Have you ever been in one of those meetings where it seems that everyone in the company is there, even though they don’t need to be? I think everyone has and it is especially frustrating when you are one of the ones that doesn’t really need to be there...
June is just a week away. That’s insane. It’s cliché to say it, but time goes so fast. My son is already four months old, and my daughter is getting hilariouser by the moment. (I know some of you may not consider hilariouser a...

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...
