• Finishing the last few courses of a geek buffet

  I’ve been in mad scientist mode for a few months now and especially over the last few weeks, feeding off of every interesting thing I could find / read. It’s the binge. You know it. You know how it usually ends up – a million ideas, too much to do, and... Posted Jan 05 2009, 08:00 AM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, Entreprenuership

  My friend Corey Haines recently embarked on an interesting experience. He has spent the last three weeks traveling around the central midwest pair programming with people that would put him up for a few days. I’ve been watching the videos and the twitter...

• LINQ-ify Anything

  When I set out to write my ORM, I had two guiding principles: 1.) Loose Coupling was key. I wanted the result of the ORM to be loosely coupled, and I wanted any dependencies the ORM had to be loosely coupled as well. 2.) I wanted 1 and only 1 query language...

• dashCommerce v.Next

  I’ve been fairly quiet over the last few months. Most of that is due to the new addition to my family (my new son, Harrison), but some of it is because I am in mad scientist mode. That entails a ton of reading and prototyping. I’ve been taking a close... Posted Nov 22 2008, 01:42 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, dashCommerce

• NullPaymentProvider added to dashCommerce

  A few days ago I added a NullPaymentProvider to dashCommerce.

• What a Great couple weeks!

  I’ve had a pretty good couple of weeks. I don’t feel as though I talk a whole lot about “me” on this blog – most of it is related to dashCommerce, which is ok, but occasionally I like to peel things back and throw some personal stuff out there. The first... Posted Nov 01 2008, 11:35 AM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, dashCommerce, Personal

• dashCommerce Conference Call Anyone?

  I had an idea tonight as I was chatting with Yitzchok and louisd - why not have a dashCommerce Conference Call? We can use Skype and I can include 24 others.

• dashCommerce - Giving even more to the community!

  A couple of weeks ago I went around and contributed to just about every open source framework / assembly / tool that dashCommerce uses except for 2. One because they never got back to me on how to contribute and another because the project leader is a...
