It turns out that one of the many benefits of having the last name of "Key" is that this blog is a search result for people looking for keys to Windows. After reviewing the referrers to some of the blog entries, 1/4-1/2 of the referrers are different flavors of Google with a query string containing "Windows" and "key".
Very naughty, people!
(It could be worse -- my last name could be Spears or Aguilera....)
Chris Anderson talks about a spontaneous hardcore coding session w/Mr. Box, with the usual amount of secrecy and suspense we've come to expect the past few days.

Great paper describing features that we'll be seeing in C# in the Yukon timeframe. This is definitely the most complete document I've seen yet. Fun stuff!

A new beta of everyone's favorite free time tracker is available. (I'm not affiliated w/them in any way, just love the program.)

I added some links to some of my old emails that people may find useful ("Old stuff" section). I have some items I've sent to my mailing list over the past year that I should put here on the blog, but i'm not sure if I should post them as blog entries, "stories", or links to my web site.... Time will tell, I guess.
I picked up Samsung ML-1430 a few days ago for a paltry $150 after rebates. This thing is a 8M 15 ppm laser printer, folks! I'd been using an HP LaserJet 5L for years and had gotten to the point where I was only printing envelopes and things I couldn't wait to print at the office. Years ago paper started jamming and recently almost nothing prints because it only has 1M of memory, which apparently isn't enough to print a simple web page with a single graphic. (Yes, I'm serious.)
I saw the Samsung @ Best Buy and thought I might as well give it a shot. Wow -- very, very impressive. I'm printing everything now. I hadn't realized that I'd _stopped_ printing things at home, but that surely was the case. Some things feel a little "cheap", but I would expect nothing more from something so affordable. The fact that it can quickly print my documents (up to 16 pages per side, mind you) makes me a happy guy. If the thing dies in a few months I'll probably buy another.
