  1. Presentation on #silverlight #mvvm went well yesterday despite wireless mouse with a mind of it's own. Screencast to follow...
  2. From @OReillyMedia - #Ebook Deal of the Day: Programming C# 4.0 - Only $9.99. Use code DDP4E http://oreil.ly/9yVnZZ
  3. @poleydee can't say we'd noticed...
  4. @MichelleFlynn Superstition *is* the funkiest tune ever written.
  5. At least it gives me time to write the #silverlight posts I've been accumulating for about a year. Some of them are probably still relevant.
  6. En-route to Bristol. Commuting to London from Cambridge got dull, so I thought I'd commute from Bristol for a few days...
  7. @chrislmullin Blimey. I've never had a laptop last more than 3 years. Still, we'll see on Monday...
  8. .@theraromachine They've not actually said they won't repair it yet. Let's see... That doesn't mean I'm not getting an emergency spare, tho'
  9. . @theraromachine How did you guess? And yet still I return for more abuse. You'd think I'd learn.
  10. So I'm reduced to trying to type on my netbook keyboard. And I'll have to hand-compile to IL. And draw things with pen and ink.
  11. What chance of a repair on the (still valid) 3 year warrant, do you think? Oh no, sir. You *used* it sir. That was your mistake.
  12. Right; laptop now only boots for a minute or so before shutting itself down. Thank goodness I'd committed everything to #TFS this morning.
  13. Decades of experience tells me that this means something is wrong with it. Time to salvage the SSD before I cook it.
  14. In normal operation my laptop runs the fans constantly, the back is too hot to touch and the touchpoint nipple is soft and malleable.
  15. @idg10 or the hard disk version where you just add 25% to the shipped, formatted capacity. In desktop terms this is like counting the bezel.
  16. @MikeWTweets We do - we'll be blogging it later in the week. It will be going into other locations too.
  17. Why Programming C# 4.0 is not your grandma's introduction to the language: the 1st code example is Hello World. The 2nd is #LINQ.
  18. Today, though it is the #cricket. Let's hope the rain holds off.
  19. #microsoft #surface always impresses. Just built an app for Chanel in H'row T5 - well integrated brand experience and very excited people.
  20. @DaveDev it is terrifying that it is cost effective to do it. Call centre slave labour.
