The
Daily Grind 505
By Mike Gunderloy
Monday, November 22, 2004
Off to the airport Monday morning, so the Monday edition is actually
being uploaded Sunday night. Deal with it.
And a reminder: you only have the rest of this week to submit your entry for
the Daily Grind Contest.
Software
-
Google Deskbar Plug-In
Development Kit - If you've bought into the Google deskbar and have .NET
coding skills, you can extend it yourself. (via
Stefano Demiliani)
-
SoapMail - If you want to support Web Services over e-mail here's the
proof of concept code. It's hedged with warnings about not being production
code.
-
The Netron
Project - Custom graphing (in the sense of nodes and edges) library for
.NET with a bunch of nifty design paradigm demos.
-
Miriam - Project to
remote control your PC via infrared. Possibly of interest to presenters.
-
And So It Starts Again... Avalon Community Technical Preview Released
- If you're an MSDN subscriber, you can now get Avalon for Windows XP. I
still counsel caution; this is mighty early in the game and doesn't belong
in the same room with a production PC.
Hardware
-
LidRock - Miniature CDs
baked into the lids of soft drink cups. Um, no. (via
Gadgetopia)
Information
-
The Message of the Tablet Medium - Larry O'Brien talks some sense about
Tablet PCs, steering a course between mindless cheerleaders and curmudgeonly
detractors.
-
VB
Refactoring - Somasegar hands out the official spin on the definite lack
of refactoring in VB 2005 - it would cause other features to slip.
-
Again About VB.NET Refactoring - Stefano Demiliani responds with what I
suspect will be the feelings of most professional VB .NET developers: "We
don't need toys like MY, we need working tool like
Refactoring!!"
