As per the blog entry "Feed icons" and using icons pulled from the new feedicons site. Hopefully MSDN will follow suit as well, which would probably be pretty easy... it looks like they are mostly linking every instance of the 'old' RSS icon to the same graphic. I'll suggest it and we'll see what ha […]

Turns out it was a TV movie (Sword of Gideon), but still... I'm surprised that it isn't mentioned in any of the reviews/articles about 'Munich' that I've read so far.... (IMDB info). Any one else seen the TV movie? […]

I have nothing really to say about this, except that I'm impressed... […]

My computer keeps searching for "overture monitor five bids NZ20041109A" .... no idea why, no idea what piece of spyware is doing it... anyone know?

Kent pointed me to this article on xml.com, talking about the benefits of having direct actions available as links in your feeds. This is a good idea, but it is a good idea for any HTML content. If you are going to have a link at the bottom of a MSDN page saying "give us feedback", it would be best […]

I've recently accepted a job with the Channel 9 team (working for Jeff and working with Adam, Erik, Robert, and Charles), and ... because I'm mostly a one-job kind of guy, that means I have to stop working at MSDN. So, come January 16th, I'll be over in a new office at Channel 9, probably not codin […]

I've been working (as part of a large team!) on the new platform for MSDN, which is up and running at http://msdn2.microsoft.com... and now you can see prototype versions of the MSDN home page ontop of that same platform. Check it out here [

First Kent, now Brian... it seems like it would be a great time to apply for a job as a Content Strategist :) […]

I've been working on some feed support in MSDN's new online platform (a beta of which is running http://msdn2.microsoft.com) and I had to decide what content-type to use when outputting a RSS feed. I knew this was a contentious issue in the past, but I thought it might have been resolved so I did so […]

Matthew mentions in response to an earlier post that my site might be broken for people using the IE 7 Beta ... I don't have IE 7 installed, because I thought I should really be testing any of my work projects in IE 6 (along with Firefox and Opera), but if anyone else has it on their machine, could […]

Just had some photos taken, (I even splurged for the reproduction rights on them, so I can get prints via Ofoto or wherever), there might be photos with me in them, but the kids are cuter

In the end, MSDN didn't end up needing the RSS editor I wrote, so I've stripped out the features and content specific to their needs and started turning it into a more generic RSS creation tool. If you'd like to see it, as it is, you can run it from a ClickOnce install point here on my site. There a […]

I've been trying to fix some XHTML issues on my blog, but two pieces of technology are thwarting my plans.... first, there is the text editor in .Text (FreeTextBox) which appears to be making the first anchor or image tag in the post uppercase, even though I have its XHTML support enabled... (so my […]

Don't misunderstand, I enjoyed the book... but just like watching an episode of your favorite TV show and knowing that it will be another week until you can see another (or watching the Pegasus episode of Battlestar […]
