John Stockton discusses the process of designing a Custom Control and the advice/questions asked and answered... if I had known he was going to include twitter posts in here, I'd have responded:)

Silverlight Session Scheduler at CodePlex

John Stockton got back before I posted the first one and this is a very cool session scheduler for code camp... it looks great and works cool, plus he has it posted on CodePlex!

Michael Sync once again has visiting Christoph Husse blogging about using his Rich Text control... take a look at the text in the demo and emoticons... very cool!

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
