New entry to blog roll – John Robbins
This most recent post by John Robbins is what motivated me to add his blog to my blog roll. However, it has been a must read for a while now. This post is actually more “fluffy” than most for him, I just loved the insight into things macros can do that I hadn’t considered like setting breakpoints with custom conditions. Also liked the code he used to validate that the current window in the IDE was in fact a code file before moving forward with the macro. I pulled that method out and added it to my common module of macros.

ab-normal.dot – Why are all my documents locked?
I have been dealing a lot with documents. I have a fun project dealing with WPF documents that I hope to blog more on soon. Anyway, the last few days I have noticed that every document I open is locked. In order to do anything, even cut-and-paste, I need to go to Tools –> Unprotect Document. Then I am good to go.

The CMD crisis
I really like being familiar with command line tools, however, in reality I often find myself searching on line for some command I know I used before but just can't seem to remember. In a past life (read "job") I was able to turn around and ask a fellow lead dev who seemed to have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Window's command line syntax burned into his psyche in no particular order of precedence. We called him "Inspector Gadget" because, when you were looking for the odd utility, tool or command, he was your man. Alas, today I had to resort to Google (MS employees here read "Live Search") Here are a few reminders I needed today and some new stuff I learned. Hopefully I'll remember to look here next time.

WATIR under the bridge (Proxy)
Hit this today attempting to install WATIR on my current development box. The domain has a proxy server that has only occasionally caused me issues, but now I was unable to use gem to install WATIR unless I could configure the proxy. The correct syntax was harder to find than I expected, so I thought I would capture it here:

Setting up remote debugging on 2003 and 2008 server
For a long time I have wanted to be able to do this without it being a 2 day ordeal, or having to beg IT to open up some ports etc. Seems to me the last time I looked this was a lot harder than it is now. Has it gotten easier or did I just assume it was annoying and not really consider it? Not sure, but it has been a real life-saver on recent projects, especially SharePoint. Here are the links that got me up and running quickly.
