With the announcement of the 1.9.5 release of Subtext, I thought I should talk about the new tagging and tag cloud feature. You can see it in action in the sidebar of my site.

It is with great pleasure and relief that I announce the release of Subtext 1.9.5. Between you and me, I’m just happy to get this release out before the kid is born.

Today is my last day of work as a VelocIT employee, a company I helped start and had (and still have) high hopes for as employee #1.

If you downloaded Subtext last night and try to edit keywords in the admin section, you might run into a syntax error. I fixed the download so if the file you download is named

This tool is really cool. It’s a tool used to make those cheesy Motivator posters. Or, go to this tool and make a Demotivator poster.

If you’ve worked with unit test frameworks like NUnit or MbUnit for a while, you are probably all too familiar with the set of assertion methods that come built into these frameworks. For example:

Not too long ago I mentioned that a power surge bricked the Subtext Build Server. What followed was a comedy of errors on my part in trying to get this sucker back to life. Let my sleep deprived misadventures be a cautionary tale for you.

My friend Scott Hanselman is on a mission to raise $50,000 and then some for the American Diabetes Association to help fund the search for a cure.

I am a total noob when it comes to working with Linux. The only experience I have with Unix is in college when I used to pipe the manual of trn via the write command to unsuspecting classmates. If I remember correctly, this is how you do it.

Although I am a big fan of Rhino Mocks, I typically favor State-Based over Interaction-Based unit testing, though I am not totally against Interaction Based testing.

Thought I’d post a few pics from mix with some notes.

Just a couple of notes while I have a break during the conference. I’ll try to find some time to write about my impressions of the technologies when I’ve had time to reflect.

Yesterday, while hanging out in the so called “BlogZone”, Tim Heuer pulled me aside for a audio short interview on the topic of Subtext and Open Source, two things I love to talk about and good luck getting me to shut up once you get me started. ;)

Well Jon and I arrived safely, driving into Vegas around 4 PM last evening. Upon arriving, we met up with Miguel De Icaza, the founder of the Mono project, and headed over to the Mashup Lounge where we ran into John Osborne, a senior editor with O’ Reilly.

If you’ve read my blog at all, you know I’m a big proponent of Continuous Integration (CI). For the Subtext project, we use CruiseControl.NET. I’ve written about our build process in the past.

Charlez Petzold makes the following lament in response to Jeff Atwood’s review of two WPF books, one being Petzold’s.

Several pople have asked me recently about the nice code syntax highlighting in my blog. For example:

UPDATE: This functionality is now rolled into the latest version of MbUnit.

Take a good look at this picture.

Before I begin, I should clarify what I mean by using a database as an API integration point.
