I've been writing code with curly braces for a dozen years or so, starting with C++ in college, then JavaScript for many, many years, and for the last few years, C#. In all that time, I have been a fan of putting the opening curly brace on the...
I'm very excited to announce that we are planning the first ever GiveCamp in the Milwaukee area: GiveCamp MKE . In fact, it's one of the first GiveCamps anywhere. "What's a GiveCamp?", you ask. In short, it is an opportunity...
I've been using the free version of TimeSnapper off and on for some time now, but pretty regularly over the last few weeks since I started my new job. I'm doing billable work again, and am notoriously bad at getting my time entered. ...
Just got a book in the mail from Amazon: Embedded Programming with the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework . It was only about $6 from the "Used and New" section of alternate sellers. An upcoming project at work is currently planned for Compact...
Silverlight 1.1 becomes Silverlight 2.0 . (Thanks for the heads up , Dave.) Now I just have to find a way to get to Mix '08 next year.
What software do you use for issue tracking (feature requests, bugs, etc.) and help desk? I'm looking for something here at work. Has anyone used Axosoft OnTime ? I don't want something hosted as a service (I want to install it here). Also, I...
Dave Bost just e-mailed and posted about this -- Microsoft is making the source code to the .NET Framework available. From Scott Guthrie's blog : We'll begin by offering the source code (with source file comments included) for the .NET Base Class...
Work has been killing me lately (the last several months), but things are starting to calm down and I think I only worked about 45-50 hours last week. I spent yesterday with the family at the zoo. Charlie has been to the zoo more times in her 12 months...
I'm on a roll here with the little utilities... My dad called the other day as he was leaving his office (in California). Due to the nature of his business and the way their network is setup, he and his team work with a large number of folders on...
Error: Method '~' of object '~' failed So yesterday at work , I was working with a sample app from one of our product vendors. The app was a VB6 Windows EXE showing how to interact with their equipment using sockets -- Winsock. Since I'm...
Many times I find myself with way too many files, folders and shortcuts on the desktop for things that I am currently working on and/or testing. That's in addition, of course, to the things I have on the desktop because I use them all the time. Because...
I was having issues with the built-in search in CS2007 . Basically it was loading a blank page (no HTML at all) instead of the search results page. I'm sure I could find some info about the issue in the forums, but decided I would take a few minutes...
I don't think I've written about this tool yet, but it's one of my favorites. Microsoft has release (on Codeplex ) a SQL Server Hosting Toolkit (it's free). The entire toolkit is, I'm sure, full of goodness, but there is one part in...
Early this year I posted a ZIP of stuff for IE context menus. I just wrote and added another menu item for checking or unchecking any checkboxes in the current text selection. The file is attached to this post. Download and use at your own risk. See readme...
I'm sure this is something I could fix given some time with my good friend Google, but time is something I don't have a lot of, and the problem isn't really that serious -- just annoying. In a nutshell, the icons in my Toolbox (VS 2005, not SP1) are ...
