Dear NewsGator Support, I can’t believe I’m actually considering uninstalling NewsGator , but your service has deteriorated a lot recently. Although I get a few blog posts in Outlook each day, most do not arrive. “0 new posts” is meaningless now because

While playing with CS 2.0 and WF in VS 2005 I found that most people were debugging by attaching to the aspnet_wp process. Although this works well, it's more convenient to debug with F5, so I started poking around. Here are the steps I followed, but

Farewell, fair cruelty. For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night. I couldn't have said it better myself William. I was throttled big-time by Netflix. I had a dozen movies in my queue for 6 months

This week I've been getting into WF 1 by adding some approval workflow to the CS 2.0 Articles. Don't get excited, this WON'T be checked-in people. It's purely research. So far, I'm impressed. Ken now realizes that he approached it the wrong way the other

New Top Level Domains have been released, so you can join the del.icio.us crowd and create even more weird (memorable?) domain names. Check out .AG, .AM, .FM, .GS, .MS, .NU, .SC, .TC, .TK, and .VG. I checked straight away, and BLO.GS has already been

You'll see this repeated all over the blogs in the next few days, but I can't resist repeating it here, if only so my non-techie friends can read it. It's just too good. Old Venture Capital firm BVP published a list of companies that they declined to

I find myself lacking some relevant categories for this post. File this under "Eccentric English Guy" and "You'd have to be a Hot Rodder to understand". When you buy a dashboard Hula Doll for your classic sixties cruiser , don't buy this one. It's made

Tara is flying to England for two weeks on Monday (don't ask how I will cope with the kids, I don't know yet) so I had a brief period of niceness and popped out and bought her a Video iPod yesterday. I'm so done with the cheap MP3 players. The iPod is

Thanks Terri, for telling me that Neopoleon was your favorite blog. Assuming that Rory blogs every two days (and so far he's blogged almost every goddamned day in March) this knowledge has the potential to waste 30-40 minutes of my time a week. Nice.

I'd like a streamlined blogging experience, where I can hit a hot key, type and a new quick-and-dirty blog entry gets posted. Somewhere where I can blog the stream 1 of thoughts that go through my head and never get captured. Something nice like OneNote

Something about Brad's nice desk reminded me of something I read a few years ago when I first discovered blogs. In a bizarre coincidence Hugh blogged about that very article this week, and I just read it this morning. It was, of course, Hugh's awe-inspiring

My home office: Brad Feld 's home office: We both have 3 screens, but I think he might just have taken it up a notch. Brad also talks about taking his wife out for lunch once a month, and giving gifts. This time I win; Tara and I have recurring appointments

ok, so I just installed CS on my locahost using the MSI and followed the same advice that I used to give Dozing Dogs customers; namely, install on localhost but use your production (hosting company's) SQL Server if possible. Doing this means that you

I thought Scott and Alex were the only orangaphobes I knew, but now Terri is complaining about orange too. Man. But I really ought to try and fit in, so I might have to start pretending I hate orange too. With that in mind I visited godaddy.com, but unfortunately
