At E3, Sony reveiled the specs and photo's of their upcoming console yesterday. I can only say: whoa. I've the feeling it will be tough for the XBox 360, although that's a great machine as well. One major feature of the PS3 is that it can play any game from the past, the XBox 360 only a subset. But let's not talk about the past, on a new...

As an O/R mapper developer I was looking forward to nullable types in .NET 2.0, so I could solve the problem of nullable value types in a solid way, but I just peeked into the new online .NET 2.0 Beta 2 documentation for VB.NET but I couldn't find any reference about nullable types in VB.NET. I hope it's me overlooking something obvious, so my...

This is apparently an old trick, though I learned it 2 days ago, and I'm very happy I finally found out about it. If you've ever struggled with VS.NET and webprojects which have to be loaded from an IIS server, load terribly slow and can't be used with Subversion? Well, check out this link:...

For the soon to be released major update for LLBLGen Pro, v1.0.2004.2, I'm porting the Microsoft Petshop project v3.x to show some of the new code implemented in the upgrade. Now, I've seen a lot of crap code in my life but what Microsoft dares to offer as an example for .NET is beyond, well... , crap. Sorry to say this, but after working with...

Various people seem to have discovered 'Codezone'. The name rang a bell, the color scheme did too. Then I remembered: I saw it first in the summer of 2004, at TechEd 2004 Europe. It was then introduced as the new developer community. It doesn't surprise me it's still the failing marketing driven 'community' initiative as it was back then. Not...
