It depends on the situation if I self-identify as a geek or not. Today, I thought it would be fine, so I signed up for the Geek Dinner organized by Scott Hanselman in Bellevue, WA . Quite a lot of people showed up. I went there with my colleague Erwin...
Best wishes to everyone for 2008! In the first day of the new year, I've released version 0.9.0.0 of my Flickr Meta Synchr tool . You can always find the latest version on CodePlex . I had been working on this new version for a while now, but didn't...
Scott Guthrie did a major announcement on his blog yesterday: Microsoft will be releasing the source code for most .NET Framework libraries with the release of Visual Studio 2008. There will even be integrated support for debugging into framework classes...
After a long day and night of coding, I released version 0.8.0.0 of my Flickr Metadata Synchr tool on CodePlex this morning. I finally solved the long-standing problem I was having with the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to update metadata. So this is...
[ Update : The electronic version (in Dutch) is available online now.] My article on developing interactive TV-websites using ASP.NET 2.0 has been published in the Dutch .NET Magazine #16. I mentioned that I was writing this article in January and I made...
*sigh*. It seems you can't strong name a C++/CLI assembly, i.e., sign a managed C++ assembly, with a .pfx file like you can in C# or VB in Visual Studio 2005. You have to revert to using an unprotected .snk file ;( An MSDN forum post about this issue...
The situation I am currently working on version 0.6.0.0 of my Flickr Metadata Synchr tool. The goals for my open source project on CodePlex are described on the Flickr Metadata Synchr wiki page and you can always find the latest status there. At the moment...
My app on CodePlex has reached the v0.3.0.0 stadium. It does not sync the metadata yet, but it fetches the metadata from images on Flickr and on a local disk in a form that can easily be compared. Jan kindly donated some C# code using GDI+ and direct...
[ Update 2007-02-24 : My Flickr Metadata Synchr project is now live on CodePlex . I will keep the Wiki page on CodePlex updated and will not further update this blog post. If you are interested in the progress, you can subscribe to the Flickr Metadata...
Earlier on Friday I played around with January 2007 CTP of Visual Studio "Orcas" . Lots of things are still missing from this CTP. But more is coming soon. Scott Guthrie reveals that lots of new web development stuff will be included in the next CTP which...
I know that Microsoft does not support and recommends against installing XNA Game Studio Express on Windows Vista. But this free (as in $0) product, that was released today (*), is too cool to skip. Since I only have Windows Vista installed on my machine...
Frans Bouma posted his thoughts on the reasons for the relative absence of big open-source project in MS/.NET land when compared to Java, Linux, PHP, etc. world. I had an somewhat related IM discussion with a colleague (who shall remain anonymous unless...
Through Scott Hanselman's blog I found Google code search . Tonight I was working on a new version of my RollingFileTraceListener (not yet available). This triggered me to see if Google could find the code of my current version 0.5.2.0 . And yes it does...
My favorite blogger Rory Blyth (aka Neopoleon ) has joined Channel9. Channel9 will never be the same again! He was a Microsoft employee presenting roadshows in the USA and was thinking about leaving Microsoft. I am glad Rory has decided to stay on in...
On my blog you can see a so-called PDC 2005 flair image . I have used my poor Photoshop skills to create two additional PDC 2005 flair images. It would be pretty lame if I would leave the "I'll be there" flair on during and after the PDC. Photoshop...
