  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).

  Good stuff and the weekly show is getting better and better with each episode. 
  
  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
  
  

• 

  Yeah, great show guys.
  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.

• 

  Whahahaha. Awesome! Scott's a genius!
  
  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.

• 

  Omg, get Scott on the C9 team!

• 

  Normally Jamie would quote Beatles lyrics but I'm gonna do it anyway
  
  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

  Thanks guys.  Scott, that was some funny stuff.  Thanks.
  
  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")}

  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!

• 

  I work on the same team as these guys and I'm loving watching this on Friday.  Great stuff.  Thanks for mentioning the C10 video.

  you should get Scott to do some more of those celebrity/ coder impersonations, those were all pretty good

•

  Thanks,

  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

• 

  Funny video! Can't wait for next week's show!

  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!

  any comments about starting shooting in widescreen? 16:9 is a lot nicer tha 4:3 ..most video here seem to be abnormally streated to 4:3 (to me atleast)

  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.

  Dan and Brian, you guys rock.  Things have been going downhill since scoble, and I haven't come out much to the site, but you guys and Scott Guthrie have got me interested again.
  
  Keep it up.
