Be careful where you place your images on your website
Just found something interesting while researching a problem Dianne was having with a website SRT was working on. In checking various browsers throughout the office (FireFox, IE, Opera), a page looked ok on most of the browsers, but not all.

There's still the occasional hiccup that frustrates me and I'm really looking forward to Windows 7 – but for now, Vista works fine.

ReSharper: Access to modified closure
On the advice of Jay Wren, I decided to try our ReSharper 4.1. I had previously installed DevExpress' CodeRush and Refactor Pro. CodeRush was uninstalled in less than a week. There was nothing technically wrong with the product – it's a great product. It just didn't "jive" with the way I typed. There was too much "un-learning" that would need to be done on my part to really show CodeRush's power. The Refactorings rocked and I loved the graphical indicators it used while refactoring.
