Just found out about this, MonoDevelop is a port of SharpDevelop to Linux using Mono (more news) it actually looks pretty good, I am really going to have to try this out - I'm all for MS but some clients just won't consider using MS products, being able to…

Via Leon Jollans (on the MSWebdev list) - a really neat way to do ASP.NET like stuff in classic ASP...
I'm ALMOST decided that I'm going to move from full-time to contracting / free-lance work. Got my 'Start your own business' book, and am reworking my CV to be more suitable for this type of role...all I have to do now is actually get up the nerve to pack in my…
Chris Pratley posted this lovely long post on bugs and testing, he also covers some stuff about 'Watson' that little dialog which pops up when an application crashes inside Windows XP, very interesting stuff...I just wish an application block were avaialble…
Pretty sad really, why didn't they just accept it was planned...anyway, this article has the best pictures and the full story...(warning, contains picture of Justin Timberlake looking 'concerned' - not for the faint hearted)
I just love this...especially as I'm currently going for me V1.1 (wonder if I should use that title :-))...
Theoretically :-) if I wanted to become a consultant in the UK - how would I go about it, where would I find contracts? Does anyone know if it's possible to do this and still live in Scotland?
I'm aware this is a fairly controversial viewpoint, I should explain some of my own background as a precursor to my dislike of this. In the bad old days, I was a penetration tester; I ran my own little company which provided this service to a number of…
I'm really at the end of my tether with VS.NET and source control. I'm working from home this morning, accessing the office Sourcesafe over my VPN using SourceOffSite - fine, SourceOffsite is a great product, just VS.NET seems to just lock up totally when…
UPDATE: My code below of course has an error (I wrote it to test the perceptive skills of the community ;-)) anyway, Philip Reick commented with a more credible version: Hmm.. my bet is you came across it again after forgetting it because you threw it away. It…
Just thought this was pretty interesting - from Slashdot: An anonymous reader writes "CBC news reports that the effectiveness of 'sleeping on it' when faced with a difficult task may have more than just anecdotal roots. 66 students were trained to perform a…
I've been using Scott W.s little Amazon book control on this site for a while now - and it's pretty damn good, haven't made any cash from it as yet...but...well, it always bugged me that it was .com only as written - so if you were in the UK, by default it…
I have this command line app, when running in a 'normal' command window, it uses a fair whack of memory (around 60mb), but the second I minimize to taskbar, the memory usage drops to around 10mb....anyone any ideas why??? UPDATE: Apparently this has to do with…
My PDC envy is slightly abated...now I'll just have to get a new test machine (VMWare is cool and all, but you can't beat dedicated). Anyway, read all about it here at Bink. I really can't wait to play with some of the new Avalon stuff...This appears to be for…
Some very interesting stuff here. UPDATE: Just reading that article, things I'm looking forward to most are the URLMapping (Rewrite.NET is cool and all but it will be nice to have the new 'native' model) and 'No Compile' - I have been waiting for this for SO…
This strikes me as pretty useful...found here at Eric Gunnerson's blog.... Actually, looks like a fairly interesting discussion on the relative merits of this approach is happening there right now...
Just called up MSDN UK and asked for the PDC DVD, should be here around mid-November apparently. So if you're in the UK and an MSDN member (if you're not, get your company to join - only cost £520 if you join the 'Empower' ISV doohikey), call up now - you get…
Had this odd issue working on some code which uses XmlTextReader to pass through an XML string...basically, when I ran the code noemally, it worked every time, but when I ran in debug mode it would read the first node and skip all others. Well, this drove me…
Well, after a bit of playing I've got something working now, I'm no Win32 coder but this seems to work: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using…
Well, got my iPod exchanged...working perfectly now. Firewire just rules (as does USB 2.0 which I use at work) - got roughly 3000 songs transferred over in under an hour...this is really just the prettiest thing I've ever owned, I just can't fault the design…
