  • So Long Slickrun

    For the longest time I have been running both SlickRun and Launchy on my machine. I kept both as I had not updated my copy of Launchy in a while and I found that slickrun was just much better for launching folders in Explorer. Having had my eyes opened at the last course in Austin, I have now completely...

  • Score 1 For Eliminating your hands flight path

    For the last couple of weeks, I have been integrating Vim and a complementary set of tools into my development toolkit. I am firmly on board with what the pragmatic programmers say: "Learn a good editor, and learn it well!!" I am thoroughly impressed with Vim, Viemu etc. Last week I was recommended...
  • Gettin' Jiggy With VIM

    Well you can officially call me a Vim junkie now!! Having spent the last couple of weeks working with it I can definitely say that I would not work at a machine that did not have it. That's right, that is the same claim I made, and still make, about ReSharper . I still trip myself up in ReSharper...

  • Hooked on VIM

    After watching the first screencast that Aaron presented on Vim, I thought I would check it out. The first day was a little uncomfortable, 2 weeks later I am happy to report that I concur with Aaron's statement, which is also what I say to people who were not using ReSharper: "I could not use...

  • ReSharper 4.0 Nightly Builds

    Ever since the nightly builds for ReSharper 4.0 went live, being the REA (Resharper early adopter) that I am, I downloaded it and have been using it on my C# 3.5 projects. I am happy to report that even though it is in the pre EAP phase, it is extremely solid and a joy to work with. The support for the...

  • Another Handy Shortcut Combination (Shift + F10)

    I might be a little late on this one, but I just learned a new shortcut that will definitely save me time when I am working in my VM on my mac. I love to use the keyboard. And when I use my natural keyboard it is fairly easy to access context menus (right click) by using the context menu key on the keyboard...

  • Update To VS2008 Issue

    Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback. In the end, the first response that I tried was to install the latest copy of VisualSVN (I was running a slightly older version). After installing the latest version of VisualSVN everthing is functioning as expected.

  • VS2008 - Bringing Attention To An Issue

    Well, today I installed VS2008 on my machine. Setup went great and completed with no errors. This was a fresh install on a machine that had no prior beta bits installed whatsoever. So I did not anticipate anything weird happening. Fired up VS2008 for the first time and it went through its normal first...

  • Downloading VS2008

    The title says it all. Looks like I will be prepping a new VMWare image in a couple of hours!! Now the JetBrains people have a good target to aim at with getting a release out that supports the RTM of VS2008!! Develop With Passion

  • ReSharper Templates

    Since I have been asked for these quite a few times, I thought I would oblige and give these out. You can find below the links for both my Resharper Live Templates and File templates. Enjoy: Live Templates File Templates
  • Update - (Taking a short break from)Typing With The Datahand

    As you can see from the title. I am currently not using the datahand to type right now. This is due in large part to the immediate needs of a client and my personal frustration with going from being able to type fairly fast on a natural keyboard to not very fast at all on a DataHand. During the 2 weeks...

  • ThoughtWorks Studios Is Busy!!

    Looks like TW Studios just released a new offering to the general consumer public. CruiseContol Enterprise is an interesting offering from TW that looks to add interesting support and consulting features as well as some interesting additions to the actual tool itself. I could duplicate information and...

  • (Automated Build Script + ReSharper Solution Wide Error Analysis) == The Bomb

    Using ReSharper 3.0 for the last week and a bit has been an awesome experience. It is currently in the EAP phase, but so far it is proving to be the most solid eap of the product they have released to date (in my opinion). Of all of the features that have been brought into the mix, I am particularly...

  • Help Improve ReSharper

    David Stennett over at JetBrains is soliciting existing users of ReSharper to pipe up and tell them about things they could do to improve the killer product we all know and love (all of us who use it that is!!). Take a couple of minutes out of your busy day and fill out this survey which should arm them...
