    Microsoft 10 Awakens!
    My boss, Jeff and Scoble just blogged about the launch of 10 ! The short answer for 10 is that it's a site for technology enthusiasts. That may seem very general, but it is on person. We will be covering pretty much anything that's interesting related...
    MIX.06 Video on Channel 9
    Curious about the upcoming MIX conference? Not sure if you should be excited or not? Check out the video on Channel 9 about it .
    Guid.TryParse in .NET 2.0?
    Sadly, the answer is no. I submitted a feature request towards the beginning of the release of the product feedback center . A few minutes ago, I got a toaster message on messenger saying one of my items had been updated. I clicked it and even though...

    Take Your ASP.NET 2.0 App Offline
    I just learned this a few minutes ago, but you can take an ASP.NET 2.0 application offline temporarily by uploading a file called App_Offline.htm. It will spin down the appdomain and redirect all requests to that page. Neato!
    Atlas Behaviors
    So, in the current tech preview of Atlas they've added a "new" idea of a declaritive code model. Ok, this isn't new. This is pretty much how XAML works. This is used for many things that I'll probably post about later. Behaviors are used to add functionality...
    We Want Better Http-ness
    HTT-Penis! Definitely the funniest thing I heard from Don Box during his presentation! :P LINQ is really darn cool. Definitely changes data work as we see it today. Integrating data into languages (hence the name). Boundaries have been broken. I'm impressed...
    BillG Keynote
    I'm watching the Bill Gates Keynote at PDC right now (I'm not actually there) and it is VERY cool. Office 12 is lookin' really good. I can see the people lining up to write their own custom controls to mimic the new menus in the office line. Windows Vista...

    Get IP Address of Router?!?! (and List Network Interfaces)
    Ok, so I've been rummaging through System.Net in Beta 2 and I'm impressed. There's just a ton of new stuff that is rockin'! However, what I'm really looking for is a way to figure out how to tell if my machine's IP address is a real internet address ...

    Refactor! for Visual Basic 2005
    This is a really great refactoring tool that has now been released for free and will RTM when Visual Studio 2005 RTM's. This is great and welcomed news since it was announced a while back that VB 2005 wouldn't have native refactoring in it. The product...
