  Yeah, seems very odd. Doesn't fit well with the ordinary C9 content it probably fit better on on10.net

• Quick UI with WPK in Windows PowerShell

  Oct 15, 2009 at 4:17 PM

  Hi James and the rest of the PS team.

   

  While PowerShell truly is a powerful shell, the power is countered by the low readability of the scripts IMO. I love PowerShell, I REALLY do, and I use it on a daily basis. However, I'm not particularly impressed by the claim that you can write anything (in any programming language) in fewer lines. Is it just me? I would have been much more impressed if the WPK made it possible to create input forms (not controls) much more easily than either method (WPK or old-school) allows me to at the moment. The data visualization scenarios are probably the ones that got the biggest improvement by the WPK.

• The Notepad Bug - But Why?

  Nice post Laura, keep 'em coming!

   

  Also, do you know this poweruser tip for notepad?

   

  If you create a new text file, write ".LOG" in the first line and save it. Next time you open the file in notepad, it will append the time and date on the last line of the file. Try it out!

• This May Be Your Next Mouse

  @SoftwareBarista: That's true but so are my MS Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 i'm sitting with right now. From the looks of it, it might be possible to construct the Arty Mouse in such a way that it will work for both hands.

   

  One of the reasons I like the Arty Mouse over the other concepts is that it features tactile feedback for clicks. The lack of tactile feedback is one of the main reasons products like the laser projection keyboard never got to be a huge success. Now it might not be just as important for a mouse than for a keyboard but just don't underestimate the sensation a real *click* gives you.

  Sure, it looks kinda cool and futuristic, and it does actually work (on perfectly flat surfaces), but in reality it fails because you have to hover your hands 2cm over the keyboard and because you don't have any tactile feedback when you press a key, making it impossible to write anything without looking at the keyboard...

  The Arty Mouse seems most realistic to me. All the other concepts lack the ability to rest your fingers on something. But it's hard to tell if this is a problem without testing each device for an leghty period of time. Please send me one of each and I'll tell you what I really think.

  Awesome... Keep 'em coming.

• Creating a modular application using Prism v2 - Screencast 4/4 : Decoupled Communication

  Mar 03, 2009 at 5:08 AM

  Nice job guys... This is one of the most useful screencasts I've ever seen.

  
  

  I think it strikes a good balance between in-depth and background info while still being comprehensible and consumable. I wish the series would continue into some of the more advanced topics of prism and silverlight.

• Expert to Expert: Erik Meijer and Jeffrey Snover - Inside PowerShell

  Dec 03, 2008 at 7:38 PM

  First of all, powershell is awesome, and I use it as much as possible, though the three letters "C", "M", & "D" tend to keep hanging around, mostly due to muscle memory.
  
  .Jeffrey talks about the next CTP (CTP3 I guess) in the video. When will we be able to download CTP3 for Vista? I can't wait to get my hands on it.

  Mike mentions that the current design by contract features are available for download under the research license. Where can I find that download?
