Zeldman unveiled his 2004 spring redesign, if only he would do this blog. Any takers ?

Victor Garcia Aprea sums the changes up nicely:

• No reflection is being used – there is a new code model library. On the pros side, this basically means that the tedious file locking problems should go away. On the cons side, this means Reflector now likes to eat lots of more memory . 
• Whidbey support!! – A major hurra! for this one. All Whidbey new features are now supported (i.e. generics, etc). Plus… you can even load a Whidbey assembly with no Whidbey installed… what more do you want ugh?
• Side by side versioning: this wasn’t possible in previous Reflection versions; now you can load for example v1.0 of System.Web.dll along with v1.1 of System.Web.dll; hint: stay away from loading multiple versions of mscorlib.dll, bad things will happen if you don’t.

My favorite tool, to see how things work in the framework and solve disputes on assumptions. (Not to mention steal trade secrets )

[update: Reflector also works with the compact framework assemblies.]

Moved my blog to the final 1.6 release of dasBlog. And if this shows up on my rss-reader and the site everything seems to work.

Thanks Andy Boyd.

BradA has a heads up on the obsoleted members in v2 of the framework. Bug him if your favourite member is nominated to go.

Omar Shahine has some registry magic to fix it.

Since knowledge is more and more a commodity, easily shared between peers worldwide, experience is becoming more and more important to distinguish ourselves.

PragDave has some very interesting observations on knowledge workers and believes nursing has more in common with programming then we tend to think.

In today's New York Times, there's a story on how Companies are Finding Some Computer Jobs Best Done in U.S..

From the article:

Innovative business processes result from "an understanding of the business that happens when people get into a room and talk to each other," Mr. Pradhan said. "That is very difficult to outsource."

Aaron Skonnard has an interesting article about reaching webservice-endpoints using WSE 2.0 on the webservice developers center. Does this mean WSE 2.0 will be RTW "really soon now"™.

Nice articel on micro-shells on wincustomize, which should enable you to extend the folderviews from the music- and pictureview.
