I found a bunch of great Computer Laws... A few highlights: Ellison's Law: The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. (Harlan Ellison) Jakob's Law of the Internet User Experience: Users spend most of their time on other websites.

Mouseless Computing

Comments | Share

As I'm sitting here, my wrists are hurting slightly, due to the fact that at my new job (well, I'm back at my old workplace, but with a new title and all that) I don't have my normal keyboard. Also, my "new" chair sucks big time, so it's all agony ;-) So I thought I'd share an old link with you guys: Jon Galloway : Mouseless Computing - although I know ......

No cancel, no way back into Visual Studio what so ever!? I wonder if I'm missing a service pack :-s Ended up terminationg the VS-process manually. Bummer ......

Visual Studio trick for obtaining the public key token and blob of a signed assembly

Comments | Share

I hate command prompts. I know - I'm supposed to be a geek and all, and therefore love prompts and stuff. But I just hate them anyway. So I was very pleased when I stumbled across andrewconnell.com, where I found a very nifty trick for avoiding some command prompt hell... BTW, the article says it's a VS2005 trick, but it works fine for me in VS2003 ......

It turns out that Jeff (Julian) had forgotten to add it to the skin I'm using here - I wish I had known before I manually deleted something like 60 spam comments, all from the same stupid [product name] moron. I had been looking for the ......

Of course, some document-based applications make sense to run multiple times, but many utilities make no sense, or can even cause problems when run this way. It turns out that we can easily make a change to accomplish ......
