Silverlight and the Enterprise

Bart Czernicki has a good article up on talking about how well suited Silverlight really is for the purpose everyone is perceiving it to be used for.

Pedro Anuarbe Cortes sent me a link to his Silverlight Tetris app... The code is all in English, and available... but the blog post is in Spanish. The game works quite nicely... great job, Pedro! and thanks for sending it

Ken Cox talks about an error he had when moving some WCF code out to a server... what he had to do to make things work.

Koen Zwikstra has found a problem with Silverlight 2 that appears to be repeatable, and explains how to duplicate it.

Terence Tsang has a new entry up, suggested by a reader... this is an interesting Flickr Image Gallery... it's fun to just sit and watch:)

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
