A Blog Is Reborn
Ok, I started off with the best intention of blogging more regularly but 18 months between blog posts was not quite the cadence I was aiming for! Shortly after setting up the blog I rebuild my machine and completely failed in setting up Octopress, following my own steps in ["A Blog Is Born"] just wasn’t working, I was encountering more problems than I knew how to fix I think because most of the tools weren’t playing nicely with each other on Windows so I gave up in a huff until an easy solution came along.
TFVC and NuGet Updates
At some point, for no obvious reason, I kept encountering an error when updating some NuGet packages, the error (TF14092) was basically telling me a file could not be modified as there was a pending delete. Experience has taught me that there is generally a reason for sudden changes in behaviour and after a little analysis I eventually worked it out.
A Blog Is Born
So I've decided to start a blog, not for the first time, I've had a few attempts on a couple of different platforms from a custom web app to Umbraco and I've probably got stuff on Geeks with Blogs and Blogger too. This time I'm going for an Octopress and GitHub Pages combo and I know little of either! Thankfully both are fairly well documented and hopefully be able to learn a few things along the way.
