Scott Hanselman's 2011 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
Dec 1101Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable. Here's mine. Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week. For me, util means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray. If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. Many/most are free some aren't. Those that aren't free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and perhaps your money. Here are most of the contents of my ...

Studio for Wijmo MVC Review
Aug 1122I was recently asked to review Studio for Wijmo MVC by Component One and, overall, I am impressed. There are 2 major components of this. The first is Wijmo Complete which is a collection of over 30 UI widgets (very similar to jQuery UI).

There have been 3 major official r...

Apr 1107What? A blog post on how to take a screenshot? Seriously? Sure, this might seem a silly or superfluous blog post, but I can assure you that I see lousy screenshots on blogs, online tutorials and more (including some of my old posts) at least daily. Perhaps it's my geek eye but I (and I assume you, Dear Reader) just know when something is wrong with a screenshot. Just like you are the only one who notices when someone is running a 4:3 image on a 16:9 flat screen at a convention and it looks da...

How to move you posts from Subtext to WordPress
Jan 1105A few weeks ago, I finally finished the migration of Daniela’s old blog to a new domain and a new blogging platform: we moved from Subtext to WordPress. The reasons of the move There are two reason behind that move: the big ecosystem around WordPress, and the lack of a real desktop blogging tool on the Mac (combined to the outdated FCKeditor 2 that is used by Subtext). During the migration Daniela thought about a different Information Architecture of her content spread around in the web, d...
