Previously, I used "Joo ReCaptcha". That is very a good plug-in. But ReCaptcha got a bug in IE. When its captcha text field will disappear when I use jQuery.blur() or focus(). I used superfish menu. It used these two jQuery methods a lot. When I show the sub-menu, then captcha text field will disappear. I have spent a day to fix it but I cannot find a solution or work around.
Thus, I gave it up. I used another Captcha Plug-in which is not using ReCaptcha. That is OSOLCaptcha. This is very similar with ReCaptcha, but it can convert captcha text to speech. This may be some accessibility issue. Besides of this, that is very similar with Joo ReCaptcha. You just need to install the plug-in, then it will works in Contact form, login and register form. That is good.

I got a lot of error from a LINQ DataContext, such as "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed" . That is because I was using a singleton for DataContext in a multi-threads.
The codes like that:

I changed the DataContext in a pre-thread. I initialize the DataContext in each thread. The errors are gone! You also can do the DataContext in a pre-object. That is simpler.

I have written an example project in C#. This example will shows how to use Mutex Lock. Moreover, it will demonstrate how to create a thread with parameters. Please click here to download.

I am implementing a Windows Service. I did a foolish mistake. I opened the design view of windows service and drag-and-drop the Timer from toolbar. Because I need the windows service to execute some code periodically. I found the timer won't triggered at all. I found that is Timer in Windows.Forms. It never works in Windows Service. You need to create a timer of System.Timers. Like the example following:
