Tab Dump – 4/29/2012
Since the advent of the tabbed browser interface, I have admittedly “over utilized” the tabs feature – something that those who know me IRL have quite frequently noted over the years (read: “OMFG-Y so MANY tabs?!”). As one who previously used bookmarks with similar zeal, I often finding myself accumulating tabs over several weeks as… Continue reading Tab Dump – 4/29/2012

But we… Continue reading Touchpad Mod Upgrades – Bump to Cyanogenmod Alpha 2 and WebOS 3.0.4 while maintaining dual boot heaven (easy)
Another weekend gone…
And as you may or may not know, this is a subject I am not generally super happy about… Here I sit, 30 until midnight – acting as if I am a 4yr old fighting sleep. Unlike a 4yr old fighting sleep, I am not tired. I just do not want to go quickly nor… Continue reading Another weekend gone…
A New Home
So, this is the first post of mattezell.info in its new home. I decided to export my posts from my wordpress.com hosted account and post them to my newly, self-hosted WordPress install. Of course, the next logical step in this process is to post the first post of mattezell.info v2.0 (ok, so perhaps like v12.0,… Continue reading A New Home

ASP DropDownList DataBind Woes – Invalid SelectedValue Error
Yesterday, as I was plugging away on an ASP WebForms application to add some new features, I encountered an error I had not yet seen. “SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items” Although Googling turned up a lot of results, I could not really find anything that fit… Continue reading ASP DropDownList DataBind Woes – Invalid SelectedValue Error
