Does anyone remember the code name for VS.NET 2002?

I was part of the EAP, but I cannot remember the code name... This is driving me crazy...

 

You gotta love multitasking

Ok,  so I am currently:

  • Downloading Windows XP for MSDN
  • Installing windows 2003 in a VPC
  • using FeedDemon to read blogs
  • Downloading Hibernate using FireFox
  • Writing this blog using my Tablet PC

Does anyone remember Windows 3.11 where you couldn't touch the mouse while downloading something (either from a BBS or the internet) because the download would crash.

Wow, we've come a long way...

 

My eyes! My eyes!!

Ok, its been a long time since I've seen old-school ASP code (and even longer since I've written any [Thank God] ) which is why yesterdays daily WTF kills me.  Not only is the SQL completely jacked up but I can't believe there was a day when I thought it was ok to mix presentation code, VB Script, and  T-SQL together!

Damn!

Good Luck Man!

Cataloging Web Services at work

Does any one have a good method for cataloging web services?  I know that UDDI was to be the defacto Web Service discovery mechanism, but it seems like it doesn't have much momentum anymore.

What is everyone out there doing?  I'm not sure if I want to do a programmatic catalog where people/applications can consume/query it, or if regular list (using InfoPath, Excel, or Word) is good enough.

Anybody have any ideas?

Ever wonder how the lock keyword came about.

If you have, (or hell even if you haven't) go read Eric's post on How an idea becomes a C# language feature?

Excellent reading!
