Installing VS 2003 AFTER VS 2005
-
Like most developers, I've already upgraded to VS 2005. However, a product which I am releasing soon uses .NET 1.1 for the client side to ease installation. So I had to install VS 2003 after having VS 2005 installed. Luckily, and thanks to MS, it worked great.
Porting the client code back to 1.1 wasn't too bad. Recreating the project files was a pain, and realizing that the DataGrid is 2.0 only was a bummer. However, SourceGrid looks like it is going to work nicely.

Razr survives the washing machine
-
Following a long night of poker on Saturday, I started a load of laundry. After transferring it to the dryer, I heard a suspicious thumping and found my Razr had gone through the full cycle.
I figured it was dead, but I took out the battery and the sim card and let it dry for 2 days. After reassembly and 12 hours of charging, it turned on and displayed a lovely background of clouds. After an hour, the background reverted back to normal, and I could place calls.
The speaker and mic were dead, but the next mornign the speaker was working and today, the mic started working. The battery doesn't seem to hold a charge like it used to, but I'm amazed it is working at all.
Kudos to Motorola!

Subversion Hosting
-
I'm always shocked when I encounter people and projects that aren't using version control. After years of knowing that I can rollback to a previous version, working on files that aren't versioned scares me. I keep everything possible checked in, including tax files, my diaries, etc.
I switched to Subversion 18 months ago and have been very happy with both my free and my paid hosting.
