Today, Jenny and I start the first leg of our flight to New Zealand. On March 1st we will arrive there without February 28th existing. The international date line is so cool.
We’ll be in New Zealand for two weeks. During that time I’ll have no electronic wizardry of any note with me (Jenny carries the […]
The video tonight comes from Heath Stewart. At pretty much every WiX Working Group meeting, Heath reminds me to show the video and then Mike Carlson (who I consider as owner of the standard custom actions) reminds me he’s just there for the video.

Over the past few years I have been asked more and more which version of .NET is included in the operating system. The following chart shows from .NET 2.0 onward, which version of .NET is included in both the Client and Server Windows operating systems.
Note that this diagram also shows which pieces are optional […]
Tomorrow my team at work is going to see Avatar. I saw the movie when it first came out with my wife and a couple friends. But at the time we just went to a normal showing without 3D. Since then, I’ve been told that the 3D version is a sight to behold. So, I’m […]
