Always fun to wake up and discover no free space on the c: drive.

Software Information
  • Other views on programming sins... - Eric Gunnerson links to other views on 7 deadly programming sins.
  • Leaving Microsoft - Niall Kennedy reports some news of Microsoft pulling back from the more grandiose parts of the Windows Live vision.
  • They're Back - Site for the new "Turbo" software that the soon-to-not-be-Borland DevCo announced yesterday, with lots of details on the free and paid versions of Turbo C# (and other Turbo products). In related news, it's becoming clear that the buyer for DevCo will be a VC, not an industry player as many had hoped, which may put an unfortunate amount of pressure on the spinoff to make money fast.
