As a developer, I often overlook what infrastructure changes are involved in a setting up a production website. As a user of free services like FreeDNS / DynDNS, I had never even registered a domain.
Over the past few days, that changed. In deciding to create this blog, I settled on WordPress. Getting WordPress set-up and running through Microsoft’s Web Platform installer was actually pretty easy. However, I soon discovered that it was lacking.

I’ve been asked a few times why would you use the ui-Router instead of the built-in ngRoute.
I, not so succinctly, explained that it was because it allows for states and nested/hierarchical views.

As anyone familiar with .NET web development is aware, Microsoft has tried to get security right many times. We’ve gone from its ubiquitous Membership model to its “simple” providers. Now, the latest, albeit it’s been around for a while, is its Identity framework.

This is my “hello world” first blog post. My blog will be, mostly, about software development. But, I am an avid runner, so don’t be surprised if a few posts about running or other random stuff creep in…

2013 has come and gone. What can I say about it? Quite a lot, really. Many different things come to mind. It has been a whirl-wind year with a ton of successes, accomplishments, changes, fun, love, family, etc.
Weight-loss and fitness, obviously, was the theme of the year for me and, you guessed it, is the primary focus of my year-end review.
The year started off on the right foot when we watched our first NCAA basketball game in January with visiting Memphis beating UT at Thompson Boling arena. That was awesome and boded well for the remainder of the year!

One day in early or mid-2012, I received a call from my doctor’s office after a routine physical. The nurse mentioned that the doctor was concerned about my blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels. The answer was to start taking prescription drugs to control these health factors.
I had been in denial about how being overweight was affecting me both mentally and physically. Defeat had been accepted. I resigned myself to a life of accepting whatever adverse health effects being overweight would bring. I was defeated.
This was a wake-up call for me.
