Scott Hanselman

Isn't this a harbinger of something?

• Ralf Westphal:  With only one day to go, I´d say I´m at the door step of an exciting new phase of my professional life. After 12 years of leading my own software company, then after 6 years of freelance work, now from tomorrow on I´ll be part of a new effort where the whole is larger than the sum of its parts.  Although I love to be independent, this team truely is very special, vibrating with ideas, motivation and enthusiasm - and also fun to work with!
• Christian Weyer:  So, yes, I found this team I talked about earlier on. When you add their work up, it becomes truly impressing. It's amazing. Just one more day for all the details.
• Christian Nagel: Web Services, ADO.NET, Enterprise Services, .NET Remoting, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, Indigo, Longhorn…. A team with 13 books, 150 articles, 120 conference talks gets together.
  More details tomorrow.
• Ingo Rammer: There are things, which I just couldn't do on my own.

Note that Reflector 4.0 supports not only /fontsize: but also /fontname:! 

So, reflector /fontsize:14 /fontname:"Lucida Console" :)

Kudos to Phil Scott for creating an add-in for Reflector that increases the font size to something suitable for presenting to a class. And further kudos for keeping the post up after being informed via a comment that it's simply a command-line setting. Thanks Phil! I learned something new today too!

Had a lovely (and easiest yet) upgrade to dasBlog 1.6, thank Omar.  I used the Upgrade Zip file that is up on GotDotNet.

Not only is this version faster it also added an Archive feature.  Look in the left bar under Navigation, there's a 'Archives' section with Monthly Archives for all my content.  Don't forget the Search box also!

Note: The upgrade zip is missing the FreeTextBox CodeHighlightDefinitions.xml so I stole it from Omar directly.

I'm slowly catching up on blog posts (amazing how 7000 entries will go by when you're out of the country for a month!) and I'm noticing that Omar got his Toshiba M200, and as I also own one, I checked out his post.

The M200 (and M205) has the distinction of having a ridiculously high-resolution (1400x1060) display on a very small screen (12").  Since I've been laser'ed, you might thing I run small fonts.  Oh, no!  If you know me, you know I'm ALL about the giant fonts. 

I noticed in Omar's recent post, a pointer to this secret registry key that makes Internet Explorer prettier on high-resolution displays.  I haven't decided if I like it better yet, but I'm going to run it for a few week and see how I feel.

Add the UseHR Registry Entry

The UseHR value is added to the Main key under "Internet Explorer" as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Software

Microsoft

Internet Explorer

Main

UseHR= dword:00000001
