jquery cookies

For anyone else having fun working with cookies in jquery who decided to use jquery.cookie as their plugin of choice; if you create a cookie
[javascript]
$.cookie(‘ro’,’awesome’);
[/javascript]
And then try to change it
[javascript]
$.cookie(‘ro’,’lame’);
[/javascript]
you may actually end up with a cookie that contains BOTH values.

Instead, try jquery.cookies (plural!) which does seem to update correctly. Or just write your own plugin; cookie manipulation isn’t that tough!

Simple.Data “No ADO Provider Found”

Whilst trying to get Simple.Data working with a teeeeny tiny app for work, I couldn’t get past Database.OpenConnection(…) ; each time would result in a “No ADO Provider Found” exception, which had me baffled.

Google wasn’t helping much as it just threw up the symbolsource copy of Simple.Data’s MEFHelper.cs – i.e., the exception itself.

With a bit more digging I found this post on the Google Groups board which looked hopeful.

Eventually I found out that I needed to Nuget (if I can use that as a verb) Simple.Data into whichever projects referenced the class library that uses Simple.Data.

Odd. Seems a bit unnecessary, but it works now so I’m not complaining.
