Ok, cool plug-ins for Windows Live Writer cropping up all over
Monday, August 21, 2006If you are a dev, then this code formatting plug-in is probably the coolest thing out there... I'm still ranking Tim's Flickr plug-in as #1 at the moment, at least my slightly customized version that is, but if you'd like a list of several available plug-ins then this spaces entry is a good place to check out. Of course, if you have no idea what Windows Live Writer is... check out this video from on10.net :) [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
Source Code formatting/coloring (colouring!) for your ASP.NET web site
Tuesday, July 11, 2006Kent points us to a free ASP.NET control that pretties up any source code you output to your site... most systems I've used convert the code into html, but this one lets you leave it in its proper form (for downloading or copying to the user's clipboard) and does the coloring at runtime.

Beta versions of the MSDN home page now available...
Wednesday, December 14, 2005I've been working (as part of a large team!) on the new platform for MSDN, which is up and running at http://msdn2.microsoft.com... and now you can see prototype versions of the MSDN home page ontop of that same platform. Check it out here [http://beta.msdn.microsoft.com/default.aspx].

Just spent way too much time fixing VB code coloring on MSDN2
Tuesday, November 15, 2005You may have already noticed this, but the current build of MSDN2 has a bug in the way it colors VB code snippets, as you can see here (scroll down, there are quite a few problems in the code snippet coloring, see how many you can spot!)... turns out the code wasn't handling comments right, text in quotes, and it didn't have a full list of the VB keywords (so MsgBox was not recognized, for example). I've fixed it all up now (I think) so that code will work its way through review and test then get added to some [read more...]Filed under | 3 comments »Share this -
Looks like I coded myself into a corner here...
Sunday, November 13, 2005This is the sort of thing that happens with large development teams, one team codes in 'fixes' that break someone else's work... I don't normally do this all by myself! I updated the Flairmaker to support Atom 0.3, then I updated my feeds to Atom 1.0 ... great. See the error, laugh at the coder... or will it be fixed by the time you click this?

Some great podcasts on VB6 -> .NET and more...
Thursday, October 27, 2005I was reading the dotnetjunkies.com newsletter and I spotted these podcasts, a series of them that I have never noticed before, even though they definitely the kind of content I'd be interested in hearing. Moving to .NET from VB6 and C++ Juval Lowy discusses the different perspectives that VB6 and C++ developers bring to .NET including the challenges each group faces with the technology. (MP3 audio, 16:32 mins.) VB6 Glass Ceiling .NET Software Legend Juval Lowy offers his thoughts on the non-linear relationship between VB6 application complexity and developer capabilities in this provocative interview.
