Dan Fernandez is the lead product manager for Visual Studio Express . He just blogged about developing tools and applications for Windows Home Server using Visual Studio. + As I mentioned in my Channel9 video I'm super excited that WHS is going to enable...
My Channel 9 interview video just went live. Please don't tease me about how often I say “um”. http://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=270965
I built MCE Controller as something that would be useful for my own home. I had minor aspirations of making it do more than it does, but the reality is that I don’t really have the time nor the inclination (it works beautifully for me as is). Until...
I’ve been a programmer for 20+ years now, so you can imagine how dumb I felt today when I first read about the INTERCAL programming language. INTERCAL was invented in 1973 by Jim Lyon and Don Woods. I learned about INTERCAL today because I just...
I’ve released an update to MCE Controller that fixes a bug where it would prevent Windows logoff and shutdown. Head over to http://www.kindel.com/products/mcecontroller to download it. MCE Controller allows the Media Center application of Windows...
Channel9 has posted a wicked-cool video of Alex Kipman demoning using Visual Studio to write slick SmartPhone app that talks to both the GPS and MapPoint via a web-service. Who says Microsoft can't innovate? What other platform provides anywhere near...
We're busy doing a bunch of prototyping on my double-super-secret project at work and I decide I need to chip in and help. I haven't used Visual Studio 2005 (Whidbey) yet, so I figure I'd build a little app we need using it. I sat down Wednesday night...
I don't get to write much code anymore. When I do I get an amazing amount of joy out of it. Tonight I realized that my MCE Controller , which I hacked up to enable me to control my Windows Media Center machine via Ethernet from my Crestron system has...
I'm still an absolute n00b when it comes to regex. Even after reading Mastering Regular Expressions . But man, is it powerful. Tonight my wife asked me to help her create name badge labels for an org she's in. All she had was an email that had a list...
A new site has sprung up that provides a very cool, and very creative, way for helping people construct C# managed code declarations for native code interfaces. http://www.pinvoke.net/ Almost every time I write C# code I end up having to do some native...
Premise Systems has been sold (to an unannounced, but apparently BIG, buyer) and they have released preview versions of both thier Hardware and Services Development Kit (HSDK) and MiniBroker that are .NET based. I've spent some time playing with both...
Good 'ole Don Box has written a very clear description of HTTP.SYS and it's relationship to IIS and Indigo. I have to admit that even I was confused (and I worked on HTTP.SYS way back when it was called “Duct Tape”)!
Tonight I moved my source code out from the under the control of Visual Source Safe to Source Gear Vault . Even though I'm a single developer I really like having all my source stored in a source control system. It allows me to have “undo”...
In an entry last November I noted that I was enjoying ADO.NET and ASP.NET so much that I'd have another go at writing a web based photo gallery app that stored the images in SQL. I had most of it working by the end of the year, but my cat ski trip to...
I tried an experiement of using a blog for a product page. I setup a blog for MCE Controller when I released it yesterday. I really didn't like having to deal with two blogs! So I ended the experiment and now have just a single blog: this one. If want...
