Read J Sawyer’s blog and see what they ahve done and are doing. It’s really awesome!!! Nice to have not only the techonology of Microsoft behind them, but also the support of the company.

BIG Tablets – are they still tablets?
Loren Heiny points to Gateways newest 14″ widescreen TabletPC which apparently weighs in at over 6 pounds.
Loren says I’m not so sure what I’ll think of the wider and heavier Tablet design, which suggests to me more that it’s a “notebook” than a “Tablet.”
Loren, it’s still a Tablet, maybe just not so “mobile”. Tablet does not mean mobile, just that you can write on it, right?

RTFM – DebuggerBrowsableAttribute
A reminder to myself since I kind of missed the note in the VS2005 Documentation that says:
The DebuggerBrowsableAttribute is not supported by Visual Basic in the .NET Framework 2.0
Scott Nonnenberg was kind enough not to point out my mental block.
I somehow looked over it a number of times when looking for a clue about the problem I was having.

My travel schedule through the end of the year
I just wrote down my travel schedule through the end of 2006 all in one place and nearly passed out when I realized what I have done! I thought I would put it here as a reminder to myself.
9/12 – 9/17 – Fly all the way across the country for PDC
9/19 – present at VTdotNET on what I saw at PDC
9/24 – 9/25 – present FOUR talks at Code Camp (stil have to start that Virtual Earth talk 😉 )
10/4 – 6 – travel to Syracuse for a quick visit with my parents and speak at CNYDevelopers.NET
10/21 – 10/27 – travel to South Africa to give 3 talks at TechEd
11/5 – 11/10 – back across the country to Las Vegas for DevConnections
11/10 – 11/15 – a little vacation with my ol’ man
12/5 – 12/7 – (not firm) potentially travelling to Virginia for my first INETA gig and to visit my brother and his family
And to all of you wondering why I am not flying to Seattle for the MVP summit at the end of September, perhaps now you understand why! 🙂

A little mouse trick in VS2005
I will never remember this – so I’m blogging it.
If you use your middle mouse button to click on the tab of an edit window in VS2005 it will close the window. Caught that as an aside while watching Scott Nonnenberg’s debugging presentation on the TechEd DVD’s.
In fact, right click has also been enhanced.
VS2003 right click on tab:
VS2005 right click

Snuck this one right by me! File.ReadAllText,File.ReadAllBytes,File.ReadAllLines in 2.0
I noticed in the past few days that these two have been expanded upon in the past months and have been replaced with three pairs of methods, Read/WriteAllText, Read/WriteAllLines and Read/WriteAllBinary.
These are really great – relatively small in the scope of all that is new in VS2005 but SO very useful and not to be missed! [read more…]
