naw shit naw, man. I do believe you'd get your ass kicked for doing something like that. - Office Space :)

check out scheduled tasks. There are a LOT of options there for triggers - including system-level events - that you might be able to pull off what you want. click Start, type 'task schedule' and you're off.

Use the Tools.[^]

^^ this. If/when you get to the point where you really want to use it for builds, etc, I have done quite a bit of configuration & experimentation in this regard and try to post those findings and other interesting things on my blog, .Netitude[^]

I have also heard speculation that it was due to the perception in Japan of '9' being an unlucky number.

signed up for this a long time ago when it first came out. went back to it today. I click on "my curations" up top and it takes me to my profile page. click on my name up top and it takes me to my profile page. methinks you have some bugs to squash.

You can host a web site *FREE* on Azure. it's shared hosting, not scalable. http://screencast.com/t/a4sVLhsdZf[^] Furthermore you can spin up a pre-fabbed wordpress site (w/ 20mb MySQL db) for free w/ 1 click. For e-mail, just use outlook.com Welcome to the land of milk & honey :)

I've never had a problem with it. However I've encountered co-workers that certainly have - the interactions between us are ... funny. :) Especially when they call me over to "have a look" at something ;)

Thanks for the compliment on the post, hopefully you found it useful. Honestly I didn't have any Git experience either. Having an IDE built around it (Visual Studio) that does all the command-line stuff for you is very helpful. I have a friend that works at MS and the word is that internally all projects are built on Git and TFVC receives no more funding. To me that means it's going away - hence my reason for "jumping in".

My one gripe about VSO w/ Git is that they don't support some of the Build niceties that you get if you use TFVC. Most notably, checking drops back in to SCC. Makes it hard to fab up chained builds and separate out your projects well. Means I have had to resort to checking in binaries that could otherwise be pulled from a Drops folder if they'd bring that functionality to the Git area. Nonetheless, I have migrated *all* my projects over to VSO Git from Bitbucket & elsewhere, so I totally agree!:thumbsup:

My setup is DomainReg + hosting through hostgator wordpress blog installation is a 1-click setup through them, and is working very well for me. If you want to have complete control you can get dedicated server hosting. I use the shared hosting and it's totally adequate. For e-mail I have hostgator forward all my e-mail to my @outlook.com account and have an alias set up there which is my hostgator-fielded e-mail address. Therefore I have a custom domain, but get to read & send mail via outlook.com and also take advantage of their spam handling, address book, etc. It's a great set up if you've got Windows 8 and/or Windows Phone to tie the whole thing together.

I've used the Lumia 822 and now 928 on Verizon. Loved them both, really nothing to complain about on either. The new Lumia Icon on VZW is a very compelling offering; lack of Glance support being the only thing people are complaining about thus far. All-in-all, I don't see a reason to buy any WP other than Nokia ones; they're the only OEM invested in the platform and constantly evolving it through 2nd party apps like Video Trimmer, Video Uploader, etc.

about me

Cannot seem to get the "download now" icon to do what the name implies. I've tried IE 11, 10, 9, and latest Chrome and clicking the icon doesn't do an RSS "update" of my feed.

read. watch. then quit yer bitchin' http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheMissingWindows8InstructionalVideo.aspx[^]

This is exactly what my company's currently considering and why we're considering it :) prior to this we had a build folder called "ExternalDependencies" and then a Promotions file that was processed by a home-grown MSBuild orchestrator. You doctored your file to say what external dependencies you needed and they were pulled in at build time (both in IDE and on server) from the correct place in source control.

from my standpoint the answer is a resounding YES. I know of more than just a few devs who have left positions due to lack of 'creative freedom'. That is: the ability to research, discover, and find new ways to solve problems they were facing in their current projects/solutions. Similarly, being able to learn new things and apply those findings to what you're working on is, in some what, being creative with new tools and discoveries. I think if you're in an area like computer science/software engineering, which changes SO rapidly, and aren't allowed to explore, learn, grow your skills as part of your job, your employer isn't focused on investing in you or helping you in your career. How much of that you're content with making up outside of work is up to you. If you can't do it at work, find a way to do it at home to satisfy that creative itch. Then do blog/site posts on what you discover so you get some publicity for your passions. CodeProject's a good place to do that :)

great post. I've been running the Consumer Preview (and then Release Preview) as my *sole* OS since they were kicked out. People were always surprised and then I simply explained it's Win7 + goodies. I would show them the lack of a start button, and you could see the panic wash over their face. My advice to everybody I've ever talked to about Windows 8 and whether or not they'll like it, if it will succeed, etc has simply been this: Use Windows 8 for 40 hours total - not 5 days where you sit down a few hours at a time, but 40 hours total before you make a judgement. Until you've done this, you haven't immersed yourself in the workflow of Desktop <-> RT, how they *can* interact (clipboard, etc) how they can't, what RT apps bring to the table, etc. So for anybody thinking about getting the RP or RTM and trying it out to see how they like it, keep this in mind before writing a post :) :cool:

It totally resonated with me. A few weeks back I totally had a "Peter Gibbons" day at work and just flat out wanted to change [i]careers[/i] - not go to a different employer, just flat out stop programming. I'm not sure why exactly I started feeling this way, but this article really hit a nerve with me. It's just flat out not fun. I have a co-worker that is consistently changing frameworks, APIs, new implementations, and find out how to "weave" them in to our infrastructure. It's like buying an erector set, then seeing that Lego has something you like, but instead of challenging yourself to make the same thing w/ what YOU have, you spend 4x as much time making your stuff work w/ the Legos... ugh.

Work to Live. Don't Live to Work. - me (possibly heard sometime in the past, but can't remember who/where/when) :)
