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...
For the first time since -- ummm -- since ever, I am looking forward to an upcoming conference call. And I'm really looking forward to it. I don't want to say too much, yet, because I want to get some very basic details ironed out...
I'm using this post to test PreCode -- a code snippet formatting plugin for Windows Live Writer. It uses SyntaxHighlighter on the client side and this plugin just sends the needed code to my blog engine. As a test I thought I'd just add...
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. ...
Anyone know if there is a way to remove the Windows-Q hotkey from Office Communicator? That is my hotkey of choice for one of my favorite utilities (SlickRun). With Communicator "stealing" this hotkey, I've had to map SlickRun...

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...
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the first ever Fox Valley Day of .NET in Appleton, WI. I'm planning to attend, and if you're anywhere in the area, and are a software developer, I'd recommend you go as well. They have a good looking lineup...
Gerry recently posted an interesting article about the mindsets of software developers and software companies. We had talked about this same topic on the phone for a while a couple days ago. The same phrase that jumped out at me then also...
I don't remember how I found it in the first place anymore, but I recently started listening to a new podcast called PC Load Letter . It's two guys that used to work together on Subversion (and now work together at Google) talking about...
Over the last 18 months or so, Microsoft has been releasing things faster than I am able to keep up. Work keeps me really busy, and when I get home, I really haven't been in the mood to write any code or really learn anything. That said...
If you attended a VS2008 InstallFest in the last couple months and registered your trial copy of VS2008, you have probably received the final media in the mail in the last day or two (or probably will in the next day or two). Someone sent me a note...
For two unrelated projects I am looking into server virtualization. Both are for production systems and are not developer or consumer focused. Most of the conversations I've had about VMs so far have been in the context of software development...
I'm very happy to announce that registration for Deeper in .NET 2008 is now open . You can visit the site now to get the latest info and register to attend. Lots of the info is still in the works, but there is definitely some good info out there...
