Visual Studio Gallery


I and my colleagues are always very, very critical of our IDE's. There's always something missing! - or crashing, but that's another story. For those of you out there who like their Add-ins as much as I do, Microsoft has set up the Visual Studio Gallery.

What I like about it: You can actually find some useful stuff there, like the PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008. One of the commands actually allows you to copy a project, and paste it as a reference to another project in the same solution... Not exactly magic - but useful, nevertheless.

What I don't like about it: Not everything is free. For whatever reason, commercial and open-source stuff mixed together on the same website has never worked for me.

Mission critical HawaiianAir.com website powered by MOSS 2007


Here's another interesting case study,  the migration of HawaiianAir.com to a MOSS-based website.

As these things go, this is another patting-ourselves-on-the-back story - but it's a good one.

Hans Rosling


When people hear Web 2.0, they think Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo! Pipes, and Microsoft's PopFly.

When I hear Web 2.0, I think Hans Rosling talking at TED, and GapMinder.

Now, I could spend a lot of words to explain why, but why talk when there's video to see and interactive media to play with.

To blog or not to blog


A friend recently told me, a lot of people who consider to start a blog do not, because they assume most other people already know what they have to say.

Far be it from me to show any such modesty - but it's a good point.

So, to get things rolling and get used to blogging,

I'll start with the essentials - links, reference material, comments, etc. - and try and build it up to full-fledged technical articles. Baby steps, as they say.
