  • CNet on Central

    There's a big article on CNet about Macromedia Central failing. A few quotes from me in there.

  • Top Reasons Why I like Subversion Better than SourceSafe

    *Offline access is the model Subversion is designed around. You don't have to worry about going offline, because this idea is at the root of Subversion. Subversion was designed to replace CVS, which is typically used for projects with huge geographical dispersion. Think ADO vs ADO.NET.

  • Laszlo 2.0

    Laszlo 2.0 is coming. Sounds pretty cool, especially this part about the new UI components:

  • Subversion 1.0 + VS.NET

     So, Scoble linked to a post about subversion going 1.0 today. What you may not realize is not only does subversion run completely on its own on any Windows machine (yes, no Apache is needed unless you want WebDAV support), but it is fairly easy to get up and running, comes with great documentation, and there is a VS.NET add-in if you just can't wait to ditch SourceSafe, but want to do it from the safety of VS.NET.

  • .NET Rocks

    My .NET Rocks Episode is up. I'm on with Chris Kinsman talking about “.NET success stories.” Great show, IMO, but I might be a little biased ;-).

  • ASAP: The "Breeze Killer"?

    Jeremy Allaire thinks he's found a “Breeze Killer.” The app, ASAP by Convoq (which Jeremy just happens to be an investor in and board member of), is actually pretty cool. Integrated video, voice, IM, presentation sharing, etc. He says that it makes “first generation products” like Placeware and WebEx feel awkward, but I have to disagree. Although this is a very cool application, it suffers from the same design flaw that Lazslo does, it is built on top of Flash. This means that, although the UI is very slick, it is extremely unresponsive compared to a standard desktop app, and it sucks up your CPU cycles like mad. Just try doing some screen sharing and you will notice that not only does your CPU utilization go through the roof, but the video is like 8 seconds off, even on DSL.
