Classic ASP (which IS still alive) - and parametised queries

March 23rd, 2007

Ok, this is an entry I’ve been meaning to write for a while, but have just never got around to. Getting the motivation to actually write takes an effort after spending every day looking at a screen - hence the complete lack of updates since I got the new site design up and running. Anyway, now that I have a couple of days off, I thought it time I get back to writing some blog entries.

I’ve long held the belief that if something works, don’t mess with it. If something does everything you need it to, and does it well, I reckon it’s a good idea to stick with it.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my justification for a sentiment that will probably rile a lot of people: I like classic ASP. It works well for a lot of things. continued…

Work in progress

Ok, well, the updates have been a bit thin on the ground (better things to do than sit around in the summer at a computer) - and to be honest, the site’s looking a bit ropey. So, time for a rethink and a redesign.

Over the coming weeks I’ll be completely rebuilding the site based around Wordpress 2.0. At the moment, the site uses Wordpress 1.5 - but only as a backend. All the frontend code is handbuilt from the ground up. It was built for a specific purpose - for my quick jaunt around the globe - and as such was a bit of a rushed job - it served it’s purpose well, but has some problems. continued…
