You're Doing it Wrong

I'm blatantly stealing Sam Gentile's "New and Notable" linkdump.  Check out his blarg; it's great for those interested in the latest .NET development technologies.

I wanted to link to an awesome article over at Opinion Journal by Joshua Muravchik about the democracy/tyranny dynamic and how it relates to the start of modern wars and our current struggles in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Thanks to Charles, the dirty neocon hippie, for the link to the article.

I'm pretty busy right now reading Visual Studio Team System:  Better software development for Agile teams.  You can take a peek at the book website here.  Its a great book.  There, that's my review.  I think I'll do a more extensive one when I'm done.  Until then, if you're a .NET programmer and you're looking at implemeting some flavor of Agile, check this book out.  Its exactly what you need.

Like wikipedia?  Ever thought that having a wiki would be a great way to store and organize information for yourself or maybe your business?  Then why haven't you gone to MediaWiki, downloaded the same software that is used by Wikipedia, and installed it on your machine?  Yes, you don't need  a linux boxen to run a wiki; you can serve it right out of IIS on your XP box if you want.  It is definitely cool when a great software product like Wikipedia is freely available via open source.  I'm planning on setting up a dev wiki at my workplace to store and share information among developers, which will eventually supplement whatever Team System websites are created for our projects.

And, lastly, ever wonder how the mouse cursor works?  http://www.1-click.jp/
