I mentioned earlier how the Free Xbox 360 site was quite busy, and it is... tons of clicks, 12 sign-ups, and even one person has 'gone green' which is to say they completed their offer. Once 8 people (who click through your referral link) have signed-up and completed an offer, then you are all done, […]

I 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 VB […]

I remembered that the 11th book in the Wheel of Time series, Knife of Dreams, was coming out sometime in October so I checked for it on Amazon today and it turns out it came out on the 19th. So (despite being fairly busy and having a real problem with reading non-stop through every single book […]

I was considering adding one (or more) of the many aggregator-buttons (subscribe to this feed in newsgator, add this feed to your MSN start page, etc.) when I found this, one button that handles all of the most popular aggregators through a single link. […]

For the last few weeks I've had a graphic and link to a 'free Xbox 360' site up as a banner on my blog pages, and it has received a lot of clicks (and 12 or so sign-ups, although no one has completed an offer yet...). I'm guessing […]

Nick, from "The Coding Monkey" mentioned that he would like to see Atom support in the FlairMaker, so ... having no real reason not to, and having an extra 15 minutes after the kids went to sleep before I started cleaning up the house, I added it... Of course, I've just added this to my forked vers […]

Neil Enns of the MSBuild team has released the first of a series of posts about how MSBuild works within Visual Studio, how VS projects are used by MSBuild and basically everything you'd want to know about how the two systems interact. […]

Kent's flair was cool... so I made my own, using his code of course, but targetting whatever feed you want... check out the source of this image and I'm sure you can figure out how to change the feed it is […]

Just FYI, the gifts on some of these free sites change from time to time, and the PVPs4Free site has added the Creative Zen Vision (video/audio/photo player) and the Portable Media Center from Samsung, the YH-999.   […]

I've added Kent's flair to my site, just so I can be one of the cool kids in the class... […]

I've been putting money aside for a few months now, to save up for an Xbox 360, and now I have sold my media center extender (the HP one), I've hit the magical number to be able to afford the 'premium' edition. I can't afford any of the crazy bundles that are available for pre-order though, so I g […]

It's a bit odd, seeing our logos redone as 'free' icons, but they are nice images so I grabbed them anyway...

As a big fan of KOTOR and Baldur's Gate before that... this is very exciting.

Thanks to the work of Serge Baranovsky (the guy behind VBCity) a new site is up that aggregates content from various Visual Basic related sources, including personal and team blogs from both inside and outside of Microsoft. Check out the launch annoucement here, and check out the site as soon as you […]
