I started a little science project for CoasterBuzz about a week ago or so. I wanted to build a little Silverlight app that sucked down updates of all kinds, and make it live outside the browser. There are constantly new posts, topics, news items and photos...
I know there are plenty of excuses that people come up with for Windows, but why does it suck so much? It always seems to get in the way of doing anything. Today I did a fresh VM install of XP so I can use it on the new job (by the way, unattended install...
Tyler posted a link to a blog post about someone preferring a text editor over an integrated development environment (IDE) . Naturally, my first thought is, wow, who thinks like this? My first real exposure to development work was with the old ASP, which...

There are three things that they didn't fix. 1) It's still slow. Really slow. That's made worse by... 2) When it can't connect, it just locks up VS and you're screwed. End process. Forget whether you should check the "passive mode?" Save your work first...
The cats at JetBrains imply that ReSharper 3.0 works in VS2008 , but really, well, not so much. It seems to have a hard time seeing properties in a code behind of objects on the page. I swear I remember encountering that in 2005 as well, but I don't remember...
