I'm rebuilding my computer after a hard drive failure, and I keep running into issues where things I've taken for granted are missing – things such as the "VS Command Prompt Here" Windows Explorer context menu items. Years ago, Scott...
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...
I have an HTC Windows Mobile phone (touch screen + keyboard). For the last several weeks, I’ve been using a trial version of Twikini to access my Twitter stream . I really got to like it. There are a few things I’d like improved. For...
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...
On Friday, April 17, Jeffrey Palermo will be giving a full-day seminar on ASP.NET MVC at UWM in Milwaukee. The event isn’t free, but is affordable at $125 – cheap for a day-long training session, especially from someone of Jeffrey’s caliber. If...
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...
This is pretty exciting. Chris Pietschmann , an MVP, a friend of mine, a committee member of the WI .NET Users Group , developer of Virtual Earth controls , and an independent consultant I have worked with in the recent past, has three MSDN Premium...
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...
