Windows Updates, Monitoring, and ASP.NET...Oops! 

For those of you that are regular readers of this blog you will know that outages of the site are very, very rare with the past year showing almost 99.9% up time.  Well if you were around here this AM you will know that the record for up time was killed, with the sites being down almost 10 hours today.  In this post I'll talk a little about my experience with this as I know a number of other people across the world have experienced similar issues this morning based on my conversations with a few of them.

2011 Year in Review and a look at 2012 

Over the last few years I have been trying to keep a little bit better track of usage of the content here on MitchelSellers.com as well as just keeping track of other interactions that I have through User Groups, Open Source Projects, and the like. Each year around the end of the year I try to compile a few of these items, if not for everyone that is reading things here for myself to see how things progress year to year.

Upgrading MitchelSellers.com - A DotNetNuke Upgrade Retrospective 

For those of you that are regular visitors to this site you most likely noticed a number of changes to the site over the past 24 hours, including a small amount of downtime.  This was caused by changes surrounding the upgrade of this site to DotNetNuke version 6.1.2.  Now, I have worked on a number of DotNetNuke upgrades over the years, and I lost count a few years back at about 300 upgrades.  This site was by-far one of the hardest upgrades that I have ever completed and in this post I will share a bit around the growing pains that were experiences throughout the process.

DotNetNuke World and Blog Updates 

It seems that the past few months have just flown by and I haven't gotten as much time to blog here as I have wanted.  I hope to start changing that here in the next few weeks as I have a large number of items that I'm looking to get out here, just trying to find the time to get it done.  But with DotNetNuke world just a little over a week away I wanted to post a quick note here about the event.

2010 Year in Review and 2011 Preview 

It has been a little over two years since I did a "year in review" post, the last was completed in 2008.  I thought that it would be a good idea to start of 2011 with a review of the previous years and the items that I am proud of from the past year.  I'll then give an introduction into my plans for 2011 and the future of this blog.

Day of DotNetNuke An Apology 

It is with deep regret that I have to announce that I will not be able to attend/present at the Day of DotNetNuke event this weekend in Chicago.  For those of you that follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed tweets from me over the past 2 weeks talking about this horrible cold that I have.  Well, at this point I am still not recovered, with only 40-50% of my voice available and day-to-day still not feeling all that well I had to make a very hard decision.

In the end, I need to continue to take things slow and relax so that I can kick this cold and be able to resume my regular schedule.  I understand that this will be a disappointment to the individuals that were looking forward to my presentations as well as the individuals that I was working to arrange meetings with.  I am also deeply sorry for the stress that my cancellation puts on the organizers of the Day of DotNetNuke event.

Over the course of the next 3-5 days I will be taking all materials from my sessions and making them available here so that at minimum you will still have the ability to get the content that was to be presented.  I will post my PowePoint slide decks with notes that would have been my talking points.

For those of you attending DevConnections I am looking forward to that event coming up in just  a little over a month, and I WILL be there for that event.  Otherwise to everyone else again I do apologize that I will be unable to attend and hope that you truly enjoy the Day of DotNetNuke event, I know it will be a great success!

Want a Free MSDN Ultimate Subscription? 

Like other Microsoft MVPs I have been given a few MSDN Ultimate licenses that I can give away to individuals that I feel are deserving of it.  I have been arguing with myself for a while now about how to best determine who should receive the license, and have came up with a contest to give one license away to a reader of this blog.

Future Blogging on MitchelSellers.com 

Over the next few weeks you will see a much larger effort for me to get back to this blog and getting new content out. In addition, I have made a few category additions and changes with hopes of expanding the content of this blog a bit more. There will still be plenty of DotNetNuke related content, but I am going to try and get more content in the C# and Visual Studio areas, trying to share some tips and tricks that I use on a daily basis to help speed the development process. The following is a quick list of topics that I am working on, and will be getting posted soon, these are NOT listed in any order, so they could appear in random intervals. If you have other suggestions, please post them to the comments.
