Not many posts lately. Emily has been out of town recuperating. Grammy and Bompie (my folks) are in town helping me. So I haven’t been reading many blogs. And my Geek Notes output is directly proportional to how many blogs I read. But I see light at the end of the tunnel, so…
Apple iPodShuffle – Check this out. The new iPod has no local UI and is basically on “Full Library Shuffle” all the time. The size of a pack of gum, it comes in either 512MB or 1GB mode. Also, while you’re looking at Apple’s newest stuff, check out the Mac Mini. An entire Mac in a box 6.5” square. Cool. [via AaronX and The .NET Guy]
Frustration-Driven Language Development – I found this older Michael Feathers post after thinking about the question, “What does it really mean to say that a language supports testing?”
Portable $50 Wi-Fi Detector – “The Canary Wireless Hotspotter is a $50 WiFi detector with an LCD readout that shows the name, WEP status and signal strength of the 802.11g and 802.11b networks it finds.” [via BoingBoing]
Profiling .NET Applications with nprof – Darrell Norton gives us a nice little tutorial showing nprof. Remember this people: Don’t optimize until you have measured. Unless you use a profiler to tell you where to optimize, you are wasting your time.
Also, I’ll just throw this at the bottom. Google doesn’t know who Gerry Provost or Sarah Jean Provost are or where they are on the ‘net. This should help.
