I had a friend ask me if I'd be willing to teach him Rails.

You've heard of Google Translate, right?

I was looking for a maximize solution on my Mac that felt more like, well, Windows.

I just found a twitter search plugin for Firefox.

As I've done twice before, I'm going to try to save someone else a couple of hours of hair pulling.

I had a great time attending the PDC virtually.

FTMP = For the most part In Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition SP1 .NET XP Live.

It's official.

As I said on Monday, at some point there has to be the first person to blog a useful tidbit in the world of software.

Don't you hate it when you google for 30 minutes, trying to solve a simple problem, but for some reason the right combination of terms--or at least the combination of terms you think is right--fails.

In my last post, I mentioned some hacking with JavaScript.

I just realized that I haven't really posted since June.

My good friend Robby--yes, check out that insanely hot Silverlight homepage--just announced he's leaving Identity Mine Congrats on your freedom, my friend.

Well, maybe not so much the console market as the console business model.

It's seems like only 8 month ago that I was leaving a job.

Search for "why does rob hate my mom".

Scenario: I sent out email to many people via BCC.

A recent discussion with a smart guy reminded me of an article I read years ago.

I might as well handles the two "90% issues" together.

90% of the questions I get on the bag-o-tricks fall into one of two buckets.

This is just a heads-up.

My mother is a lovely woman.

By Joel, I mean Joel Spolsky.

Yuval, via a comment, asks: Can you explain why you chose to define WrapperElement<T> instead of simply inheriting from Decorator?

Consolas is one of a set of new ClearType fonts that shipped as part of Windows Vista and Office 2007.

January 12 was my last update to the bag-o-tricks.

...or at least it makes me feel that way.

Cross-post from my personal blog.

So I'm reading RESTful Web Services and I got inspired.

I last discussed Set about 3 weeks ago.

My current day job consists of writing middleware and web-based LOB software for an actuarial services company.

This has happened a few times, so I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Yes, I finally got off my SelectRecursive kick.

I thought I finally nailed SelectRecursive--my Linq-friendly extension method for navigating homogenous hierarchies.

Now before I start a flame war, remember what I wrote in September: I believe in open standards.

No clue why I want to be vague about this.

The joke about Microsoft is that it always takes them three times to get it right.

I wake up this morning to find a comment from Stefan regarding my post yesterday about flattening recursion: In the future version of C# we may receive a new language construct yield foreach which will eliminate this problem.

...it's rarely necessary, but you'll be better for it.

The last update to the bag-o-tricks was pretty lame, I'll admit.

Way back in August, I posted about my last Channel 9 interview where I discussed new stuff in WPF for 3.5.

The graphics pretty much match the actual game now.

Yesterday (well, early this morning) I posted my first stab at the game Set implemented in WPF.

Update - 2008-01-06: See this post for new details.

There are a whole set of blog posts floating around my head.

Here's a token gift from me to you.

Yes, I'm considering writing a book: "Kevin Explores Things That Rock".

I've been all over the map with hosting services.

I realized there is a concept I come back to often in a lot of my software implementation and in a lot of my discussions.

Shout-out to brilliant developer (and my co-worker) David Potter, who--through hours of discussion--helped me arrive at this 'thought'.
