My CR_JoinLines and CR_SortLines plugins for DXCore have been joined up with the DXCore Community Plugins project headed by Rory Becker. Complete source, installation/usage info, etc., has all been put up over there and any further dev on them will be done there.
Hopefully this more public release area will be helpful to folks who not only want to find and use the plugins, but also who want to learn how to write plugins.
I’m a few days late on this (I was on vacation) but Typemock Isolator 4.3 has been released and has some great new features like Ivonna integration for ASP.NET testing. Check out the blog post on it and then go get it!
While I’m on the subject of Typemock, Roy Osherove has offered up a sneak preview of the new Typemock Racer tool he’s working on that will help detect thread deadlock. Very promising, indeed. Check out his site for some great screenshots.
I’ve been doing various fireworks shows for the past few years and each year I always end up having to recreate the list of things I want to bring along with me to the shoot. Instead of constantly updating and forgetting and such, here’s the list of everything you’d want to bring with you if you’re shooting a show.
This is pretty exhaustive and will probably need to be adjusted for based on the shoot. For example, sometimes you have to dig trenches so you’ll need a shovel… but if you’re not digging, no shovel required. Obviously if you’ve got more than one person, you may need to adjust quantities. Also, sometimes the company you’re shooting for will provide some equipment. Here we go…
Sandcastle, the documentation generator for XML doc comments in .NET, has released its source code on CodePlex starting with the May 2008 release. It had gotten booted from CodePlex for not releasing the source, so they released it.
Somehow I don’t think releasing the source is going to help anything. It’s still crap that you have to run like 10 different commands and have a specially-tailored configuration file to get docs to render and that they leave it up to the community to fill such a huge gap with projects like Sandcastle Help File Builder. I’ve had to set up Sandcastle in several builds now and I always dread it because it’s such a nightmare even with helper programs like that. Sigh.
In my travels through Walla Walla this weekend, I found a store with possibly the most awesome name ever: Hot Poop.
I think it’s a music store of some nature. Here’s the whole store front:
I can only imagine people talking about the store. “Hey, man, you wanna check out Hot Poop?” “No, I poked my head into Hot Poop yesterday and didn’t see anything I needed.” Oh, hellz yeah.
