Shoutouts:

This was a bad weekend for me... I spent most of Saturday in bed and didn't feel much like blogging on Sunday, so this set of posts is everything from Friday evening to Monday morning.

Shawn Wildermuth has posted his Sample Code from GGMUG Talk

Michael S. Sherotter says that he Need Help with my Chroma Key Pixel Shader Algorithm, which I blogged about last week.

Al Pascual reports Silverlight MapStats.NET source code posted at the Gallery... this is that new site stats map that he blogged about a while back.

From:

Erik Mork is digging into Prism, and has a tutorial up on his development guides site in addition to a Sparklink Client Podcast on the same... check them both out!

Mark Monster enhances his code from a few weeks ago on the proxy for.NET RIA Services. His enhancement will associate requests with responses for when the proxy is getting slammed. I'm glad there's folks out there that understand code like this:)

Steve Strong demonstrates an interesting protected mode issue while playing with SaveFileDialog... interesting in that the workaround doesn't sound like something anyone would want.

Rishi digs into some nRoute documentation discussing 'containers'... what they are exactly and all their uses.

Kirupa Chinnathambi has parts 2 and 3 of his series on Behaviors, Triggers, and Actions up. This Part 2 covers the "what is a Behavior" question. Part 3 shows how to 'trigger' your behaviors:

Timmy Kokke gives us a walk-through on using the.NET RIA Services to get access to RSS feeds without getting hammered by cross-domain issues.

Shawn Wildermuth has a series going on Behaviors. In this Part 1 he builds a blur hover behavior. In part 2, he builds a 'shiverbehavior' which is invoked on an event trigger:

Page Brooks has some nice code up for cutting down on the preloader size. He also offers up that if you can get it tighter, let him know and he'll update the post.

Alex Golesh handily tackles the question of switching tabs at run-time. I wouldn't even have thought to try:)

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • 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.

  • 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.
