Great post from
Russ Olsen on unit do's and dont's. I am alone in my thinking that TD.NET for Eclipse (to help run XUnit frameworks like JUnit and RUnit) would really rock these guys?
WinFx Beta 2 and EID May CTP have touched down, my upgrade path to these will be a lot slower than recent times. I note as well that Jesse has posted a rebuke on a WPF\E article, well worth a read.

Via Sam] Charlie and the NUnit folks have been hard at work and
NUnit 2.4 alpha has been released, this release adds CollectionAssert and a few other interesting features. Of course you know what I am going to say, MbUnit already has CollectionAssert ;-)
One of the SubText folks has
a write up of CI with CCNet and how SubText is using it.
London was the venue for a Geek girl dinner last night, it does mention running one here in Manchester. If males can attend I'd be interested in going along, for other geeks in the Manchester area Phil knows them all :)
Been a slow down in blogging from recent months, in the day job I am spending my time back with asp.net rather than WPF (and it feels like going back to an old pair of slippers), spending a bit of my spare time looking at Atlas and its good to focus on this after so much time around WPF. My personal time has been consumed with personal matters (one of which was the arrest of the scum that robbed my car, the blood came in handy after all) and now the summer is here a lot of time outdoors.
A few things to cover, on the blogs I noticed that CodePlex has been announced and Jamie's link to Charlies post on the NUnit Lite project that will be hosted on it. I am not sure how it will all work but VSTS in OSS makes a lot of sense given the scale, depth and global nature of OSS. The OSS license that CodePlex uses may cause a lot of OSS projects to stay put, the zip/libpng license that NUnit and MbUnit both use would work in the MS ethos and I really think MS should consider adding other licenses.
Jamie's getting ready for something big, I can't say what yet but he's been cooking it for ages, a few days more and all will be revealed.
This post I found on John Lim's blog about learning to be a better coder. Lisp is a very powerful language and you can do some crazy things with it, one of my loves with Lisp is CLOS. Objects that can modify them selfs (not only data but structure also) means that you can write code that adapts it's self, it's really no wonder that despite being some 40 years old it's still one of the languages of choice (the other being Prolog) for AI.
[Via Wayne] The long awaited CTP is available.
Update: The installer is currently not working and your mileage with it may vary a lot, MS are working to upload a fixed version.
I am researching using Remoting over WCF for TCP transfer of medium to large ADO.NET structures, I would like to understand any gains that 2.0 has brought to Remoting and any gains that can then be made using WCF, I am interested in security, performance and flexibility gains but this service would be a pure TCP service. Has anyone else done any work in this area and can share their experinces, any links that are worth looking at?
