| | | I’ve been watching more FOSDEM videos. They are very cool. Watching in 720p is awesome. Alan McGovern on The Evolution of MonoTorrent – By far the best bittorrent library for .net. Alan talks about the challenges of writing a library that will handle things like hundreds (if not thousands) ... | |
| | | As a .NET programmer in my day job targeting Windows desktop applications (winforms and wpf), I don’t get to stay on top of much ASP.NET or Mono. The ASP.NET stuff I feel like I have a good enough handle on via channels I use to stay on top of .NET ... | |

| | | Its not just your programming group that can’t get it right. I work in a semi-disfunctional group on contract for a client who, not matter how hard we try, doesn’t seem to listen to basic software engineering principles. I feel a little better (and a great deal worse after ... | |
| | | I really hate the timing of this post, but the ideas are fresh in my head. You can consider this ‘just another iPad post’ if you want. Ever taken a survey on the streets from someone with a PC style tablet? I’ve taken a few. I’m always surprised by ... | |
| | | I just published an application which I consider useful over on codeplex with source hosted on launchpad.

I wrote this because Wifi in my home is very slow. Its so slow I'm tempted to run a network cable to my couch so that even when I'm couch surfing I can have ... | |
