MVP & MVC simply put
This question seems to get asked a lot, this recent article on codeproject does a decent job of explanation as well as this article from Infragistics Guidisan Todd Snyder . If I was sum it up very simply, the different is entry point into the pattern...
The work\life balance and my absence of late.
For the first time in 7 years of blogging I almost managed no blog posts in a month. I (for fun) graphed the last 12 months of blog posts and sure enough the amount of posts has seen a steady drop. I then graphed all the posts I have made on weblogs.asp...
The design in TDD
Lately I've been drafting posts on my daily commute and post them up in batches (just in case you were wondering :). I recall an article (not sure where I read it) about Ron Jeffries and his ability as an 'alpha architect'. Such people are rare, the design...
IronScheme
I have been watching the development of IronLisp, a Lisp compiler for the DLR for a while now . A little while ago it was released onto codeplex and more recently the project was dropped and reformed as IronScheme (Scheme being a Lisp variant). Great...

MbUnit on Facebook
I'm rather hooked on Facebook, it's almost myspace meets friends reunited and is all all grown up :) It's a great place to connect with folks and it's really amazing who is on the site. Jamie mentioned it a while back but I have added a facebook group...
The dddark side
For the fun of it I spent most of this afternoon using this dark VS theme , and pushed the font size up a point. A few things I have noted. At first you don't see anything, my eyes are so used to lots of white that my retina was wide open and I could...
Writing some code that may already exist?
It's wild friday afternoon idea time but it's occured to me that a very cool R# feature could be a feature to keep tabs on you and suggest that the class/function your writing may have have previously been written and suggest posible matches for refactoring...
