I am planning to use Log4net in my WCF project, there i don't want to specify the config settings is it possible to specify below setting in different file apart from app.config of WCF file? Please confirm. Hi,

Really good post.. I am planning to use Log4net in my WCF project, there i don’t want to specify the config settings is it possible to specify below setting in different file apart from app.config of WCF file?
Please confirm.

Wanted to know if it is your intention to seek a meeting space in Washington, DC proper. Additionally, is there a proposed date for the meetup? Much thanks for your attention and reply.

One of the things I'm looking forward to in using Compass/Sass is spending less time building the basic skeleton structure of a site and more time understanding _why_ a particular structure works. Unfortunately, right now, I spend probably 90% of my time in CSS building up the basics to work in Chrome/Firefox, and then 10% trying to run around fixing small bugs/quirks. I'm hoping to leverage Sass to drastically cut down that 90% so that I can spend more time trying to understand why those small bugs/quirks are appearing in the first place (and how to fix them in such a way that I'm not just applying a band-aid). Nice blog, by the way. I just subscribed. :) Dave, I agree 100%.

Understanding things a few levels below the abstraction is a core characteristic of being a good developer :) If you dig a little further into Compass/SASS you'll find the true power lies in the ability it gives you to truly separate the presentation layer from the structure layer; that is: separating your HTML from your CSS. When your HTML is purged of presentational classnames and ID's you preserve the life of your markup by making a clean separation between style and structure. Simply put, using SASS allows developers to code using patterns that enable you to swap out the style layer the way that CSS was intended to. You _can_ do this with pure CSS but Compass and SASS make this far easier with abstractions, mixins and variables.

Unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell me that "having a blog" and "writing a blog" are two different things. I assumed that by simply throwing up a blog engine, it would magically start filling up with interesting and relevant postings. :) Yes, I do!

In terms of CC.rb, honestly, the things that I miss most from CC.NET are the robust documentation and the community.

Other than that, all is good. It seems from your post that you're actively developing on Windows. Any particular reason why (or did I musunderstand)? For CC.rb, what features were you looking for that CC.NET has? (I have exactly one commit to both, but still, maybe I can help ;)) Sadly, the Ruby world still hasn’t caught up with the Java world when it comes to IDE support. Other than that, all is good.
