  1. Freaky. Cellist from E.L.O. murdered by a killer bale of hay. Weird stuff. I was just listening to them today. /via @PrincessJenn
  2. Playing Little People with V. She named hers Dolly and People. I named mine Hugo Stiglitz and The Bear Jew.
  3. Is the Orchard Project a .NET version of Drupal? How does it compare to SharePoint or maybe Umbraco is a better comparison?
  4. Nothing like trying to track down some source code backups from a company dissolved 10 years ago. Anyone from SSI out there ping me.
  5. @laribee I generally try to do an iteration-0 with no real story delivery but rather solution planning, estimates, spikes, and vision.
  6. @WalkTheRope I would go with Calgary and then High River, but I'm pretty biased since I live there ;) Quiet, laid back, friendly.
  7. Most irritating feature in the universe today. People that book meetings and remove the reminder part of the meeting.
  8. @kkozmic Is it different from Nu for Visual Studio or could you just build on that http://bit.ly/coShW6
  9. @WonderLaura RE:ECT performance. SQL filtering FTW.
  10. Dear Microsoft, Command Line Parsing should be part of the .NET framework, not an add-on. See Ruby OptionParser for a model.
  11. "It's like I'm Han, you're Chewie, she's Ben Kenobi and we're in that fucked-up bar!"
  12. And so ends tonights 3 hour med fight. Melatonin FTW. Sigh.
  13. 10,000 hours of fun with your 3 year old and an iPad http://is.gd/eYdaL
  14. The Interweb seems slow tonight for me. Can someone order some more tubes. I'm sure that will fix it up quick.
  15. @paulschaeflein Thanks for the link. Wow. What an incredibly large class. I am speechless.
  16. @lazycoder Which Spider-man game?
  17. Anyone know of a good C# class that's like Ruby's OptionParser. OptionParser is such a nice way to handle command line options.
  18. @qrush Sure here's the link http://is.gd/eWuia (will add this to my gemcutter fork once it's 100% and do a pull request)
  19. New adjective: dogable. Food that can be toss to dogs when your 3 year old doesn't eat it (which is practically anything)
  20. @qrush Can you check out the latest version of my gemcutter install script? The only part that doesn't work is gemcutter postgres security.
