This is the the third instalment of my experiences and ideas around the development of a piece of software to initially satisfy my disappointment around Outlook and also to allow me to play with some new technologies and making them all work together. Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here.

Well TechEd Au 2008 is over and done with. I did a presentation called Productive WCF and as promised to all the delegates that attended my presentation (thank you very much for attending by the way), I have provided a link where you can download a ZIP file containing all the demo code.

In a part 1 of this series, I talked about what was the purpose of coming up with this "software thingy". Now I will tackle some of the design aspects that have evolved as I have been working on it.

Its been a little while since I have blogged as I haven't had very many value items to add to the blogosphere lately. However, I have been steadily (albeit slowly) working away on a little software project that may or may not see the light of day, but it has been a fun learning experience, and may eventually come to something. If nothing else, its a good testbed for a number of latest technologies.

Recently (and quite randomly I might add), I had an error dialog popup continuously, every 5-10 minutes which read:

I am a big fan of Subversion. I like TFS too, but subversion is more suited to my small scale personal needs whereas TFS is more in the corporate space, or at least, more in the "requires more juice" space. Juice that I don't really have.

So I *finally* managed to get a videocast/podcast done. Wally has been harassing me for ages, and I eventually had the time to get one done. This one is on the Peer to Peer support in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and how easy it is to do. Its remarkably simple yet extremely powerful.
