Where am I?
I decided that I should have a go at this LINQ thing, so as .NET 3.5 will be RTM at the end of the month I am using LINQ and .NET 3.5 in my new Locator project. The Locator project is just a small application that will run on a users computer and tell a […]
TFS Event Handler in .NET 3.5 Part 2
I have decided to have a little go at creating a Team Foundation Server Event Handler in .NET 3.5 that is resilient and scaleable. I will be using as many of the features of Team Suit as I can, but bear with me as there are a few things that are new to me. TFS Event […]

Using Visual Studio 2008
I have been tinkering with VS2008 for a week now, but I had not had time to really look at it. They have made the interface slicker, and faster making the whole experience a little nicer. When you go to create new projects you get a number of nice options that allow you to target […]
A change for the better #1 – Merrill Lynch to Aggreko
Well, that’s me in my last month at Merrill Lynch after a nice run as a developer. My reasons for moving I have stated before, but I have decided that the contractor business is just too risky for me at the moment. So I have accepted an offer from Aggreko! They have managed to woo […]
Team Foundation Server Error TF30177 : Team Project Creation Failed
When you create your first project, you may get an error during the creation process. When you look at the log file and see a “proxy error” message detail it may be to do with the way that TFS installs. I many large networks you can’t connect to the server in the browser if you use […]
A new day, a new week, a new Team Server
I have just finished upgrading out TFS Development environment to TFS2008 and I have to say it was a totally painless procedure… The installation handles the upgrade perfectly (hopefully the RTM will work just as well) and I even created a new project with Visual Studio 2005, nice… I now need to look at the […]

Windows Vista Pre-SP1 Performance and Reliability Updates Result
I had spotted these updates last night in a post by Robert McLaws and decided, what the heck, I’ll give it a go… I had no trouble installing the updates, but they do take a while and require a reboot, but when Vista started again I could see that it was running faster than the normal […]
Becoming a better developer…
Steve Clements has tagged me (thanks Steve) about how to become a better developer, he thinks tagging me ‘would make an interesting read’..Hmm, no pressure: Actually study for my MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer like I said I would. I posted earlier in the year that I was going to study for my MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer and that […]
