Thanks! Dan didn't write the tags, though, they are pre-populated in Channel 9 already. JavaScript came up during FelonSpy (Dan's pick of the week).

Nice to see the production values improving too (not just a logo, but coloured lighting and stuff too - cool!). Keep this rate of improvement up and you'll be up there with the 100 million dollar movies by the end of the year.
Seriously, good job which contrasts nicely with the other Channel 9 videos. Friday night (UK time) is becoming "Watch Channel 9 night" around here
Keep it that way! And please, invite Scott Hanselman for the next episodes.
Great stuff. I love this show.
Congrats.
SWEET! Nice work, I didn't even think about using PowerShell for this!
BTW, nice Ross Perot quote - seems appropriate given Scott's impressions.
My solution to fix the Visual Studio BETA 1 to RTM issue
As Daniel Moth mentions this issue is only specific to VS 2008 BETA 1
[Sean Connery accent]Great Scott! This was the funnest Channel9 show I've ever watched!
I laughed my gluteus maximus off at the end.
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Here is your *.sln fix. A 1-liner in PowerShell:
dir . -r *.sln | %{$t=cat $_.fullname;$t -replace "Codename Orcas","2008" > $_}
Naturally, should always do a backup before such global replacements:
dir . -r *.sln | %{copy $_ ($_.fullname + ".bak")}

..c9 = scoble... no..rory ... now dan.
i dont know anything about dan - but from this video
... he seems like a nice cool likable guy.
(phew)
Probably most of us watched it because why would we stop a video before the progress bar hits the end?
We're geeks, we notice that kinda stuff
I hope to see more special guests like maybe Dr. Sneath.
Its blasphemy to do otherwise, the last 3 minutes are the best!
You can't light a porcupine on fire and get liquorish...
I suppose it depends on what it's been eating... sugar beets...
I agree!!
I would like to subscribe to the show as a video podcast.
Is there a feed for that?
Thanks,
Ari
He likes me, he really, really likes me
I'm a big Jeff Atwood fan, so yeah
I think he's going to Mix so we'll be able to interview him there
Unfortunately there's not currently a way to do this. I'm told by the C9 devs that this will be coming in the future, but I don't have an ETA for you. Best suggestion I have it to tell you to watch the This Week in Channel 9 shows list every week. Our goal is to post every Friday, barring any circumstances which get in the way of that.
Thanks for watching!

For better or worse the Channel 9 infrastructure was built around 4:3, so that's our target. Week 2 of our show was accidentally shot in 16:9 and stretched to fit 4:3, but Week 1 and Week 3 was shot natively in 4:3.
Unless Channel 9 plans on changing their infrastructure to 16:9 then 4:3 will continue to be our target.
Brian
Keep it up.
