Among the features I love about Gmail is to be able to access multiple accounts w/o signing out and signing in. I’m late to learn this, but apparently you can do the same thing with Windows Live IDs. Same idea, straight forward. The bonus is that you...
I’ve been experimenting with build artefacts versioning for quite a while. Last time I was using major.minor.build.revision – this worked for us well, yet was not really significant for production operations. New place, new rules, and again into reviewing...
A while ago I had a conversation with a gentleman who resisted .NET development on the client side reasoning it that in case .NET framework doesn’t exist, installer won’t fail. WiX 3.6 Beta is out and it solved the “problem”. Reminds me of situation when...
Windows Phone, Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 7.5. And still no change. Consumer is not attracted. I hear a lot about cool features and awesome innovations on various .NET podcasts. A lot is written in MSDN magazine and different .NET developer blogs...

In general, NIHS (Not Invented Here Syndrome) is a negative for your core business. Trying to re-invent something that already exists and probably does the job 10 times better. But what happens when an existing tool doesn’t do it better, or it is not...
First impression is always important. I have decided to install Windows 8 in a virtual environment. Even though running it “natively” on a hardware is a better experience, I still wanted to see how well the hardware requirement was slimed down. Also,...
A while ago, the team I was part of had a discussion about choosing the best DSCM (Distributed Source Code Management). Two candidate back then were Mercurial (Hg) and Git . We were already using Subversion and very accustomed to VisualSVN in conjunction...
Mercurial is a very appealing distributed source code versioning system. I used it with Google code and also for some local work when no server repository was available. Worked great. This time I wanted to go through the scenario of setting up Mercurial...
JetBrains has released the beta version of their tool that can replace Reflector. Just the navigation around with R# like shortcuts is worth trying it. I tried Telerik’s JustDecompile , though it wasn’t as good as dotPeek. ILSpy is another player on the...
