Claimspace, a dead hard drive and Harry Potter on Wikipedia

I haven't read a Harry Potter book since the third one. I started them later than most readers and thus was working through them back to back when the third one came out. I was tired of reading them before I got to the third and have never gone back to

Call to Arms on Web 2.0

I'm one of those that dislikes the entire phrase Web 2.0 and all it represents. At least my interpretation of what Web 2.0 represents. I received the following reminder from the Boston .NET Users Group . The May meeting of the Boston .NET User Group will

MSDN and more productive life?

Rob Caron asks, in his Visual Studio Decennial, Redux "Has the MSDN Library made your life - at least when it comes to your development efforts - simpler and more productive?" Let me think... how do I phrase this. Hell yes!

I wasn't crazy when I compared Shadowfax...er... EDRA and PIAB

I just ran across this post Similarity between EntLib 3.0 Policy Injection Application Block and EDRA by Erwyn van der Meer on technorati by accident. I didn't have a pingback from this post on my blog so I decided I'd point others to it. Glad to know

Spec#

I'm very excited to pass along that Spec# has a new release. I personally am very interested in Spec# because I am a big fan of assertions (though I far too often don't practice what I preach) and this is a giant leap beyond that. Check it out. I love

There is no doubt my wife would never let me get this unless something tragic happens and it's an alternative to me doing nothing. This could be dangerous for those all-nighters. But it is very comforting to know such things exist if I did have a special
