  • Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

    Everyone who knows me will know that I can tend to ramble on about the topic of this post.

I could ramble on about this topic and share my...

  • "The Dream Giver" - Giveaway Take 2

    Having had such an amazing response from the last offer (who would have thought people liked free stuff!!).

  • 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...

It was awesome to have the...

  • 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...

  • BDD Test Naming Macro - Speed Update

    Ever since I received the BDD test naming macro from Scott Bellware last year, it has gone through several iterations of improvements (mostly due to students taking the time to tune up the macro). Of all of the enhancements to the macro, none of them have done as much for the speed of the macro of the...
