I have a few SanDisk Cruzer USB sticks. One thing that annoys me is the U3 app. I appreciate what they're trying to do ... OK ... wait ...maybe I don't. No, really, I just want it off my stick. Go to SanDisk's site and get their U3 Launchpad...
Yes, it is July 1, 2008. and while it's not the traditional New Year, for me it is for two reasons. First, Microsoft has decided I didn't cause too much trouble over the last 12 months so I get to continue being a VSTS MVP . Thanks! Second, Microsoft...
Well, last weekend they released Orcas Beta 2. Today, Rosario. Rosario you ask? Yes, this is the post-Orcas version of Team Foundation Server and related bits. Rosario is “built” on Orcas so this isn't a new CLR, .NET Framework, etc. So, skip the BBQ...
It’s funny how human beings relate to dates. For example, every 365 days or so (give or take a leap year), many of us on this planet feel a sense of renewal with the coming of a new year. I tend to be this way. It provides a way of tracking one's life...
What was I thinking? :-) Yes last night was late; mostly due to it being Ted Pattison's birthday today. In either case, Richard, Rocky , and I are in the main hall waiting to see if Microsoft has any secrets to reveal. We shall see. 8:35am Eastern. Update...

The other day I was working with a virtual machine image running Windows Vista and I wanted to see if NewSID would work. Well it didn't. In asking around, I got a tip from an old friend, Michael Kaplan —try running elevated. So, I did. I re-ran it as...
Over the last few days I've been working on a whitepaper about building VSTO 2005 SE add-ins and how to factor the design. Today while eating lunch, I pushed away from the sweets and selected a fresh banana (or nana as my three year old would say). That...
As I prepare to shutdown on this New Year's Day, I started thinking, “Where did 2006 go?” Looking at my United Mileage Plus statement I see that I flew 100,232 miles. Well, that answers part of my question. Six VSLive shows (SFO, YYZ, MCO, LAS, BOS, and...
Found this today via Gunderloy , .NET University , a project setup by my old buddy Doug Turnure . In a previous life, Doug and I travelled around teaching those who would listen the love that was COM and VB. Go Doug! Check it out and and let Doug know...
Via Ed Bott , there's a great entry by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes about how companies that offer rebates go out of their way to make it difficult to get your rebates. What's makes it even more interesting is the fact that one company has received a patent...
You can find a link at the Virtual PC site . Here’s a list of what’s new: Support for running Windows Vista in a virtual machine and running virtual machines on top of Windows Vista Improved performance Support for AMD and Intel’s hardware virtualization...
I've have quite a few friends who have been smitten by the Mac bug (especially Intel Macs). In addition, others are considering moving that way (I won't "out" them just yet ;-) ). Some, like John , run Parallels Desktop for Mac . Others, want to use BootCamp...
This article from MSNBC has a sad quote [0]: It wasn’t clear how long they would remain in effect, though Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said the situation “eliminates the days of carry-on baggage.” No carry-on? Well, let's just kill international business...
'nuff said. End of line. WF = Windows Workflow
