Installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 or Windows Phone tools in your VM (danger!)
If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you probably know that I tend to develop stuff in a Parallels VM on a Mac. It's how I roll. I like VM's because I can trash them and do really stupid things with beta software. That said, there is a pain...
Current technology stack
Every once in awhile, I feel like I've changed enough stuff around the technology that I'm using to take a sort of inventory. Mostly I just want to be able to refer back to it the next time I feel compelled to do so. In terms of hardware, the last year...
The Silverlight 3 development experience, ups and downs
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...
Why I hate Windows today
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...
Understanding the benefit of a good IDE

ReSharper 4.0 is out!
The best $199 you'll ever spend if you use Visual Studio... http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/
I'm late to the party: C# 3.0 rocks
I know this is lame, but whatever. In my day job we haven't jumped beyond .NET v2.0, which I think is reasonable. In my own part-time self-employment projects, I haven't really developed anything new either, at least not on the server side of things....
ReSharper 4.0 beta posted
http://resharper.blogspot.com/2008/05/resharper-4-beta.html And there was much rejoicing... Truth be told, I never understood the need or desire for IDE plugins. Then about a year ago, one of my co-workers was demoing something and kept making changes...
Observations on VS2008, .NET v3.5 after four months
Wow, can you believe the new versions have been with us already for one-third of a year? Time flies! I launched a site using the new versions shortly after release, so I'm happy to say that my experience in production has been mostly positive. Here are...

Impressions of VS2008 after a couple of weeks
I've spent some quality time with Visual Studio 2008 now after two weeks, and I feel like I can give a more extensive impression of the product. Aside from my previous complaint about the FTP browser , I've really enjoyed working with it, but I do sometimes...
