So I've been pretty negligent on my self imposed therapy of posting my thoughts to my blog. My negligence hasn't been for lack of interest; more for a lack of time!
So I am finally 'out' of puppies for the moment, seven of the nine little guys & gals have been placed in what I hope to be their permanent home. I was slightly worried that it would be hard to part them out, but it was surprisingly easy as there was just so many!
I have also been playing with the new version of Visual Studio; version 2008. There are lots of things to like about it, one of the most being 'consistency'. I was able to install the application and being instantly productive because the user interface is almost exactly the same as 2005 and keystrokes performed exactly how I wanted them to. The new whiz-bang things were added in an unobtrusive fashion as possible. A non-issue is the lack of third-party support which I am sure will be coming along as quickly as they can ramp-up. It was surprising to see the lack of starter-projects available though as they are sponsered by the same group. The performance inside of virtual machines is odd though. Version 2005 performs like a champ inside of my vmware image, but 2008 is a dog which has me worried.
