Best 404 page ever.

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/01/24

Very distracting: 404.

Thanks Julian (I just found out you also own a Dutch domain jmbk.nl/) for pointing to it (boy, some unproductive days ahead) and the cheat (in your browser, Open the JavaScript console, then paste and run the cheat code).

Thanks Romain for developing it.

When you read through his java script code files, remember that these french-english translations:

  • etat == state
  • tombe == fall
  • paraOpen == opened parachute
  • mort == dead
  • flocon == flake
  • taille == size
  • vitesse == speed
  • écrase == crash
  • marche == walk
  • neige == snow

.NET/C#: do not do “if (!Directory.Exists(path)) Directory.CreateDirectory(path))”

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/01/24

During code reviews, I often see people do things like this:

if (!Directory.Exists(directoryPath))
    Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);

or this:

DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(directoryPath);
if (!directoryInfo.Exists)
    directoryInfo.Create();

You don’t need the if statements here. Read the rest of this entry »
