Programmatically adding EventSetters in WPF
I’ve been doing some WPF work lately. WPF is ridiculously powerful and provides a lot more than WinForms. On the other hand - wow, the learning curve is quite steep. I think I’m improving, though.

Visual Studio 2010 is big… at least the CTP is…
I decided to download the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 CTP tonight. It comes packaged in a virtual machine (not sure if it is Vista or what yet… I’m going to bed before running it).

Simple PowerShell script to generate thumbnails
I was working with a lot of images for a website today and I needed to quickly create thumbnails for each one. I did a quick Google search on PowerShell and creating thumbnails, but I gave up after about a minute… yeah, I probably got impatient, but oh well.

Slides and notes from MNUG talk
I promised the slides, notes and links from my Memphis .NET User Group talk, so here they are… and wow, they haven’t really changed much from when I gave the PowerShell talk to the FSDNUG group. So, I’ll just link to the zip of the presentation from that talk.
The primary slide that I added to my presentation was entirely related to a StackOverflow question entitled, “how do you use PowerShell.”
I felt that the talk went fairly well, but I did have to rush towards the end because I added an overview of some real scripts that I use, but I didn’t remove enough of my prior content… thus, the rush. :-) No big deal, though. I did get the feeling that there were a few people who didn’t really feel that PowerShell applied to them, but hey, that’s fine. At least there weren’t any tomatoes!

devLink 2008 Recap
Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in devLink 2008. Randy Walker, Michael Johnson and myself drove down on Thursday morning. This was my second time to attend and John Kellar has done an excellent job once again in putting this conference together. An addition to the conference this year was an Open Spaces format that was held alongside the more traditional, “eyes-front” presentations. Before I get to that, I want to share my experiences regarding the rest of the conference first.
