Stop reading and take this link to Karen's blog... you didn't do it did you?? ok that should give you enough time:) Great material as expected, read her first one first!

New Live Presentation Series – Starts 6/25

Jesse Liberty has a bunch of webcasts lined up... register now so you don't forget later and be mad at yourself... oh wait, that's what *I* usually do...

MS Ireland is starting a 'Coffee Break Show' of 15-minute webcasts and the first one will be Martha Rotter speaking on Silverlight. It's at 11AM GMT, so let's see... Holy Crap... that's 7 hours ahead of me in Phoenix, so umm... I'll have to set my alarm for 4am to attend this in my jammies, or wait for it to be posted...one way or the other... should be good to watch!

Tamir Khason takes a shot at formatting and validating SL Textboxes... interesting material, thanks Tamir!

Updated Silverlight FlickR demo for Beta2

Brad Abrams updated his FlickR app, and has some enhancements/changes listed, particularly in the area of Isolated Storage.

Mark Rideout has posted his TechEd material... definitely one to take a read.

Laurence Moroney's Silverlight 2 book is now out at MS Press... if you were at MIX you got a pre-copy of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the real thing!

Customizing TabItem Style(no coding)

Lee takes aim at the TabItem style and does so in xaml... how's that for a change in this B2 world:)

Stay in the 'Light!

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    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.

    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.
