I have a 512MB memory chip for a Toshiba Portege M200.
They are on sale right now at Crucial for $50 so if anyone wants to buy mine, I’ll sell it for a little less than Crucial. I bought this a little less than a year ago and the M200 is not my daily use machine. You know, only driven by a little old lady on Sundays. 🙂

One of the talks I will be doing at Visual Studio Connections is “Deciphering C# for VB Developers”. One of the BEST resources for converting your code back and forth is O’Reilly’s C# & VB.NET Conversion Pocket Reference. I have a slide in the presentation devoted just to the book. Now I have dozen copies of the book to give away at the presentation. Thanks to Marsee Henon of O’Reilly!
Here is the description of the presentation
As a Visual Basic developer, have you ever searched for a code sample and then found one that is exactly what you need but written in the C# language instead? The differences between the two language syntax are substantially more than just semi-colons and curly braces. This session is intended to help you understand such idiosyncracies as backwards variable declaration, stringent rules for scoping variables and methods, compound assignment operators and more. This session will be given by a Visual Basic programmer who has felt the pain both deciphering and writing C# code and wants to help you avoid some of the same pitfalls.

The agenda for TechEd South Africa is now online.
I see that two of my session will be in Session Room 1 – the big room. This room as a capacity of 800 people (okay not so bad as TEchEd US where it’s more like 8,000). But still…. gulp.
The fun begins on Sunday evening at 7pm (Oct 23) with the welcome party!

I had the good fortune of having Melanie Spiller edit a recent article for the upcoming CoDe Focus issue on Tablet PC and Mobile PC Development. (Free issue by the way, subscribe here).
One of the habits she noticed was my use of the word “actually”. We talked about it a bit and she happened to mention that another problem word is “basically” which, she told me, people use when they are guessing. That actually (see, I use that a lot) makes a lot of sense. Of course, being THE editorial blogger for technical authors, I was able to find a blog post where she talks about “actually”, “basically” and some other oft misused adverbs.
I wonder what she thinks of the infamous “So…” that begins every sentence of Microsoft employees when they answer a question…

Damir Tomicic, who heads up INETA Europe, created such a wonderful video of his trip to PDC that I wish it was much longer than 3 minutes. Microsoft EMEA chartered a flight to L.A. from Austria or somewhere (which was dubbed “EMEA @ PDC”), so the video starts with a plane filled with geeks. [read more …]
