Larry O’Brien puts his finger right on it!
Casey Chesnut, who’s my favorite Tablet PC programmer because he does all this stuff apparently without realizing that it’s supposed to be hard,….

Flipping through a recent issue of Visual Studio Magazine, I see not one but two pictures of the ever fun-loving Shervin Shakibi, an INETA guy and user group leader in Florida. Of course, that would be due to the fact that the article was written by Jason Beres! What a hoot. Hi Sherv!

Through INETA, I get the thrill of seeing .NET user groups popping up all over the world. Here is Michal Chaniewski, a .NET developer in Poland who is not only translating a 900 page ASP.NET book into Polish, but just won 2nd place in a .NET competition held by Microsoft Poland. Congrats Michal! I have roots in Poland, so this stuff definitely catches my eye!

Raymond Chen explains why folders like My Pictures would reappear after you delete them.
There’s actually something that caught me by surprise in .NET that I learned to accept that is along the same lines. I have some code that needs to look for a file in the Application Data folder area for a particular program. But I don’t want to use the CommonAppDataPath, as this creates a new folder for each version of the application. Therefore, I use the GetParent function combined with the folder name I always want to use like this:
dirStore = System.IO.Directory.GetParent(System.Windows.Forms.Application.CommonAppDataPath).ToString & “\filestore”
But this actually creates the CommAppDataPath folder anyway! Maybe there’s an overload I’m missing and I learned to accept it. My data goes where I want it to in the long run and the users never look there anyway.
