• A few thoughts on Avalon

  I spent a few hours working on the Avalon screen saver . The experience was a very good. After seeing some of the demos, I was very impressed with how easy it was to implement things. However, when it came time for me to use Avalon, it took me quite a... Posted Oct 31 2003, 12:26 AM by mihalik with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: .NET

• On my way to the PDC

  Well, I'm on the airplane on the way to the PDC so I thought it might be a good time to update my blog (updated once I land and get GPRS service, of course). Thanks the the grace of many people, I'm actually going the the PDC (thanks Sondra, Brian, Elton... Posted Oct 25 2003, 05:36 PM by mihalik with | with no comments Filed under: .NET

• All-in-one search tool: X1

  A few days ago, John Robb pointed to a new search tool: X1 . Since I often misplace my files and email, this is my new favorite tool. I can search for filenames and file contents quickly, without having to wait for the slow little dog. It also has a preview...

• Stupid time change.

  As I'm coding along I notice my computer says it's 3:10. It took me a very long time to realize where that hour went. I guess I should get to bed soon. I spent the evening trying to create a Visual Studio .NET tool window for an add-in that I'm working... Posted Apr 06 2003, 02:22 AM by mihalik with | with no comments Filed under: .NET

• RSS Remoting Windows Service

  I had a little bit of spare time this evening and decided to make my RSSLibrary work with remoting. I changed a few things and built an RSS Windows Service to test it out.
