Tonight at the Cincinnati .NET User Group ( CINNUG ) I will be giving a grok talk on distributed version control. The featured speaker tonight is David Giard who will be talking about the Microsoft Extensibility Framework (MEF). I hope to see you there!
I have been using Mercurial for a short while now, and wanted to share the contents of my .hgignore file for any other developers using Visual Studio with Hg (and Resharper) . You may download the file from here (rename from hgignore.txt to .hgignore), and here are the contents: syntax: glob *.suo *.user *.FileListAbsolute.txt *\bin\* *\obj\* *.ncb *.nlb *.aps *.clw *.pdb *.obj *.exe *.pch *.vspscc...

Microsoft has quietly released the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Toolkit . Note that this is a ‘developer toolkit’ and not a full-blown SDK. As such, the WM 6.5 DTK has a dependency on the WM 6 SDK . The DTK contains documentation, sample code, header and library files, and emulator images. Rob Cameron has a nice intro overview here . I’ll have more this week… stay tuned!...

TMM is back after a four month hiatus… Microsoft has slightly tweaked the Start menu in Windows Mobile 6.5 to remove the honeycomb graphic, but leave the staggered layout. They’ve also tossed in some slight UI polish including built-in kinetic scrolling with a 1-page_at_a_time scroll (vs. a scroll to the bottom of the list). Check some stills at ArsTechnica . Catch Loke and John previewing...

So here’s the score from what I set out to do in 2008 (and yes, the post date on that entry is off due to my blog migration) : Improve my health BMI of 24.9 or less - fail. I’m around 28.2 right now (better than the 29.8 I started with). I started the year around the 250 pounds mark and now am at 230; need to drop another 30. Most folks can’t tell, though. I suppose it is because I’m...

I think that this will be an interesting year in the mobile world, so I am going to venture out some predictions. Here are ten: 1. A major handset player will exit the market. “ Exit the market” as in cease to be an independent company, so they might be acquired by another. There has been a good deal of banter about this and most are saying that it is one of three, but offer up on specifically: Palm...

I created this plug-in in response to a comment to my original Publishing to Graffiti CMS from Diarist post that asked about setting the Include on the Home Page property of a post when posting. Installing MetaBlog Post Extension...

At the end of November, I posted on how to publish (post) to Graffiti CMS from Kevin Daly’s Diarist application on Windows Mobile Professional Edition via the MetaWeblog API. Kevin replied with a great tip on an even easier way to configure Diarist! Kevin’s reply: Actually, there's something you can do to avoid typing the endpoint: since Graffiti CMS supports RSD (I just had a look) Diarist...

The folks at Telligent have released version 1.2 of Graffiti CMS . If you are already running v1.1, the upgrade is dead simple – it is just a file overlay. As fast as you can copy/ftp the files, you are upgraded. Granted, it took me a few more minutes because I put my entire website under source control (and usually don’t version binaries, but made an exception here) , so I had to...
