Bots
Tutorials.
The issue of what counts as “acceptable behavour” while using a tutorial is hardly a new one. Books have been written on the manner, and greater philosphers, politicians, and poets than me have tackled the issue. Today my esteemed colleague and I had a disagreement over this issue.
The argument: does pressing Escape, clicking on the “bots” tab, and then clicking on “add bot” qualify as acceptable behavour on a tutorial: ie behavour that we, the developers, should predict and make arrangements for. Or does it qualify as LUDICROUS BEHAVOUR that no idiot in their right mind would try and therefor a waste of this programmers’s PRECIOUS TIME to solve.
I rest my case.

Anyone with the kind of mind that would consider such a stunt is probably well aware that doing so could cause the tutorial to go epicly wrong, and may in fact very well be doing it precisely so that it will. I think it would be cruel to fix any amusing bugs which might ensue, and if it’s just a crashing thing, then serve them right.

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I visited a lot of website but I think this one contains something special in it.
