I'm not a player, I just code a lot! Alex Dresko

I've known about treadmill desks for years now, but never really paid them much attention. I worked out 3-4 times a week for many years but didn't think that walking was necessary to achieve my goals. Then, at an ever increasing rate, I started noticing major publications warning about the devastation caused to the body by sitting for any length of time. Irreversible damage. Higher chance of heart trouble. Higher chance of death. Not good. So about two months ago, I decided it was in my best interest to get off my butt. Literally. I've been a software developer for more than 11 years, which means it's easy for me to spend 10-12 hours a day sitting on my keister. The combined effect of those articles I had been reading, my age, my slowing metabolism, and an ever expanding gut, convinced me that standing was better than nothing. Fortunately, the modularity of my cube at work allowed me to easily raise one of the tables to a height that worked great. Most of the 60 something people that work in my office thought I was crazy, but commended my efforts. And it was a difficult effort, just standing. It took probably two weeks before I could go through an entire day without complaining much. I tried different shoes, different standing exercises, and different cushioning under my feet until standing became easy. One month into standing and I knew there was no going back. Though I have the option of working from home periodically, I'm no longer interested in sitting in my recliner all day. I would go to work simply because my environment was configured for standing. The real world benefits of standing, as opposed to sitting, came almost instantly. Somehow, I found it easier to focus and almost never got sleepy. My posture improved and my back stopped hurting. It was the best I've ever felt working! But that wasn't enough. It didn't take long to realize that, to really make a difference, I was going to need a treadmill. It helps I work for a company (Computer Software Innovations in Easley, SC) that goes to great lengths to ensure their employees are healthy. It took almost no effort getting approval for a treadmill -- the one condition being that I had to purchase it myself. No biggie. I spent a few weeks checking craigslist, ebay, and local stores until I finally scored a Livestrong LS7.9T for $399 at Dicks Sporting Goods. It had the mandatory 2.5 continuous horsepower required to keep me moving at 1-1.5 MPH, is practically silent, and has a lifetime warranty. Sold. The pictures I included (I can get higher quality p

Here lately, I've been using LINQPad for all my local machine scripting needs. It's fast, light weight, and because I have a license, it has full intellisense support. It's also much faster than firing up VisualStudio to create a new C# project. Regardless, I don't "script" anything. Why script something when I can get full intellisense and debugging support in LINQPad or VisualStudio?

And that's why I've never even installed Chrome.

One of the reasons Lutz sold Reflector was because he was NOT able to maintain Reflector anymore. It had grown beyond his ability to keep up with it.

I could. I most certainly could. But I have a feeling that the next time you need to do something that only Reflector can do, you'll cough up the $35 yourself. Personally, I'm going to get the $95 pro version since I've got to buy a license anyway.

That's dumb. $35 is cheap.
