This will be the sixth time we have destroyed it and we have become exceedingly efficient at it
I was updating the code and ran into some snags so I had to back it out.

Good news: Site works
Bad news: I'm going to have to do this again.

If you stumbled and fell down, it doesn't mean yet, that you're going in the wrong direction.
Only cowards use the test servers... Big Smile

No, it's part of the theme of the site...getting down and dirty with the code. All exposed.

We're actually working on getting some of those. It's much easier with IIS7 now that we can just xcopy the site around.

I'm testing this update on one of the last Vista SP1 .Net 3.5 no SP1 machines we could find: a random laptop of Erik's. Our servers are getting updated this weekend but us dev's have all upgraded already. Since SP1 requires some code changes from us (since we were bad) I want to get a new build out that won't break after the upgrade but works before the upgrade.

Transparency baby!

The site wasn't working for me just then, I kept getting prompts to provide my Passport information.

It would be really cool if they didn't "compress" their javascript (apparently, removing all the line breaks and shoving everything into one file constitutes compression nowadays).

Seriously, we're on a video site; everyone here most likely has broadband and saving a couple KB every hundred page loads (since JS is cached) really isn't going to make that much of a difference in the long run.
