Read MoreI posted yesterday on using Powershell to email a TFS user if they had files checked out. Well, we still run a legacy set of SourceSafe databases for old projects that are under maintenance, but not major redevelopment. (Our usual practice is to migrate projects to TFS at major release points).
Anyway, these SourceSafe …
Read More- I am far from the first to post about the Alt.Net.UK conference next year. I think this is a great idea, I have posted a few times on how I am finding the most useful conferences being the ones about best practice. New technology is great, we all like new toys, but it is the engineering practices we do day to day that …
Read More With any source control system it is possible to leave files checked out. This is especially true if your IDE does the checking out behind the scenes. This is made worse still by the fact you can have a number of workspaces on the same PC in TFS. It is too easy to forget.

Read MoreFor those of you who attended my DDD6 session on Scrum you will remember that I had to cut my demo of eScrum short due to taking too many questions as I went along.
So I have recorded what I intended to show as a screencast, enjoy.
Read MoreToday I had to do some work on an old VB6 system, a development environment I do not have on my Vista laptop.
So I copied a Virtual PC image I had with most of the tools I needed and ran it on one of our Virtual Servers. As this VPC needed to run at the same time as the VPC I copied it from, I ran NewSid to change the …
Read More- Got back from DDD6 late last night after our 5am start. After what seemed a short nights sleep I got up to do the Abbey Dash 10K in Leeds this morning with 6000 other runners, posting a 47 minute time, which I suppose is OK given the complete lack training of late due to conferences of late and I was hampered by …
