Ok, I've searched the net everywhere and I can't find a solution to this one, so I'm resorting to blogging to see if this has happened to anyone else. I recently built a rather lengthy set of presentations, and I used the tools window as a ring of snippets that I pasted in as I was working through my...

This post has been moved to my new blog .

As many of you know I have made some strong statements in the past regarding ORMs (in fact I’ve probably lost readers over it). Recently in my day job , I was given two projects that I decided to use an ORM for (and I used different ones each time). I used the writings of my fellow blogger, David...

[I’m sure some vendors aren’t going to like me for doing this series]. Last time I wrote on this subject I mentioned that I was not convinced that I was using the best Refactoring tool available and I had decided to retest them all (at least the ones I know of). Well, today is the JustCode...

Somehow I missed the first Release Candidate (yesterday). ReSharper is in release candidate mode! We should be seeing release soon (I bet).

My hopes are that maybe I can write some Python for a quick problem solving session, and then use the code to write a design or whatever...

This is a quick personal (kind of) post. I just wanted my regular readers to stay tuned. I will be back (am back). I've had an extremely busy couple of weeks. I'm writing a guide for the How TO Select Guides on Internet E-mail components, have been extremely busy at work, and tie down pretty heavy by...

Yesterday, Raymond pointed me to a post where someone was less than happy with me (no, I'm not going to link and I'm not going to explain any more than this). Also, Darrell also told us all on the CodeBetter Blogger's mailing list that someone argued with him about a post he made (I'm also not gonna...

I had a conversation with a friend this morning that somewhat scared me. This friend has been the biggest VB.Net proponent I have ever met.
