Well I thought I might try something new and blog about some of the juicy bugs we have found hanging out in our app.  This might turn into a blog series or something, or maybe not.  Who knows. The Bug The app I am currently working on has a page that uses ASP.NET AJAX's new Timer control to automatically refresh the page every 30 seconds.  The page is one of those status pages that lets you monitor the progress of some...
