I love Outlook 2003
Wanna know why? Because the new Junk Mail Filtering system is amazing. Honestly, it catches about 99% of the junk mail I get. I don't mind if it misses a few, but so far, it has not sent good mail to the junk folder EVEN ONCE. It great. I'm to the point where I'm almost comfortable with it just deleting the junk mail automatically. We'll see how it's track record goes after it goes RTM.

Weblogger Dinner Anyone?
Hey, I'm gonna be in Anaheim / Los Angeles this weekend. Anyone want to get together for some kind of weblogger event? Maybe a beach party. That would be awesome. Drop me a line atrobert@interscapeusa.com. I'll be in the area Saturday afternoon to Monday evening. It would be really cool to meet some of you guys. -
Dialog Base Class
I just spent the last 20 minutes cleaning up Jesse Ezell's Dialog code. It's pretty cool. The only problem was, the way he posted it on his blog, it was extremely difficult to cut and paste into VS.NET. Well, and I'm not a C# guy, so it was hard to understand until I could see it properly indented and so forth. Fortunately for you, I turned it into a class file that I'm going to post on my personal site tomorrow. Oh yeah, and I ported it to VB too, so all you VB guys can understand how it works as well.

Here's an Idea..
Hey Yukon / Whidbey Teams:

Did you know...
I was talking to a developer friend of mine yesterday. This guy works as a programmer at a console games development company. They do work for the Xbox and PS2. Did you know that the Xbox runs on .NET? Supposedly the Xbox SDK requires you to have Visual Studio .NET 2002 and develop in Managed C++. I had no idea. I wonder how tough it would be for developers to write their own games for the Xbox. The only problem is, the code has to be digitally signed. Unfortunately for us, Verisign only accepts an arm or a leg for payments.

Trillian Goodness
Trillian 2.0 has a spell checker that works just like Office's. It even autocorrects (which can be a pain once in a while). No more typing “teh” or any of the other dyslexic crap that my figers do. WOO HOO!!!

Funny stuff
Hilarious. I'm reading “Writing Secure Code, Second Edition” right now, and I love it. I can't believe I've been developing for this long and didn't know this stuff. For sure, we'll be doing a security code review on GenX.NET 3.1, when we add suppoer for binary outputs. Right now it's all just string stuff. Great book that everyone should read.
