A couple of people have asked if I could share the code for my experimental Xunit.net silverlight v1.1 test runner. Actually, the stuff I did was fairly simple and not very polished, but I'll should get someone else started on building a real runner out of it :-) You can...

I had redesigned my weblog looks back in July, but got bored with it now. It looked fine, but the colors were a bit too strong and the design a bit too complex. I really wanted something a lot more straightforward, that used space more effectively and with softer colors....

This is my latest Visual Studio 2005 Color Scheme: Desert Nights. This one features a dark background that isn't quite black (it has a slight hint towards brownish/greenish), and colors that stand from the background but without being too bright (most of them, at least). Code: XML: I've been using...

A few months ago I signed up again for emusic. The plans are not as good as they used to be, but they are still fairly cheap, and there was tons of new music I wanted to try out. Also helped that finding good music here, particularly if you like...

Just something I spent a bit of time getting up and running this afternoon: Just a slightly modified build of Xunit.net running inside the Silverlight v1.1 alpha on the browser on a very simple test runner I wrote. Nothing fancy, but might prove useful as I experiment a bit with...

My website usually has fairly low traffic, given that much of it (or this weblog, for that matter) isn't all that well known and I host few big files. Normally, the monthly bandwidth usage for winterdom.com is between 4.5 and 6 GB. However, bandwidth usage during october jumped to 16.28...

As many of you know, I spend time every now and then coming up with new color schemes for Visual Studio 2005. It's fun, and having a good color scheme can make all the difference in the world to your eyes when spending long times in front of your screen...

As most will probably know, turns out the Visual Studio 2008 Virtual Machines had an OS expiration date of Nov 1st, so they'll soon stop working. According to Jeff Beehler, the updated VMs have been posted for download now. However, when I visit the download page linked in his post,...
