Am I insane or did they actually release the final version? A few blogs are pointing here but it is for the November CTP. Anybody know what is up?

I have a way to stop being overwhelmed with all of the new techologies : Stop reading all of your blogs. Yeah, right.

In my last post I mentioned I was having trouble with the VS 2005 help system. I filed a bug which got me absolutely nowhere. I had to repave my machine. All is well now. I just discovered code snippets and I like them.

Yes it has and shame on me. I have had alot of personal things going on, plus a new consulting gig on a massive project with a major sports network. This project is in VB .Net, and while I normally prefer C#, VB ain't too shabby. The switch over wasn't that bad but when I do other work in C# I keep forgetting braces and semi colons.

Saw this link on Forget Foo of a nice Ajax resource. Time to dig in.

Roy Osherove has a post about moderating comments in your blog with .Text. Not that I get much but every little bit helps.

I had reported a bug with the VS 2005 Unit Tester aborting tests when MS Anti Spyware is running. I have been getting MSN alerts at various times to keep me posted on the status of the bug. I  just got an email and then an alert on my cell phone telling me that the are working with the spyware team and will have it fixed before the final release.

Ok, so now I dig around the web and find out I can create a test by right clicking on the constructor. Not bad - it created a test project and a class to test the constructor. I just need to set some values. So I set the unit test project as the start project - because I didn't know about the Test Manager yet - and away I go. The test results show that the test was aborted and I see the anti spyware thingy popping up about something tyring to write to a file.
