, no dependency on an external library, much better!
Just created my Azure account for my BizSpark MSDN subscription. It is just so cool that Microsoft are giving me all of this software for free. They’ll get their money out of me, of course, but it makes life so much easier for now!
So much to learn about Azure for now anyways. Got to try and remember as much as possible from the 2 day Azure course I did earlier in the year, plus Azure Service Bus, etc, etc!
Not sure how much of that will get done today. Going to go to the gym, got to leave at 5, want to set up a seedling propagation tank for a vege garden, set up a new fish tank to move that damn guarami out.
