In many cases when using ninject on an ASP.NET site it makes sense to configure ninject to use Request Scope for its default object scope. (more info:  https://github.com/ninject/ninject/wiki/Object-Scopes ) When searching for how to set Request Scope as the default object scope, I could not find any code snippets to accomplish this. I found many snippets that would set scope for an individual binding: kernel . Bind < IService >(). To < Service >().InRequestScope(); But no examples of how to set request scope as the default for all bindings. Here is a code snippet of how I accomplished this: kernel .Bind(i => i.FromThisAssembly() .SelectAllClasses() .BindDefaultInterface() .Configure(x => x.InRequestScope())); Hope this helps, Aaron

When you send an email from MailChimp they will customize each email with an unsubscribe link specific to the "To" email address.  However, you can also provide a generic unsubscribe link if you'd like to include that on your website or other communication. The generic link can be found after selecting a list, choose the "Signup Forms" tab, then choose "Unsubscribe Form" from the drop down list.  The link is available in the "Unsubscribe from URL" textbox. More information here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/where-can-i-find-the-unsubscribe-link-for-my-list/ Hope this helps, Aaron

I had a need to pretty-print  an array of arrays while parsing some JSON recently. I couldn't find anything I liked, so I thought I'd post what I ended up with here to save others some time. https://gist.github.com/aaronhoffman/4232d28b769b3e95b143cf609a9e27cc Example Output: [[1,2,3],[3,5,7],[2,4,6]] [[1,2,3]] [[1,2,3],[3,5,7,9,11],[2,4,6]] public string PrettyPrintArrayOfArrays(int[][] arrayOfArrays) { if (arrayOfArrays == null) return ""; var prettyArrays = new string[arrayOfArrays.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < arrayOfArrays.Length; i++) { prettyArrays[i] = "[" + String.Join(",", arrayOfArrays[i]) + "]"; } return "[" + String.Join(",", prettyArrays) + "]"; } Hope this helps, Aaron
