I tried to create a Custom List. I had event receivers attached to custom lists and i got this:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column ‘Name’, table ‘[somesharepointcontentdatabase].dbo.EventReceivers’;
column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
I found out what this means and how to get around it.
Everyone’s done it. We get lazy, we’re pressed for time, or we otherwise don’t care enough to standardize our stuff. I can note this most prevalently in code, but it easily extends into design and every day life.
I cannot claim to be innocent of this crime, nor would I. It takes effort, experience, and an iron will not to cut corners in everything you do.
I went to college.
Shocking, I know. I did though, and on the lovely diploma that I earned and gently stuffed in a drawer somewhere it says that I am both a computer programmer and a systems analyst. What that means is not only am I (supposedly) competent at coding solutions, I am also (apparently) competent at looking at a system and figuring out how things should work.
I always chuckled in my Analysis classes. “Come on, this is all common sense!” I would proclaim. I took what the teacher said for a grain of salt and left it at that.
You heard me people: ruckus.
For those not in the know, I’m talking about the apparent browser version targeting that the IE8 team is going to be providing. This has caused a bit of a split amongst the web community. I won’t go into excessive detail over the topic, because there are others that have expanded upon it as much as humanly possible.
I’m sick of Crummy User Experience (CUE). I’m sure there are many ways to describe it, and everyone can relate. Crummy User Experience is a broad term that generally describes when you -the user- interact with something -web form, bank machine, car door, etc- and it sucked, or sucks depending on you’re lifes requirements.
Recently I had to sign up for a couple sites, I won’t say what ones because I don’t wish to bring them any undo ire. What they did wrong was no different than many other sites do on a repeated basis: they didn’t tell me what to do.
